I can comment on the stylus problem. I use a Motion pen and I also sometimes have that problem- the ink does not really coincide with the tip of the pen so that crosses for t's or dots for the i's go askew. I try calibrating the reader side (go to settings--> sound and display) which at times solves the problem but this solution is really chancy. This really does not bother me when I use the journal because the space is ample; but when I have to bunch up my notes around the margin of journal articles, then it really is a problem especially since I don't write in cursive so I have to lift the pen a lot when writing in print. Sometimes I have to erase and begin again because the letters overlap. I'm not sure if this will be addressed in the next update. But except for the time lost in erasing and rewrting my notes, this is not really a major problem--just annoying.
