I have a Modbook, which has a tablet screen. Works great for skim with Ink pasting captured text directly into note panes.
In freehand, each stroke is a different object, so it's not too fluid. Writing in cursive works Ok for having whole words as objects. But otherwise, you need to shift/click to group all the letters (or parts of letters) Still, I LOVE note-taking and highlighting with the tablet screen. Highly recommend it!
