Just wanted to know what people like or don't like about taking notes with the DX. I wouldn't be taking major notes, just the equivalent of underline/highlight of a phrase in the document with a word or two in the margin. If anybody can point me to a video or picture series of the process so I can get an idea of the "look and feel", I'd much appreciate it. I found one that shows just highlighting. Easy to use the keyboard while holding the device, for instance?

Also wanted to double-check that if you take a native PDF file (not a scanned image), and convert it with something like Calibre, that you can take notes on it.

Also wanted to know if there was any sort of function that would allow the DX to be used as a "notepad" to jot down phone numbers, "to do" lists, reminders, etc.

Thanks!
