I don't have the stylus, so I can't comment on how it does notes. But there are many reviews on YouTube.

I have a Kobo Libra Color. I like the physical buttons to turn pages, and although the color is a little muted compared to a computer/phone, it's still nice for certain books.

It took me a while to warm up to e-readers, but I'm finding lots to like about them. Easier to carry around than a big book, and you don't have to hold the pages open when you read at the table.

The air is getting colder, but the bumblebees don't mind. 🍂

That's understandable, we're just used to it by now 😅

We don't have snow that entire time luckily! 😄 November and December are usually dry or rainy, but we get bursts of snow and ice that keep us on our toes. A big storm for us is 18"/45cm

That makes sense! We can get snow from November to March, though mostly in February.

Is that snow on your island?
