I've bought another stylus, which makes the writing a lot more comfortable, but the problem is mostly that, when you write too finely, after refresh the letters will become slightly less clear than when you first put them down; also, creating a new page using the 'notes' tool is slow at best.
If you create empty PDFs to write on (say, 70p of white), and then browse through them and write, icw a good stylus, I'd say it would be adequate, but no more than that. If I write on paper, and concentrate even slightly on neat writing, I can still write about 2x as fast as on my iliad.

That said, i'm not even half as negative about the pdf reading+annotating than my predecessors in this thread, though I usually don't write much more than 2-3 lines worth of commentary around any given page of text.
