This is only true for the short term...I hope. If, as promised, the new firmware released in April adds the ability to annotate, highlight and possibly a dictionary then those important features that really bring the Irex in line with other units will not be usable without the stylus. So the stylus will be a much more integral part of the functionality and it will be frustrating not to be able to access it easily or to lose it because there is no slot for it in the unit. As much as I like the unit, no stylus slot was a VERY poor design decision.
