Hi everyone. Looking to possibly buy one from shopereaders.com although the difference of 200 USD compared to Sony's site is holding me back right now.

Apart from reading technical PDFs my main purpose of this is to write notes and draw simple diagrams. I previously owned the Note 8 (recently left on a plane) and found it quite responsive but the screen was a little slippery. I imagine the feel is better on the SDP but response is somewhat lacking. Is it something you get used to? What are peoples experiences with the writing?

Oh, and how does it compare to the Onyx Boox M96? A smaller device at 9.7" but with some interesting reflow options and certainly cheaper and easier to get in the UK but wondering if it would be enough for my needs. Perhaps I should ask or check a more relevant thread but comparisons are welcome.

I would probably go with the one that provides the best writing experience.

Thanks,
Phil
