I'm not sure exactly what you mean. But I have scanned or have found scanned versions of a TON of books that I use for teaching. They are in PDF format. I'm not sure if a Kindle can read PDFs. The new iPad will. The iBook store uses a format called ePub which is open (unlike the

Actually, you can make annotations with a PDF. And there is at least one iPhone/iTouch app that lets you do that. Probably more. And I've never had my iPhone freeze. Turning pages could be an issue though. On 1/27/10 1:45 PM, Aaron Sherber wrote: Some people are already using them. I
