It's got kind of a strange interface, but seems to work quite well. Annotations open up properly in Preview and Acrobat. Check out iAnnotate.

Have you found an iPad app that can mark up PDFs yet? I saw this demo of PadNotes http://www.appinsider.com/articles/2010/03/11/padnotes-turns-ipad-into-a-pdf-editor-and-notepad/ and thought that it'd be perfect, but the app is turning out to not be as slick as the demo suggests. Please let me know if you've found something effective! Jamison, I’m totally in the same boat. Have you found an iPad app that can mark up PDFs yet?

I can comment, highlight, and split/combine PDFs. Acrobat works fine, but it's a little slow and over-featured for what I need. For me, Preview in Leopard and up does everything I need.

The big screen clearly puts it ahead of iPhones for readability but I think the way you hold it may be even more important. Reading PDFs on my laptop while sitting on the couch works pretty well but heat becomes an issue pretty quickly. I'm assuming the iPad will not generate as much heat as a laptop and the way you hold it will make any heat it does produce less of an issue. Typing on the virtual keyboard doesn't look particularly fun but will have to wait and see. I am curious what your recommended PDF editor is these days. Adobe Acrobat Pro?
