Notepad

Even though no notepad exists from the kobo firmware, I thought of a way we can easily create a workaround

1 - What we first need to do is create a dummy epub book called, whatelse? Notepad with only a few key words like ... Grocerylist Notes Thoughts Ideas etc... whatever you want.

2 - Then just highlight the text and create a note under the selected word.

I know it's a few extra keystrokes than a simple notepad app in the beta features but I think it should work albeit a little clunky it should partially satisfy the notepad need.

We could place a sample epub book here for people to use.

Actually just create a txt file in notepad and convert it to epub in calibre.

I've attached an example notepad epub file. Notepad.epub

Any thoughts?

Well, I know the Kindle has a KUAL extension for Leafpad, which is just as easy to use as writing notes, but saves to individual text files which can also be exported unlike book notes.

I am sure someone must have made a text editor for the Kobo as well.

This is just something quick so the user doesn't have to mess around with firmware installing third party software and possibly bricking your kobo. This is safe and easy.
