The very first thing I learned how to do was to totally turn off the stylus tools for note taking. Even removed the little access-circle from the screen.
The Scribe IMHO is the best Kindle ever for reading. Is there a market for only reading on a Scribe? I would bet it isn't limited to me alone. I'd also bet if they sold one without writing ability (different name probably) for $80 less or so it would be a runaway seller.
Hmmmmm, maybe the way to go would be to take a Scribe, make the screen read only (with text selection as always) add a couple buttons and, well, call it the Oasis 3?

I played with the note thing for maybe a minute just to see what it was. I bought this to read with. I want to read, not turn pages. Yeah, I know, but I only have to do barely over half as much page turning now. And if STUPID Amazon had included the buttons like on the Oasis it would be even better suited for reading. And yes, I'd definitely have bought a less expensive read only device, especially if it had page turning buttons as it should. I don't really pay full attention to all the technical talk regarding systems and programming and anything else writing/noting related, just what applies to reading, cases, etc. and for that, other than the MAJOR FAILURE of excluding buttons, it is a winner.
Oh, and don't forget how good the Fintie cases are.
