Who actually takes notes on an Elipsa / Sage?

Tried an Elipsa when it first came out, had issues, and returned it.

I own a Sage for my primary ereader. And the past week or so, tried to use it as a note-taking device to see if I could have one device that can help two different ways. It's an unfair comparison, as I use a ReMarkable 2 as a note taker, but I was hoping the Sage might be somewhat functional for me in a pinch.

After about a week of use, I wanted to see if anyone actually takes notes with these devices?! Especially the Sage, as it's currently what I'm trying to use. What I've experienced:
  • Terrible writing latency in both the basic and advanced notebooks
  • Terrible handwiritng to text conversion
  • Unresponsive screen, resulting in a six quadrant refresh after about five seconds
  • Battery life in the couple of hours

Did Kobo ever test note taking at all here? Or is it simply a feature of it's here... but the device shouldn't be used that way. It's certainly indicated that note taking is something possible with the Sage according to the product page, but I don't see how anyone would think it a horrible experience.

I was really hoping the advanced notebook functionality would be better, as some of the features seem pretty nifty. If you are someone who does use the advanced notebook feature, can you share any tips to not only make it bearable but somewhat useful?
