Using above answers, but transfering them to smaller devices - is Sony PRS 350 worse with notetaking than Hanvon N518?
@Jmirko Do you know if Hanvon N518 use the same technology as N800 recommended by you?
Thanks in advance for all the answers.

Yes, as far as I know (and as I see from Hanvon's website), the N518 uses the same screen+stylus tech as the N800. This is very similar to wacom (used in the Samsung Galaxy Note as mentioned by rkw above). For writing, this is superior to Sony's infrared technology - it's more accurate and you don't need to worry about making unwanted marks if you accidentally touch the screen with your hand.
If you have decided that 5 inches is the right screen size for you, then the N518 is the best choice. If you are willing to go up to 6 inches (more usable in my opinion), then you can choose the N618. Some Onyx devices also offer an active matrix screen, such as the X60 which I will be selling in a few days.
