I had similar doubts, but I’ve been using it daily for months. I’ve barely touched a piece of paper since!

I love the syncing, it’s brilliant that I can access any of my notes on any of my devices anytime. I actually prefer writing on it compared to a notebook, the fact it’s so rigid makes it easy to write on and no smudging ink with my left hand. I can read my Uni PDFs, insert a page into it, write on it, move it around the document, then export those pages to a new file. I’m a bit of a perfectionist so love how easy it is to fix mistakes, being able to draw perfectly straight lines is brilliant. And I really appreciate how distraction free it is, all I can do is read and take notes on it. The battery life is great and it’s so thin and light. The only negatives for me is that it’s a bit slow with graphic intensive PDFs, I wish there was a dictionary like Kindle, and it can be a bit hard to read in low light compared to paper. None of this ruins the experience for me though.

I got a third party case on Amazon and didn’t bother with the keyboard. I have a laptop for typing!
