Not unless they abandon conversion of PDFs and allow native annotation without any connection to Amazon.
I got caught out by the DXG, which was for education, even though I waited for a sale after the PW3 was out and got it half price from Amazon US with free shipping. The DXG is the worst ereader I have or have had.

I was seriously considering the Scribe but it's too locked into Amazon for PDF annotation and seems poorer than Sage or Elipsa for notes. The PDF support of Scribe seems poorer than reMarkable, Elipsa, or any 10″ eink because it's tied to Internet and Amazon.

The conversion to fixed layout KFX is a deliberate more complex choice to lock documents and users into Amazon. That seems unsuitable for education too in many countries.
