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.

Buttons would have ruined it for me, at least if they were like Oasis'.
I got an Oasis (renewed) a few months ago, and just could not get comfortable using it.
Sure, one does not
have to use the buttons, but then it's awkward to work around them to use tap or swipe because there's nowhere to keep the thumb without accidentally pressing them. And thumb has to be glued to a single location on the grip side, even if a better balance point is just a bit lower. It's almost impossible to operate the buttons if the screen is pointing down (e.g. when reclining). Switching hands involves a tenuous juggle instead of a smooth transfer.
So I was more than happy to trade it in for Scribe.
I haven't started shopping for cases. I haven't gotten one for any of my Kindles since my Voyage. I might need something just to park the Pen more securely. But I'm concerned about adding weight and bulk, and the hassle of returning if I am not lucky enough to pick one that I'll like.
