Oddly enough, that is exactly what they currently do. The issue is that the devices they use are no longer being manufactured so anytime a new device is released, one or more is purchased for testing to see if it will work as a replacement device. In the case of the Scribe, finding that you needed to send a PDF file to Amazon and having it stored Ghod alone knows where (don't ask Amazon.ca since all a request for that information got back was a publicity blurb about how secure their AWS cloud is with no information about exactly where the data is stored) to be able to use it on a Scribe with decent annotation support. Never mind being unable to check the PDF back into the corporate library with the annotations which on it's own was a Danny Deever moment.
Other items were the lack of handwriting recognition which the test users were not happy about and the lack of protection for documents on the device itself. If you lose the device, you want whomever finds it to have to do some work.
