At other hand I use my iPad stylus pen on my kindle and kobo and give response from screen of them (for turning page or select options).

Could you explain for me why on other e ink screen like android can write by pen but on kobo or kindle can not do if we have related software ?
Firstly, neither the Kindle or Kobo run Android. They are running a Linux distribution with proprietary software dedicated to reading. Neither company is interested in adding function like this to their devices.

If someone wants to write an application like this, they can. Koreader is an example of an alternative ereader application that can be installed on these devices. But, that needs someone interested in doing this and who has the skills. I haven't heard of anyone doing this.

Of course, there might be hardware issues. These devices have a good resolution for the display. But, the touch doesn't need to be as high resolution as most tablets will be. They are designed for use with a finger and the unit of selection is basically a letter. That would affect how well a writing application would work.
