The SmartQ 7 comes with Evince, which is only a viewer. I don't think there is such a tool for Linux.

So it will. And it's been ported to the SmartQ 7, too.

Has anyone else installed Gutenbrowser? I installed it but haven't been able to get it to download any of the books I select.

But Xournal does that by treating the pdf as images. There was some Linux program that could annotate a pdf correctly but it worked so and so. So you are right in that it is a definite lack of good programs to manipulate pdf in that way on Linux.

Yeah Xournal doesn't do true annotations but it is good enough for many peoples needs. To elaborate for those who are curious xournal treats the pdf as a back ground image, layering your notes on top. Then when saving you have 2 options: save your notes separate from the pdf with a reference to the pdf file, or to export to a new pdf file. When exporting back to pdf it will try to keep everything as a pdf with the notes as a layer on top. What it can't do is actually modify the original pdf text nor save your notes as an annotation that can be turned off.

There are several other programs (jarnal, pdf-edit, okular) that work for annotations to varying degrees but each of them have limitations.

My Q7 broke, so I went back to my Airpanel 100.

I'm going to write a comparison of my experiences with the 2 devices ina little while.

Wow, now that I've heard that two people have had this problem, I'm rather more dubious about getting the Q7. I'm wondering if other users have found it to be that shoddy and non-durable.

This is horrible to hear! This is the physical information I was looking for though. There are no more in stock until the 15th of July. If I see more of these issues pop up I may have to start looking again.

Let us know how your attempts to get this repaired (if you do) go, Nate, and again sorry to hear this.

What a drag...
