I am considering buying a Note 10.1 for the s pen feature, but want to ask users here if it will work well for my work flow.
In my work, I review and edit lots of manuscripts. These are either in Word (which is convertible to PDF) or in PDF format. I typically print the documents (usually about 25-50 pages) and mark them up with a pen. I then hand my handwritten notes on the manuscript to the intended person or use them to edit the document myself in word (if I am marking up my own document.)
I would really love a tablet which could replace pen and paper both for reading and for marking up documents and saving the PDFs marked up back to PDF to share and archive. Is the Galaxy Note 10.1 for me? Is it comfortable enough for these purposes? What software would I be using to read / markup PDFs that are 25-50 pages long?
I have an iPad 2 which, although well loved, has failed to replace paper. 1) I don't enjoy reading PDFs on it sufficiently. I guess that is because I own a pre-"retina" model and would be solved by a newer high-resolution device and 2) marking up PDFs is almost worthless on the ipad because of lack of a good stylus and appropriate software.
Would the 10.1 be a good purchase for me? Other there other devices I should consider for reading / marking up PDFs?
Thanks.
