I'm used to single taps responding way before I could "re-tap" an area.
In kobo you can also add a note to a bookmark, if you didn't realise.
I would definitely appreciate the line of text in the annotations page!!! It can be annoying figuring out what is what...especially when the "turn every % to 0%" is at play. And kobo would have room for that with the INSANE amount the give each annotation....with something like 4 per page with almost no information. |
A quick double-tap like you would do a double-click with your mouse. It would probably be a pain to do on the Kobo, but because the Sony is so much more responsive, it's very nice to use a double-tap. If you want to highlight lengthy passages, just do a quick double-tap at the starting word and drag to the end, click the pen icon and it's saved as a note. The process is quicker on the Sony, the Kobo seems to lag and draws the underscore line after the fact.
On my 350's 5" inch, 9 notes fit on one page and still includes the first line of text and the page number. Compared to 5 on the Kobo 6" screen, without any information most times to identify the note. You can also delete all notes at once or several... when you select delete, a checkbox appears before each note to tick off.

The Sonys have the same, plus you can scribble a note with your finger on one of the bookmarked pages as your note instead of using the keyboard, or circle a phrase or error to be corrected.
You can also take screenshots of the page on the Sony. I often end up putting my Kobo on my scanner and just scanning it to get a quick image instead of digging out my camera.
