6-inch E-Ink Notepad / Notebook
I currently have an old 6-inch kindle with a side-loaded app called TakeNote. My primary use case is making lists with the device. The kindle is showing it's age and while the app serves it's purpose it's not the best experience.
Is there a low-priced, 6-inch e-ink device that is more geared towards typing notes and making lists? I was looking at the Kobo Clara 2E but I can't find any specifics on if it supoorts a note taking independantly of being inside an e-book. While I do store ebooks on my kindle, that's not my primary use case. |

If you want to "upgrade" to handwriting, the only small note-capable device I know of is the MobiScribe Origin, which is 6.8". Most companies only make readers in the 6 and 7" range, and the smallest devices with writing capabilties start at 7.8". The Kobo Clara (6") and Libra (7") do not support handwriting. Only the Sage (8") and Elipsa (10.3") do.
For typing notes, you could certainly get your needs met with one of the Android-powered devices, such as the Boox Poke series, since Android has tons of notepad programs to choose from. |

Technically you can sketch/handwrite with a MS/Kobo pen on a Kobo Libra 2, (7″) but you can't edit later on the Kobo Libra 2. The earlier original Libra doesn't support a digitiser and pen. The Kobo Sage 8″ might be smallest with on device conversion of handwriting to text, equations, shapes and check boxes. Export docx or html ( inc freehand as images) or text only. |
