I find an ascii text editor the way to go with e-ink. I use an app called Quickedit on an Onyx. It is the only free app I know that allows multiple tabbed files. I write and proof texts within it (proofing can also be done with epubs, but only for highlighting and adding notes, which I do in final stages). The tabbed files allows me to copy and paste between files easily. The disadvantage is the Onyx touch screen not being as sensitive as I would like. Also the stock keyboard lacks arrow navigation keys. I suppose I could make one. The old Nook Simple Touch was better in both respects.
If I use a BT keyboard, I go with some form of VIM. It is designed to work without having to touch the screen or need any type of pointer device. The controls are a learning curve, but not that hard, and very powerful.
I don't find that e-ink works well with complex software like full blown word processors. E-ink works well as part of the process, particularly for proofing, which can be done while laying on the sofa or playing with a cat.
