Hello writers!
Does anyone write using an ereader?
Primarily, I mean writing drafts in cursive style but I'd like to hear from those who type onto an ereader too.

I write non-fiction short stories...
I do the first two drafts pencil on paper.
I used my ereader for copy-editing purposes. But as I've broken the screen on my old device, I'm excited by the potential to write on the ereader (I'm particularly considering Onyx Note Pro).

My work flow involves writing on the right hand side of a notebook, and keeping the notes that related to my writing on the left hand page. Many ereaders nowadays have the split screen function. I wonder if I can copy my method with an ereader...

I've seen many promotion type videos over the years of people writing on ereaders, but the fact that the videos show people writing gigantic letters has left me harbouring disbelief as to whether anyone actually does use an ereader this way.

Is the aforementioned practical?
I've got concerns about the user friendliness of the filing system, how notes are stored etc. And just using the device to write in general.

Can anyone enlighten me?
