Also, if I markup a pdf on the Scribe the changes aren’t visible on other devices. This is daft, and not at all how I would expect it to work.

Note taking tools are rudimentary, but sufficient for what it’s designed for. This isn’t a replacement for dedicated eNote devices (at least not yet).
This is a complete fail for PDFs compared to every other eInk with a digitiser/stylue (except maybe the Sony Digital Paper as I think it only works via Windows/Mac Sony program, but it doesn't need the internet).
Unacceptable you have to use Internet.
Unacceptable it has to be sent to Amazon.
Unacceptable no option to mark up on the PDF.

A very badly designed walled garden. What's the point of using it to proof PDFs if they have to go to Amazon and can later only be viewed in an Amazon App?

The entire point of a 10″ approx size eink with Digitizer and stylus is PDFs. I was thinking of getting this for PDFs, but I'll wait until they replace the crazy workflow or Kobo has the same panel.
