maybe you could explain two more things to me:

1. i own an (much overpriced) iliad. one of the nice things about it is the ability to zoom to a certain area by drawing a diagonal line with the stylus. can the prs 600 do this or something like this? or exactly how (by how many interface interactions) would you zoom to a certain area?

2. another nice things with the iliad is the ability to take (graphical) notes on pdfs, be it text-only or image-only or text-behind-image. and then (with additional software) have those notes integrated to a normal pdf on my pc. which i can print out etc. can the prs 600 (plus sony library or other software) do this, that is: a. take those notes (especially on scanned text-behind-image pdfs)? b. get those handnotes synced to "normal" pdfs? if so, what steps do you need to get to this?

i would be very grateful could you explain those points. thank you very much!

greetings,

1. Yes, you can. You just use the stylus or your finger and you can move the page around with your finger, if that makes sense. It's sort of like the "hand" icon in a computer PDF in Adobe.

2. Not that I'm aware of. Those sound like pretty advanced functions that I don't use nor would even know how to access . I have taken notes on highlighted text and then exported those annotations, but that's all I know how to do so far.
