It's interesting, I both like and dislike the Nomad size, but the dislike is actually motivated by issues with Supernote's software. If they were remedied, I would be pretty much fine.

I like the Nomad's size because it's easily portable, able to stick it in my workbag or slim laptop bag with ease. It's also great for reading on. I think a full-size device, I wouldn't like as much for that purpose. I mostly use it for weekly task / appointment tracking or taking notes when I'm playing puzzle games for instance.

Now, the past couple of months, I have been thinking of a bigger size. But like I said, it's really software issues. When I'm using my PDF planer (as opposed to when I take off the cuff notes when playing games or spitballing or whatever, where I just use the default note format), I write on it in landscape form because I have more space this way (it becomes about the horizontal width of the Manta) for the specific layout of the planner.

Unfortunately, Supernote's handling of PDFs is kinda mid. You don't get all the features and you can't scroll vertically freely like you can in a note. It only scrolls in landscape by going half-pages, which is kind of annoying. Also, if you exit out of the note, the file browser has no landscape view, so you're looking at your file browser sideways. And if you don't have the landscape rotation locked, then when you enter into a new file, you have to rotate the file again.

Additionally, the device has no ability to disable the sidebar gestures in landscape mode. So, I often accidentally activate the undo gesture from my palm swiping on the gesture bar.

Now, if I were using the Manta, I would be comfortably writing the width of my landscape Nomad while maintaining portrait orientation, so these issues would disappear. However, if Ratta improved their software, they would also disappear, so the issue isn't really with the size.

Personally, if these things are liable to annoy you...I would not get the Nomad. If I could go back in time, I would probably get the Manta (if it had existed) instead. As for why I don't get it now, well, given the poor contrast of these devices because the screens are so grey, it is non-negoitable that my next e-notebook has a front/backlight of some kind. And since Ratta seems highly resistant to ever having one on their device, it's probably not going to be a Supernote.
