No, Supernote is not an "All-in-one" tablet computer and isn't intended for everyone. Its design focuses on writing and reading to stimulate creative thinking, and nothing more. We suggest considering the iPad as an alternative.

Because Supernote's long-term value is superior to others.

In order to achieve an optimal handwriting experience, a compromise is necessary. Unlike other tablets, Supernote avoids adding frontlight due to its slim pen nib design. Supernote's pens feature an super-fine 0.7 mm (diameter) nib, and incorporating frontlight (light plate layer) would result in a thicker device, causing the nib to feel more distant from the screen during writing. This decision not only enhances the writing experience, but also prolongs battery life, allowing for increased productivity between charging sessions.

This involves trade-offs against the optimal handwriting experience. Sadly, we are not taking the plunge into color ink technology until it is further developed since the present color ink screen has low reflectivity which causes a dim display, poor color differentiation, and the need for frontlight, which also has an effect on the handwriting experience. For the optimum handwriting experience, we must make a compromise.

Supernote Nomad, Manta, A5 X and A6 X currently support Note (.note), PDF, EPUB, Word, Text (.txt), PNG, JPG, WebP, CBZ, FB2 and XPS, and integrate with Kindle app which supports MOBI and other formats.

You have the option to choose left-hand mode. The device's UI accommodates left-handed users with adjustable toolbar positions. Gesture controls can be turned off to avoid accidental page-turns while writing.
