Considering buying this for my husband.
I know the note taking function would be useful.

My primary reason is to help ease his work tasks. He works outside at construction sites so typical office equipment isn’t readily available.

Currently, he uses graphing paper to sketch out his work diagrams. He then scans the sheets with his phone, emails to corporate account, saves to his personal drive to upload to work program.

I know that’s a lot but IT policy prohibits plugging anything to corporate devices.

Would I be able to save him a step or 2 with this purchase?

TIA

I recently just got mine, was unsure because of some of the limitations that the reviews highlight, but I managed to get a deal off eBay so snapped it up with the market plus.

I did some of the recommended setup, creating a folder for “focus” items for work related projects, set up a subscription to google drive and the device so I can shoot through to cloud storage.

Productivity wise - I love it. Literally write down notes on the fly, get a better checklist of things to do, my hand doesn’t get all hot and uncomfortable while writing, and I’m not losing focus due to pop up notifications.

Also grabbed a couple of epub articles off the web, including a few books, a couple of graphic novels and Time magazine to test out - it’s fine. Obviously everything is black and white, but there’s no loss of detail for me.
