$500... that was still of interest. Until I saw that the pen is not included in the price. And then the price of the pens -$170 for the version with an eraser (how could you use it without!?). I'm always adding a leather case to my devices too, and this didn't disappoint either - I'll never think my Kindle leather cases as expensive again.

If ordered, a cool $956 delivered. So this isn't happening, what a rip off those extras etc are for us down under. (Switching to US Store: USD $570 = AUD $776, maybe add 4-5% sales tax?).

PS agree completely about the date confusion. They should simply use 12-Oct-2021 or Oct-12-2021 to make it truly readable by as many as possible, as much as I like YYYYMMDD.

Edit: An Intuos Pro pen is $100 AUD, by comparison. This has tilt and pressure, with eraser and extra buttons, and comes with a number of nibs - https://www.kayellaustralia.com.au/product/2681-wacom-intuos...

I bought the device via pre-order and didn't order the Marker Plus at that time (mistake). However there is a soft-erase tool that works pretty well. Also, the Staedtler Noris Digital Jumbo, which can be typically had for around 40usd does have an eraser and I can verify it works well.
> how could you use it without

just don’t make mistakes

I very much liked your response. :)
Either rM pen also supports tilt and pressure. Still fairly expensive though
