It looks like there's also an "Amazon Fire Max 11" that must have only come out a short time ago: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B1VQ1ZQY

Maybe one of those would work for you?

That was a quiet launch!

Interesting device: supports Fingerprint ID & Stylus Pen (not included at $229 USD base price). It does on-device handwriting to text. Display is only 212 ppi however. Aluminum case (resembling iPad of course), only a shade heavier than Fire HD 10.

The stylus pen is pressure sensitive and has tilt support (uses AAAA battery 'good for up to 6 months').

Bundled with keyboard/trackpad/stylus is $329 USD. The keyboard is powered from the Fire.

I wonder if they are planning to add Notebook functionality (like Scribe). But aspect ratio is 5:3 instead of 4:3 so it would need to letterbox Notebooks a bit to fit (or more likely use it for toolbar).

I will keep an eye on Prime Day deals for this. I have several devices I can trade in for 20% plus gift card.
