I have a question about annotating with the stylus on these new kobo devices. I’m not much interested in marking up the book with the pen, mainly because those mark ups are locked into the device. But I am interested in using the highlight/notes functionality with the pen, Because those notes will sync between devices and our exportable through caliber. Is it possible to use the stylus to write into that notes field when you highlight text? That would be much better than using the annoying touch keyboard on the kobo. Will that handwriting be converted into text which can then be exported through calibre or is that functionality still like it’s always been on the old Kobos and is finger input only?

All of the reviews and hands-on videos that I could find only focus on the writing capability of the stylus not on the notes field itself.
