Okay I've got it today, and for a "fat" stylus, it measures up to be "normal pen size", or in other words, very comfortable to hold and use.

Picture comparison with a pen

I have the M96 case, and the stylus is a tight fit - so it won't be falling out any time soon.

As a side question, can anyone recommend a "ruled paper" scribble app, so I can try writing as if it was a sheet of paper?

Issues I'm working through:
The drawing "point" is not the tip of the nib, but the base of the nib. As I hold my pens at an angle + the fact I'm left handed, means that I barely see what I'm writing. Also, for precision drawing, it can cause mistakes.

I've not been successful with using the "eraser" yet - I've only tried the scribble app, but using the "eraser" side currently draws. Perhaps eraser mode is only for PDFs?
