This is daft, and not at all how I would expect it to work.

It seems to me this makes the device quite limited compared to the Elipsa and Sage, on which you can just save and load files from Dropbox (the same is true of pdf expert on an iPad). I have always felt that Kindle software was inadequate and something of a walled field (certainly not a walled garden). I've tried ReMarkable, Elipsa and Boox, but for marking up pdf's I always go back to the iPad with its colors, speed and reliability. For reading, I like the Elipsa and Sage, though it looks like the Scribe is also good for reading -- though I wouldn't want to do without the ability to upload books and documents I have in Dropbox, something I can easily do on the Elipsa/Sage.
It's worth noting that writing on pdf's on the Elipsa and pdf expert are visible on any pdf app and also that bookmarks made on pdf expert are also preserved over most apps as chapter headings.
