I see... I was referring to annotations entered as text. Can't you do
annotations on those devices like you do in a typical PDF reader,
Acrobat or Okular style, using an on-screen keyboard or a physical
keyboard? It's those kinds of annotations I was referring to, the ones
that are stored as metadata in the PDF.

As for the stylus notes, I think I would find them useful especially for
proof reading. But very often what I need is just to put text. In Org I
use Org-noter + pdf-tools a lot.
