I've also nearly zero interest of sync/seeing annotations between devices, which can actually be done with many devices of there is no DRM, but not between makes.

It's pretty trivial for Amazon to make Scribe content sync to THEIR apps. It's getting that info outside Amazon is the important bit.
I believe he said that you can use the platform-specific Sharing feature from the Kindle app to get stuff to third party apps (Len asked him about Evernote specifically).

Again this is for user-created content (checklists, free form notes, etc.). There's no DRM involved.

For annotations for ebooks and personal documents, I assume the usual Export feature will work.

I'm still not clear on how it works with Word documents. But integration is probably pretty good, as they were using it internally and with beta customers.

But none of these 'undistracted writing' features are of interest to me. My handwriting skills have atrophied to a considerable extent.

Len is really into this sort of thing, and has both Remarkable tablets, Kobo Elipsa, iPads, and Rocketbook. I expect he'll have a roundup soon after he gets one.
