Why, thanks for the answer Dulinsbook!And don't worry about the handwriting, mine is similar
Silly me, this thread was one of the few about the Boox that i overlooked.
Nice to see that the boox may do some screen captures, it's such a convenient tool really.But it also made me give a second look to some other overlooked threads.
I don't know if it can help anyone else but here

a N518 user mentioned a firmware update for the device and provide a link for the .zip update file.He was more after DRM-reading abilities so he didn't mentioned anything about the other improvements.Unfortunately, he also forgot to mention that within the archive was a pdf describing the update (it's in german but nothing google translation can't manage)
IMHO the most interesting part is the last one -
19. Now you have the latest software version installed and can now
for example, notes in PDF files to make. These comments
be permanently stored in the PDF document as soon as the PDF reader
terminate or change to another document.
20. To make annotations in PDF files, make sure that
In the PDF menu "6 Normal "and" 0 Note have selected.
21. With the above settings, you can now draw directly in the PDF document.
the only limitations seems to be
-no notes in reflow mode
-no typed notes so far, only handwritten scribbling (perhaps for next update)
So no, it's not yet the miracle solution for annotating, but it's still a step in the right direction.
