Or should I say offal. I had reason today to actually USE text. I was looking at a notebook on my phone with the app, and I thought of a todo item to add to it. So I typed it in.

Later, on the tablet, I tried moving that text up a little. No go. So I just wrote it where I wanted. Then I deleted the text. I thought, "Okay, I'll also remove all those blank lines that positioned the text close to where I wanted." When I did that, half of the handwriting rose up over the other half and clear off the page. Undo? No go.

To get the page back, I went to my other tablet--not connected to the wifi, copied the original notebook, connected and synced, then rewrote my todo item. Sheez.

Lesson to myself: NEVER mix text and handwriting. That's useful, right?

The way handwriting is “linked” to the text needs a little getting used to, since manipulating the text also changes the handwritten content. Think of the text feature like a typewriter with thick margins and not a word processor or something where you can have text boxes and move it anywhere
