This looks amazing. If you don't mind, I have a couple questions...

- I know you're not committing to certain things at this time, but can you confirm yet that a subscription fee will NOT be required for full usage? Ie. If I want to store locally or on Dropbox or Google Drive would something like that be possible? I hesitate to preorder without knowing how your full pricing model might be structured.

- Is the stylus unique to the device, or will any old stylus work? Also, will it need to be charged separately?

- Will there be the possibility of low frame rate animations? I could see that being super useful for diagrams.

- Can you share any insights into the current state of eInk technology with regards to color displays? Is it looking like something that might be commercially viable in the next 5 years? 10?

- As you acknowledge, this tech will likely be copied pretty quickly. How do you build a business moat around that?

Awesome stuff and excited to see how this turns out.
