I do not write very much when reading books, so I like toolbar hidden to reduce clutter.

It would be better if a toolbar appeared whenever editing active canvas or expanded margin is open (as it does when adding handwritten notes), and hopefully an update will provide this feature, but in the meantime this lets me use the newer active canvas and expanded margin features when I want to.
Great tip. You may have just earned €87.13 for Amazon. Or more likely some offbrand pen with a button that works. I'm actually judging worth of it right now. I went with standard one, and never regretted it until now. I don't annotate much in fixed page books, but when I do, constantly opening and closing toolbar is a true annoyance, since I'm used to tapping the screen instead of swiping it to turn pages.
