About the annonations of PDF:
Does the handwrited annonations "map correctly" after the PDF zooms +/- or rotates?

About the power management:
Discussions above seems if an iLiad user want to have maximum using time now,
he should turn off his iLiad entirely when he does not read anymore
and should reboot it with long 45 sec when he wants to read the ebook even just to take a look of 1 page?!

However, before you read a paperback book, you don't spend 45 sec to reboot, right?

The iLiad is an e-"book"; thus, in my opinion, it should be turned on as soon as possible, with whatever mode, to reserve the "basic" demand and advantage of the conventional book.

I care the "waiting time" before I read an ebook much more.
The hibernate or suspend mode should resolve both the "waiting time" and power consuming problem.

I hope the Linux OS should have the potential and possibility to overcome the hardware limitation.
Therefore, the iLiad can write the SDRAM data into the internal flash memory or external flash card to make itself into hibernate mode such as Windows does into HDD
or the iLiad can perform standby/resume mode (with very few power consuming) as the same as the X-scale CPU based PPCs or Palms can.
