Pdf scans before OCR application are indeed non-searchable (and non-highlightable) scans, but after OCR has been applied thereon they become searchable pdf scans, if OCR layer has been saved within pdf scan. Although nowadays we can search and highlight even non-searchable pdf scans e.g. using iOS/Android apps that would automatically apply OCR on the currently opened pdf page as we read it (without saving it to pdf thereafter), or we can search a full folder of non-searchable pdf scans in this way without opening any file.

Curious to know what the OP decided on and how does an ereader know if a book was "shared"

All ereaders that I know of are locked in their own ecosystem unless you use calibre to strip DRM then sideload content.
I like KOBO Libra H2O. The orange light on it is very nice especially on the white model and KOBO is the most customizable e-reader I know of. No SD card and you can turn off wifi if you want with an on-screen toggle button. |

Tolinos and PocketBooks have Adobe ADE built-in so they can download Adobe DRM books directly from various eBook sellers. The limitation is whether their built-in browsers can navigate the various pop-ups the sites use for downloads. For example, I can't download books from Google Books because I can't get the "three dot" menu to "pop-up" and work in my Tolino's browser. It looks like Kobo now has the same issue. (I used to be able to buy books directly from Kobo using my Tolino.) Tolinos and PocketBooks can also borrow directly from Overdrive.

Honestly, Kobos are just as 'locked to an ecosystem' as every other reader. |
