@Quoth - I don't mind app or cloud versions of Word, or on/offline gDocs, as my writing only requires basic formatting. I'm fortunate that way. But I'll look into this Lo Writer ? I'm hesitant to use Linux, because (1) I don't know anything about it, and (2) using a command line for everything really doesn't appeal.

Besides, how do you use Linux programs on an e-tablet?

Thanks
Keep using what works is my advice. LibreOffice Writer is available for Windows, too, if that's what you're using. It happens to be my main program for writing, as I'm using Linux, too, but I don't think that there's much to gain by switching to it if you don't use any advanced functions.

Linux is great, but if your setup ain't broke, don't fix it.

As for writing on the Boox that's an interesting question. I have a Nova 3 (a tad too small), and would love to use it for writing, but don't have the extra funds to invest in a bluetooth keyboard at the moment, so I can't comment on it.

There are some videos on youtube with people doing just that. Have you tried searching for similar stuff for the Likebooks?
