[Cootey]

I take notes now on my Libra Colour, but I have an Elipsa 1 that I bought when they were first released. I took copious notes with it, but it was always sluggish. I tended to write faster than the Elipsa could keep up with. Matters became worse after the Elipsa 2E firmware updates. The first 2E update was great since it expanded the available notebook templates for my Elipsa 1, but later updates seemed to slow the Elipsa 1 down. Hanging, crashing, and sluggish writing caused me to eventually stop using the Elipsa 1 for note taking.

The Kobo will pale in comparison to the Nebo app running on a tablet. The beefier CPU and GPU will run circles around the Kobo. The trade-off you make for a slow note taking experience is extended battery life compared to tablets and the convenience of having a note taking app built into your ereader. I also like to write occasional notes in the margins of books I’m reading, even though I know that those notes can’t be exported. I try to jot down notes only in purchased books since Kobo syncs them to their cloud.

I never wrote on a Sage, but note taking with my Libra Colour is so much more enjoyable than on my Elipsa 1 because it has a faster processor.
