Calibre and the KFX Input and KFX Output plugins will become close friends, if you want to use the pen for something.
Of course, you can side load and read any Kindle format.
If you convert to re-flowable KFX, you can add handwritten notes.
Using Kindle Create, you can create fixed layout content from PDF by converting its KPF output with KFX Output plugin. Comics/manga will lack any defined panel view, and print replica will lack text objects and hyperlinks, but you will be able to make pen annotations on them.
And you should be able to create notebooks.
Pen annotations (handwritten notes, print replica handwritten notes, and notebooks) can be exported to FXL ePub files with the annotations converted to SVG objects using KFX input plugin to convert the associated nbk file.
You can also backup the ./notebooks folder and if you get a Scribe in the future you should be able to recover notebooks (by overwriting an existing notebook nbk file with one from your backup).
So not entirely useless.
I don't suppose you had the option of undoing the refund and removing the blacklist.

Wow, thank you so much for the detailed and helpful message. I'll try all of this.
And no, I called them back about it but that ship has sailed. I'm half-sure that there is someone who can whitelist it or have me pay the original amount but after two calls and talking to a supervisor I think I'm out of luck.
But not entirely, your message definitely improved crummy morning.
I hate to bother you but I’d like to know a bit more from your post.
“Using Kindle Create, you can create fixed layout content from PDF by converting its KPF output with KFX Output plugin. Comics/manga will lack any defined panel view, and print replica will lack text objects and hyperlinks, but you will be able to make pen annotations on them.”
Could you please say this a bit differently? I don’t know what fixed layout contents print replica or text objects means in this context.
But if I understand you correctly, I can still write on PDFs like a notebook if I find the relevant plugins and do all of this in calibre?
And when you say severely crippled, what is it that I will not be able to unless there’s a jailbreak someday? Or someone brilliant figures out a whitelisting?
Thank you again, people like yourself on the internet is a tonic for our times.
