I use mine quite a bit for annotating documents and presentations. Provided the screen size works for you (you have to be comfortable reading somewhat smaller font sizes than usual), it's quite good for how I work. As another poster pointed out, it follows a different model than most PDF readers, in that annotations are done just like on paper; you don't select text and highlight, you just highlight like you would on paper. My first reaction was that this was lame, but I've come around to feeling that it's probably the right approach for me, in that my mind is not constantly switching between reading and selection modes. Your annotations do sync back to the computer, but to get annotations out in a way that's reusable in other software, you have to use third-party software like "Biff": https://github.com/soulisalmed/biff (there are others too) Another positive thing about it is that because the interface is very sparse and you're working with it largely like paper, you don't have to devote mental load to worrying about accidentally pressing buttons onscreen or about whether palm rejection is going to work or not (at least if you're right-handed). I find that freeing.
