I have been lurking for a while and am so appreciative of the shared knowledge in this forum!
I requested and was given a Pocket Edge as a gift. It's proving to be a great tool for work and for entertainment.
I am in the healthcare field, and my job entails multiple roles; for each role I have weekly and monthly regional meetings. The PE has allowed me to consolidate all of my agendas and minutes and to better organize them.
While I have set up journals for each role in my job, I prefer the handwriting capabilities of MaplePaint on the tablet over the e-ink side. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find a way to easily incorpoate MaplePaint's files (.svg) into .doc files (unless a converter is used....and I haven't found one for the PE).
As an alternative, I'm using Draw & Share, which has similar writing capabilities, but saves to a .png file; which can be pasted right into my agendas & minutes. Since I like lined paper, I made my own in D&S and saved it to the gallery....now can open D&S, load a line image, and write on t for my notes.
I also use PE as a reader....downloaded and installed OverDrive Media console, and I link to my local public library and download new-release novels at no cost (can "sign" them out for 21 days). I also get best sellers from the Ohio Library Consortium using the OverDrive program. I used to make a trip to the library every couple of weeks....now I just add them to my reserve list and when they are ready, I get an e-mail and link to download. Great stuff!!!!
