Does anyone use these?
I bit the bullet last week on a Boox Note Air 4c. It's bloody brilliant.
As someone who has lots of post-its kicking around with reminders, lists, and other stuff, as well as volunteering for a charity that requires me to minute meetings, it feels like it's removed my need for a pen and paper without removing my ability to write by hand. I have 2 notebooks - one for thoughts, another one for [photography] developing notes on different film/dev times. I also have a habit of writing annotations in books. This thing has replaced all of it, along with handwriting to text capability to transcribe notes into proper typed minutes. I'm also now using it to copy lyric sheets off the internet, then add the guitar chords by hand. I've even started a journal!
I've been terrible at using the calendar and notes function on my phone and both end up being useless as my organisation is so haphazard I can never find anything when I need it. I'm sure I could make it work, but the e-ink tablet just feels more intuitive, and I like actually writing on it.
Having a paper like experience so you can add drawings to your words is really useful for explanatory diagrams, or even just linking up things. You can even use it for sketching!
Anyway, I'm still excited by my new toy and wondered if anyone else had one, what their use case was for it, and whether it has [mostly] replaced paper for them?
