  1. I totally agree! That’s why I always keep a stylus handy with my iPad and use the Penultimate app. You create and arrange notebooks to keep your scribbles and now that it’s been acquired by Evernote, all of your Penultimate notes sync so you can always access them. If your handwriting is reasonably good your text will even show up in your Evernote search results. You get all the benefits of pen and paper, plus a whole lot of digital age bonuses!
