I guess it's their version of the Remarkable and other note taking devices.

The link in Engadget's article doesn't work for me but I'm sure there'll be a lot more articles soon.
Being a Kindle it's sure to have better e-book support than the Remarkable. (Even while not including epubs.) I pre-ordered one of those but cancelled when I saw the ereading reviews and lack of capability there. Remarkable really dropped the ball there.

Some places say $399 some say $339. Not sure which is correct or if both are. There's supposed to be an upgraded stylus option available, so that could be the difference.
