I wanted to buy an iLiad, but I just don't think I can justify the cost right now. On the other hand, I've got a bunch of eBooks to read (I've been reading them on my Mac laptop) and also a large number of journal articles and other documents which I'd like to be able to organize digitally. I have some questions about the eBookwise 1150, though.

1 - Can you search or even browse "bookmarks," i.e. annotations? I'm guessing it doesn't do handwriting recognition at this price, so you couldn't search the text of your notes unless there's a screen keyboard, which would be clunky, but is there any way to review the markups you've made to a document? (E.g. search highlighted text?)

2 - Can you backup bookmarks/annotations? Are they readable other than on the device?

3 - Can you turn the backlight off, and if so, is the device readable in sunlight?

Thanks,
