I still don’t understand where the market for eInk devices with stylus is. I’m not in it myself. At least for now, 6.8” screen is sweet for me, I’m not looking for something larger for ebooks, much less PDFs.

Even with regular eInk device you can use a stylus. You just cannot free form annotate. And that seems to make sense only for fixed layout books. For reflowable text what happens to your scribbles if you change the text size? And if it is doing handwriting recognition, good luck with that on a low powered eInk device.
