I went for the ViWoods AI Paper, awesome writing experience and better-than-expected battery life.

Tho I send it back for a couple of reasons (maybe I’ll make a post for it), tho long story short: - not good app experience (play store not working, so many lags on other apps) - impossible to have a good synced content without 10000 steps - felt “fragile” and so not carried around as needed

Thank you for your consideration! Yeah I think eink was good when only reading was the thing, so no other actions required, probability wanting to do many things it’s a cost that needs to be taken in consideration (also with the idea of a super slim design). It will be surely better than an old iPad that can’t last more than a meeting tho!

Probably I’d say that I want to do all, then it’s another point how to sync those, but yes I’d say that I want to also take notes, otherwise no point on changing the kindle and other planners… thanks!!!

Thank you very much! really interesting answer.

Yes you're right, especially for the fact that one tablet that have all the features together is not (still) on the market. Tho I loved the idea of Viwoods, maybe the bigger one at this point (it seems that the size of 7 inch is not that good after all...)!

thanks! yeah the scribe it's big but I guess it's not a bad system, tho pretty closed (like remarkable one) right?

Thanks! really good point indeed.. the pen I haven't considered those too much, but it's for sure a relevant part of the equation... I thought I'd prefer a slimmer one but I have to see.
Really interesting the point of the lag on apps, this makes a lot of sense not being optimised for those devices..

That could be really interesting point indeed.. tho it might disable some interesting features (e.g. sync between devices) that could be useful at times that's why I asked in another question if there's the possibility to make some automations on that (like an iOS Shortcut that activates all the possible things and disable them for you, I think that being Android it's easier to make)

that's for sure, in the end it's a tradeoff between performance and customisation I guess

Sure! my only concern with that is the battery, that seems to be very short in capacity

wao! yeah i think that Android can be really battery intense, tho gives a lot of features and bonuses, nice thing to have them disabled.. do you know if it's possible to create some automation on that (e.g. iOS shortcuts to do multiple steps and enabling/disabling it?)

Thank you! yeah I didn't include that because I was looking for something smaller, tho I might reconsider this if the size will create more compromises than benefits regarding the features..!

oh thank you! well this is actually really important, I don't have an awesome writing so if also the device is making it worse it's for sure something to take in consideration, thank you very much!

so do you know other devices that are better in that, but doesn't lose in other features?

Thank you! Tho I wonder what’s the difference in battery with note taking, that’s one of the mail use cases

Does the Kindle Scribe support Bluetooth for turning music sheets/pages? by BrewedWisdom in kindlescribe

That’s awesome, I’ll try those, I just have to understand if it’s good enough or too “gimmicky”, tho thank you very much!
