I do manage to use it. Mainly for 3 things
1. Read books. This works really well. I can write on the margins (small comments), leave bookmarks for later references. In the browser I added an icon for "add shortcut", and before I open a book, I add a shortcut to it in the home page - just one additional click when i start the book. This enables me to easily return to the book after I open the device, and see all books I currently am reading.
When reading, I have to return from time to time to the setting page to turn the pen off and on. But not too often. (well, of course too often! Just not enough to really bother me)
2. Mark papers. This works OK. I managed to get the pen calibrated so it works pretty well on most of the screen. The problem is, of course, that the best place to annotate is on the border, close to the edge of the screen, where the pen doesn't work well...
3. Take notes during meetings. Works OK. I have to remember to wait ~2 seconds after zzz disapears to start writing, to avoid pen-lock up. I also put a credit card on top of the middle 3 buttons.
So, yes, you have to fiddle with it all the time to make it work. Like an unfinished gadget, or like windows (well, windows is more of an overfinished gadget)
