My Samsung tablet replaced my dead netbook, it is perfectly fine for the occasional computing needs I had during travel, that I originally bought the netbook for.

I get to watch hardware accelerated videos, that the Linux distros on the netbook never managed to after Flash was gone never managed to get VAPI working.

I get to play games, designed for Android, without needing to translate Windows/DirectX on the go, because studios can't be bothered to port Android/NDK into GNU/Linux.

I get to read ebooks and take notes with the pen.

The detachable keyboard is good enough for short sessions of writing documents, sheets, travel planing, playing with shader code, python and C# development snippets on the go.




Care to share your preferred e book reader application that supports notes?


My ebook reader app is Moon+ Reader.

You misunderstood the notes part, it is in general, not tied to ebooks.

I use mostly Google Keep.


Ah thanks anyway! I’d be after a pdf note taker that allows me to scribble on pages then later review scribbles :)
