Can you elaborate on this? I've considered buying one of these things since the price dropped from $1k to $700, but if I can't read and annotate PDFs without pointless barriers it's useless to me.

It's been some time since I have read the reviews of the big Sony devices. My recollection is that the most recent version will only handle PDFs. I think it does support making annotations but with some sort of weird limitation.

Anyway, my memory could be faulty, so it's best if you find and read the reviews yourself.
