Great for combining paper tablet and eReader!
4 Stars
Great for combining paper tablet and eReader!
I've only had the device for about 24 hrs at this point. It is a nice looking, sleek, light weight device. The reaction time for the pen is really good. It has capabilities to email your work but as far I can tell you can't sync it with any cloud storage. If it was any other paper tablet that didn't give you the ability to sync with OneDrive I would have given it 3 stars instead but you do get the Kindle eReader along with it which pushes it up to 4 stars overall. I do have a suggestion for Amazon regarding the eReader, please add the ability to create collections within collections. There are a lot of authors I follow that have stand alone books but also have several series. It would be nice to be able to sort the books by author and then series.
Thank you for your feedback
