BUT: What I am mainly looking for is a device which would allow me to write my own long notes which could be saved on the PC i.e a device which would replace the old paper and pencil. I have the feeling that PRS-600 would not be ideal for that. Perhaps a digital pen would better suit my purposes…on the other hand, I would definitely like to read PDF’s and make notes to them and for that PRS-600 seems to be a very good option.
I was wondering what is the situation with the note-function? Is it possible to write (with stylus) notes and then transfer them to the computer for further processing? I know that IREX's models could handle this job but they are pretty expensive.
All suggestions are welcome! It is difficult to find out which devices allow for what kind of notes.  |
You *could* write a short story on the 600, but the refresh is very slow so you wouldn't be able to see what you're writing as you're writing it. You can export the notes, but I don't think you'd find that very useful - they're saved as vector drawings, not as text.
As to scribbling on PDFs, that's pretty much what the annotation feature is for. I bought mine to make portable editing on my novel possible, but I'll be using the 600 the same way I'd use a paper notebook - looking at it as I make changes on my computer.
