After using a Samsung tablet for note taking and reading for many years I was ready for a device more focused on just reading and writing. I debated between many eink options on the market and decided to try the manta and could not be happier. I was worried about the limited apps compared to come competitors but so far this device had done everything I've needed without needing to side load the apps I was planning on (still looking forward to trying that out at som3 point). Works great for reading NYT and National Geographic with the built in browser. So far the pen and tablet has held up well to my 2 year old daughter's aggressive 'coloring' (with a minor pen calibration required). Couldn't have asked for a better device to meet all of my needs (reading, magazines, sheet music, guitar tabs, and sketching)
