in Graphite, w/ a 3rd-party (Cobak) case which was on sale. Not that wild about the case (debating on getting an "origami" case off eBay which is far more affordable than the equivalent Amazon listing.

Sans case it is remarkably lighter than my original. The case is ~260grams and brings the heft back to something like the original. (If someone has a recommendation for a case which is: lightweight, easy in/out, subdued appearance w/ minimal branding, I'd be interested in recommendations.)

Am I the only person who doesn't like the new pen? Swapped it to my O.G. Scribe --- hopefully whoever ends up w/ it won't mind the grippy/rubbery eraser --- it being a featureless cylinder save for the button (and Kindle logo which is high up and visible, not palpable) is annoying as well.

The UI really needs an option where the colours which are on the device are described by appearance and are re-mapped on export to match the visual appearance --- I'd use the "red", since it looks brown if it were labeled thus....

Performance is quite good, still downloading new books (which burned through a bit of battery), the new UI is okay, haven't yet decided on if I'll be doing one of the cloud integrations or no --- really missing:

If it had a local copy of OneNote, that I would turn on/run.

Haven't sideloaded any PDFs (apparently one has to convert them to get colour?), but have read an illustrated book (one which wouldn't load on the older device) and it makes having comics in my Kindle library worthwhile (and annoying that a couple are not identified as such).

Still waiting for all the covers to load, kind of annoying that that is still on-going (it arrived ~3PM yesterday).
