I would characterize it as a Kindle tablet which runs the Fire OS to launch only the Kindle app.
I've always done fine w/ handwriting recognition, and have used pretty much everything from Go Corp.'s PenPoint through Newton, and Windows Tablet PC, and Apple's Calligrapher on Mac OS X, as well as the various stand-alone apps.
Agree, Nebo.app is excellent.
As noted above, the lack of pressure-sensitivity is a consequence of the layers of the touch screen, digitizer, and e-ink --- we'll have to see how it plays out in terms of function and in the marketplace --- I'll be very pleased if the stylus works w/ my other current-generation Wacom EMR devices (which have 4,096 levels of pressure input) whether it has pressure-input on them or no. Possibilities would seem to be:
- Kindle Scribe digitizer lacks pressure input, accepts any current-generation Wacom EMR stylus, but w/o pressure
- Kindle Scribe digitizer and stylus lack pressure input, Kindle Scribe stylus when used on other Wacom EMR devices tracks, but when touched to the screen doesn't provide pressure information
- Kindle Scribe digitizer and stylus are a different sort of hardware and there is no compatibility
We'll see which it is, and whether or no that changes w/ future iterations (if any).
