Hey, who did this review? Sony Daily Edition (and the Touch Edition) do have PDF and ePub support!

Hello,
I am looking ofr an ebook reader that allows me to read and make notes on readings and papers for my academic work. I would like to be able to make notes and underline at least on doc and pdf formats, which are the most common used when papers are produced.
Do you know if the sony ebook allows for this or, if like with kindle, i have to pay for every conversion i make from a doc to a kindle doc?
Thanks very much!
