Are you aware that there are ereaders designed specifically for writing? Personally, I'm not sure whether they are gimmicks or not - it's one of the reasons I'm asking.
You may have noticed that I write by hand [because I said so above] and this does mean it's slow for me to produce things [which is true of writing in any case]... however, I find the slower more meditative process of hand writing better for tapping into creativity and cutting out the garbage that comes when one can type faster than one can think...
Well, in short, it works for me, and from that point of view it's
more efficient. People were writing by hand for over a thousand years after all. It worked v.well.
Why an e-reader? Because I can backup all my writing and not lose it; the usual, 'won't have to carry half a dozen different note pads'. I could also potentially use the hand writing to ascii function which would cut out a step in my process. Basically, use technology to aid what I already do.
But your question is a tangent anyway... back to mine. Who wants to bite?
