I'm very used to making use of Sony's version of Sketchpad and spoiled by it. Kobo's version is pretty crippled though. It's a very nice feature when done properly, not just for doodling.

With Sony's drawing utility, you have full editing control over it, including an eraser in case you need to change something. And when you save it, it's saved in its own drawing section and doesn't get added to your books. You can bring it up again, edit it, resave it. Kobo adding it to your library as a book really doesn't make any sense and makes it annoying to use, even if you never needed to correct something.

I use it when needing to know various show times to plan our day around lakefront walks, I'll list the various showtimes for us. Find a reference to something really odd and weird during the day and want to know more about it, but you're nowhere you can look it up... jot it down as a note on a drawing and look it up later when you're home.

So it's a nice feature to have, but Kobo needs to do some serious thinking about what is usable and what is just nonsense in its current state.
