Zaks' 6502 is what started me in programming too! I checked the thread to see if anyone would mention that book. I am sure any good book will do, as long as it captures the reader's attention.
The Entourage Edge has a stylus and you can scribble on a pdf. But: saving the pdf w/ the scribbles on top results in a bitmap (!) pdf. If you are interested, the EE forums are still very lively.
I got an Entourage (now defunct) Edge this spring, for reading and reviewing papers. It's a dual table w/ both eInk and lcd screens. In theory, it could be a great review/read tool: you read PDFs on eInk. A nice feature is that you can select a rectangle on the eInk side (e.g. a color figure) and have it shown on the lcd side. Unfortunately, zooming (important when reading two-column papers) is clunky. Annotation is clunkier still.
