Kovid, you are a god.
The fact about pdf, as far as I can determine, is that it was never intended to be a true electronic format. If it were, the documents wouldn't all be 8-1/2 x 11 -- exactly the size of printer paper. They'd be more monitor-sized. Of course any electronic work (book, journal article etc.) should be *edit*-protected. On my Kindle I can make notes and underline to my heart's content. I cannot move paragraphs around, delete words, or add anything to the actual text. This is desirable. But the academic work -- journal articles and the like -- is what I *most* need the ability to annotate. For example, underlining the parts I'd like to cite.
