Battery life is good, I use it with the wifi off and only had to charge it once, and I read a full book on it.
I haven't played with the handwriting recognition yet, let me take a look and I'll report back.

I bought a Mobiscribe recently, for the same reasons. It's an eReader with an eink display, but it's an Android tablet. I installed F-Droid, and then NextCloud (to access my ebooks) and Librera Reader. I also use it for listening to podcasts (via Bluetooth, since it's an Android tablet) and taking notes with the stylus.
This is amazing advice! Saving it for when I have a kid.
Staying true to the centuries-old library concept, only one patron at a time can rent a digital copy of a physical book for a limited period.
So sad that we solved the problem of knowledge scarcity, and because of greed we need to add it back artificially.
There's was a scanner app that I loved, for Android. Turned into a subscription, even though most people use it less than once a month and even though the app was basically complete and never got updates.
There's a big conflict of interest in dating apps: if you're successful you stop using the app, and of course the company doesn't want that.
Yeah, I want to read it again! Maybe when I'm retired! 🙂
Gödel, Escher, Bach. I was only able to read the whole thing because I was in a ship for a month without TV or internet.
No one is suggesting that the transition would happen overnight... It would be just like any other job that became obsolete in the past, it would gradually phase out.
No, but you can just take B12 supplements, the same ones that are given to cattle.
"poorly planned vegan diets that do not replace the critical nutrients found in meat, can lead to serious micronutrient deficiencies." (from the article)
Yeah, switching your diet to anything has that risk, obviously. You need to understand what you eat.
And your daily life is already supplemented with pills, the only difference is they're given to the animals you eat. Cattle is given B12 because they don't graze and don't have access to enough cobalt.
Ok, I played with it and it seems like the recognition only works in the "Notes" app. It doesn't work as a general text input for applications.
It works pretty well, though. You select the text with the pen by circling it, and then you can copy it to the clipboard or replace the drawing with the actual text.
