NTrig is a non-starter for me --- I'm still annoyed that they switched away from Wacom after the Surface Pro 2. Every time I've tried using the stylus on my son's Surface Book 2 I've wanted to throw the system against a wall (the Apple Pencil incites similar feelings for me) --- I have a Toshiba Encore 2 Write 10 which I need to find a new battery for, and which I need to then find a use for.
I would have bought a Kobo unit, but they dropped off my radar when they switched away from Wacom --- I loathe the lower hover distance, and need another battery to charge like I need a hole in my head.
I really hope that it's possible to install Nebo.app on the Kindle Scribe, and I'm similarly hoping that the Premium Pen and the 64GB unit is actually pressure-sensitive.
That said, all I need are:
- large-screen, high-resolution Kindle (curious when the first 13.75" or so device will be released)
- Wacom stylus (I've had to switch in the past between pressure-sensitive and not, and can do so again if need be)
- notes of some sort in Kindle books w/o having to resort to an on-screen keyboard (handwriting, even un-recognized w/ a stylus covers that)
- freeform annotation and drawing on top of PDFs (which will hopefully map to existing markup/annotation standards and which is easily exported)
Hardware things I'm hoping for in the future
- a smaller device w/ a stylus (I'd love to see a basic cell phone w/ a Wacom stylus and e-ink)
- pressure-sensitive stylus (I'm still hoping that this is either a software limitation on the Kindle Scribe and that pressure-sensitivity will be added in a software update or something implemented in the Premium Pen and 64GB unit which will later be enabled by software)
- a larger device --- I _really_ want to see something which was letter or A4 (or an intersection of those two sizes --- it's a neat proportion which gets used for TeX documentation in PDF format sometimes)
