After over a year I have to use it again right here give a positive evaluation (my former is here somewhere hidden in a sub-division). Well have a lot of the positives of the Hanvon N518 mentioned (and some negative things); but since I myself write books i will start to report something fundamental part of everyday life of Hanvon N 518 makes it possible to make handwritten notes to text. Who writes itself, knows how often you here & there again a thought / a formulation has, straight when you're on the road or maybe the notebook is the spirit for lack of battery ... In short: on the Hanvon I not only reading, can also work with it! Own manuscripts (for simplicity, as long as the still to work) saved as * .txt - Notes at any time! And later editing on your PC, there's rauszunehmen only the memory card. In addition, you can write an empty file on the PC: _________ some pages fill with underscores, save to the SD as * .txt or * .pdf: voila! Since you can take notes or even keep a diary (better than the built-memo function!). And the battery lasts a long time! By contrast, even netbooks or tablets look more old from (well, maybe not always). Another tip: the SD card should not be too large (4 GB range), on their structure, one should not somehow mess around (so leave it as delivered by Hanvon), and one should not necessarily them as disk "in between" for other files or want to use programs (danger of falling is greater). Ever Hanvon: very friendly people, excellent advice, extremely fast delivery: Class! Who gets the device at a reduced price makes determined nothing wrong: unlike new, Internet-based e-book readers are preserved with the N 518 to a certain extent his own creativity and independence in this profession. That`s it!
