I too made the jump and after going back and forth for weeks in my mind between the Scribe and the Elipsa 2E, a writing test on both at a friend’s house made me go for the Scribe. I was waiting for Prime days in the summer but a short window of a few days with a good price last week on the 16GB Scribe did the trick.
I am so far very happy with the Scribe. I liked both the Scribe and the Elipsa 2E, but the Scribe is more valuable to me because the writing experience suits my writing style much better. Also, in the last years, I have migrated from my laptop (using it less and less and a keeping it now as a backup solution) to mainly working on my ipad. So the ability to email my books and not going through Calibre is a huge plus (I have a dropbox account but it’s a basic one and I do not want to pay for a larger one as I already pay a lot for my main Cloud service). I also do not care anymore about the fonts, the CSS style etc. I just read and take notes.
I am not using a lot of PDF but my epubs are mainly non fiction and I often make tons of notes. I prefer the sticky note system as writing directly on the page makes it completely illegible with my writing and quite disorganised.
Using my ipad for everything (working and reading) was unproblematic except for the battery. I am now working on the ipad and reading on the Scribe and that works very well. Ideally, my logi keys-to-go would also connect with the Scribe but oh well. Obviously I now have more weight to carry around in my pack but it’s worth it imho. I may even be able to lose the portable battery in which case the total weight (ipad+scribe+logi) would amount to about the same as before.
