Well, if they manage to make the workflow transparent, so one can mark up a pdf on the Scribe and then download it again as a pdf, that would make the Scribe much more useful. It does do a very good job when one writes on the screen with the pencil -- obviously better than an iPad in terms of smoothness etc. I guess in one respect the Scribe is a bit like the iPad: the hardware is much better than the firmware. I also have an Elipsa, but writing with the Kobo pen (which needs a battery) is not as smooth or easy as on the Scribe. Also, of course, the Elipsa has a lower resolution and only a blue background light, and so its screen is not as good as the Scribe's. One final thing: it would be very useful if Amazon would allow one to download the marked-up pdf to a cloud account of some sort that is also accessible from a computer (e.g. Dropbox).
