Great for quick notes and simple sketching. I hadn't used an e-ink pen tablet before, and chose the Nomad because I thought portability would be useful, and because it was slightly cheaper (so less pain if I didn't end up liking it). Turns out I *do* like it, but if I could have a do-over, I'd go with the Manta - it turns out the larger writing surface is more useful to me than portability. Having more of the UI readily available and not having to pan/zoom as much when drawing is more important on e-ink than on LCD tablets because of the slower refresh rate. Happily continuing to use the Nomad for now, but will be looking for an excuse to upgrade when I can.
