After a quick review, I'm *really* impressed.  If you specify the PDF
file on the command line, it's automatically imported.  The app itself
feels much more "finished" than flpsed.  Exporting out to PDF loses
niceties like bookmarks (or whatever they're called) but that's not
important to me.

Please let us (me!) know about bugs, difficulties, or other uglies
that you run into.  But right now, I'm kinda in love and want to trade
in my venerable Thinkpad T40 for an X tablet (Lenovo's outlet store
has refurbed ones for just over $700 right now).
