Hi, it works with Moodle very well. The only request you have is the ability to drag and drop a hypertext link to you notes is unavailable. You can open a ling and save that link to a PDF but not an active journal. You are correct these features do need to be promoted.

Regards,

Thanks, Michaelj. Something to look forward to .. .

And to kpal, I'm a fairly new (and happy) eDGe owner, and I thought I saw on one of the tutorials that the eDGe has the ability to reformat the display of PDFs so that one is not entirely dependent on the format of the original document. I think I also heard that this was a feature that many other ebook devices had the capability to do. Perhaps someone with more experience can understand what I'm trying to say and explain it in greater detail.

I think you mean "PDF Reflow", which the eDGe has always had. It basically drops all the formatting and simply displays just the text.

For PDFs that are just text anyway this often works really well. However, some PDF producers do odd things with how they actually represent the text in the PDF, resulting in things like each line of text appearing to be a single paragraph in PDF Reflow. Multi-column PDFs are generally unreadable in PDF Reflow because in the PDF you don't actually have 2 columns but rather a bit of text (i.e. a line from Column 1), a space, and a bit more text (i.e. a line from Column 2), and then the next lines from each column, etc., resulting in the PDF Reflow effectively showing an interleaving of the text from both columns.

For PDFs with tables and diagrams, you still get the text, but you lose the tables and diagrams.
