Jota Text Editor (free & no adverts, but there is a "pro version") on Boyue Likebook Mars. A €4 book stand (for cookery books?) for the Mars and a decent €14 inc shipping medium size BT keyboard that's best I've used. Not as laggy as trying to type notes into a Kindle or Kobo. Nearly as good as the 10" LCD tablet.
Basic editing, plain text in PC or Linux format paragraph/new-lines.
Auto-save if you exit / power off etc.

On desktop or laptop:
Wordstar / Neword / home made editor (1982 to 2002, in a Console Window from 1993), MS Office 2002-XP (2002 to 2014), LibreOffice Writer.

I'd tried also Wordperfect & MS Word for DOS, StarOffice, Wordpad, Open Office and others over the years.
I use KATE to organise text files (multitab), replaces Notepad++. Also Gnumeric for timelines and other spreadsheet stuff (previously Excel, then LO Calc which I use for "real" spreadsheets). I used a local copy (on the attic server) of MediaWiki for a while as an aid, but backups, editing and upgrades are too much of a chore. With actual Wikipedia someone else is creating/editing and maintaining.

I did have an Epson tablet / portable computer in 1980s with a small letterbox display and real keyboard. Storage and file transfer was an issue. So I used a desktop computer. First laptop in 1998.
