Awesome
Super fast easy to write notes and can be used as a move book store although I personally prefer physical books

Very nice device, better than expected
Absolutely love this thing. I have replaced pretty much every form of notepad with this. I take notes on it, I am learning calligraphy on it, the writing experience on it is very nice. Great visibility in heavy light. Great quality text. Battery that lasts for a long time. The only complaint I have is that the accuracy right around the outermost edges is off. If you try to write too close to any edge, you'll see that the ink doesn't line up with the pen quite right - hence the lack of a star. Also of note - the tips to the stylus are consumable. They do wear out, and rather quickly if you write on it a lot. Not a big deal, they aren't expensive or difficult to change, just something to be aware of, and yes worth it. I would definitely buy again, have recommended it to many, and would (and will) likely buy another one.
