I can make handwritten notes in apps like Pages or Notability, because they are designed to be used that way. E-book apps are designed to "give" info, not absorb it.

I understand limitations of today's technology but there will be progress eventually. It just seems natural to me that a reading device can also provide a writing option as a next big thing.
Color e-ink is possibly the best contender for the next big thing kindle will give us, but apart from having colorful covers I don't see a lot of benefit (it's still not good enough for comics). I doubt amazon will rush with that
Amazon is a big enough company to take these devices even furter, it's just a matter if they want to, or they will follow someone elses inovations. Or they will just give us usb-c and shut us up for next few years :P

I would use it like that, and my wish goes in that direction. But everyone uses device differently and handwriting recognition has a lot of benefits. But all in good time
