By using the "Notes" feature.

It was my understanding that the DX didn't allow annotation of PDFs.

It's too hard to do close reading of the kind required by legal documents on a laptop screen, and a laptop is too bulky.

I work in lit support, scanning & converting paper to digital docs for law firms. I think the DX is too limited to be really useful yet (it'd help a few people whose needs exactly match its abilities, but it's got too many limitations for more general use), although the other larger e-ink readers with better notation abilities, like the iRex or iLiad (?) would be good. (The other ones are just too expensive for general use.)
Eventually, I'm sure something like the DX, or a letter-sized tablet e-ink reader, will be standard in the legal industry for reviewing documents. I expect we've got a few years yet, while the hardware & software people (1) sort out actual bugs and (2) figure out what's needed *aside* from the ability to read popular novels.
I suspect the Cincinnati DX purchases will not save nearly as much paper as they'd like, and most of the good that this publicity gimmick is going to bring is an awareness of DRM to people who've never been annoyed by it before.
(Oh! Figured out what the $120/month allowance must be--file transfer/conversion fees.)
