The stylus is Wacom EMR, w/ very low latency, just no pressure input --- I've used systems w/ no pressure input in the past (NCR-3125 w/ early-generation Wacom EMR (the same as "Penabled" for Tablet PCs) and Fujitsu Stylistic 2300 w/ Finepoint) -- it's perfectly workable for annotation, on/off drawing, and non-modulated handwriting. It's not something which one would choose to creatively draw or paint on (I'd always defer drawing until I was at home to use my Wacom ArtZ on my NeXT Cube), but it's not being marketed for creative work beyond note-taking/journaling.
The information posted came from an industry insider whose information has thus far been quite reliable.
Which seems more likely?
- Amazon worked up a complete graphical toolkit to support annotation and interactivity w/ a pointing device
- Amazon stripped a bunch of stuff out of an OS which they were already using which already has support for annotation and interactivity w/ a pointing device and ported their reading application from a simpler OS and added interactive annotation to it
