well, the pomera disappointed me.
kingjim, the maker, never said they were portable e-ink typewriters. they say they are digital memos. like palm back in the days. people point to them as cheaper alternatives to the freewriter traveler. but that's honestly a mistake.
my biggest complaint was the keyboard.
imagine writing your essays or your book on that mini-keyboard! i had so much trouble pressing on individual keys on that keyboard. i also had issues with reading the e-ink screen at night. but the keyboard alone was enough reason for giving up and selling mine.
- brandur 5y agoFair enough. I like the Pomera's look (and love the broad Japanese market of weird/unusual electronics), but ... I doubt I'd ever buy a device without a full-sized keyboard again. These netbook-style machines were pretty interesting back in the 90s and 00s, but they're practically impossible to type on, and we've got enough good alternatives nowadays that they don't feel worth it anymore.
