Just want to add a word of caution. The sketching ability is fine for very rough sketches - but drawing anything in the slightest bit artistic would be very difficult. There is a delay in the time between you draw a line and when it appears on the screen, and also the fine level of control you may be used to with drawing on PCs just isn't there. You will find that even drawing a square or a circle will result in something quite wobbly.

It is fine for underlining text in a document, or roughly circling a section of a document, or even drawing simple boxes-and-arrows diagrams. But drawing a horse, or a landscape, or anything similar from the real world would be a tough challenge if want it to look half decent.

Overall, the DR1000S is an excellent reading device (probably as good as any available) but would be a very expensive and most likely disappointing electronic artist's pad. Since you will not be able to export the sketches in a useful format to your PC, you would probably be better off with a paper notebook and pencil.
