| 1419758 | 2016-04-29 22:06:00 | E-Readers are everywhere nowadays, but I am wondering if the opposite exists - eg: e-writers? Do e-ink (or other non-backlit) devices exist for note-taking, be it with onscreen keyboard, stylus, or inbuilt keyboard? Is it possible to use e-readers like the Kindle etc for such purposes? |

Half a second to each letter when you're typing would see a lot of e-ink screens trying another task they are not suited for - emulating a Frisbee. Sorry about that. |

There are also others like www.acecad.com.tw which seem to combine a real paper pad and some kind of digitiser. It seems the concept is not entirely new. The IBM CrossPad is a similar device from 1997! (en.wikipedia.org) I think I'll just stick to paper... |

| 1419762 | 2016-05-01 08:10:00 | I have a Kindle with a keyboard. I thought it might be handy to enter things for later recall but it was not worth the effort. Too slow to type words and a little difficult to obtain apps to enable typing notes rather than using the provided notes/memo style of page. | user (1404) | ||
