Out of curiosity, have you tried a Samsung tablet with a Wacom digitizer and their S-Pen stylus? I'm currently looking for a device that lets me scribble into language learning work books, I'd be interested in hearing your comparison to a SP3.

  Some people in my lab have samsung tablets (including myself), and others have a surface 3. The samsung tablet has all the right hardware but the software is lacking. In general. I've tried all of it, really. Android onenote, lecturenotes, papyrus, s-note, etc. It all kinda blows.

    I'm curious about your lecturenotes negatives. It has so many customizable options I have a hard time imagining how it failed you. I've been using it for over a year for mostly math applications and it's been indispensable. The only feature I would want integrated is the "infinite workspace" of papyrus. But even then who cares I can still have infinite pages.

    Bluebeam? ezPDF? Any software than allows on the fly translation (word by word)? Thanks

  FWIW (anecdote warning) I have the Galaxy Note Tab 2014. The Stylus works great, but I only use it for drawing, and definitely wish I'd just waited for the Surface 3.

What program do you use to annotate PDFs? I have a Lenovo thinkpad with wacom support, but I haven't found a good piece of software to sign PDFs with.

  I use qPDF Notes (there's also a qPDF Viewer, which I think is their free app) on my Samsung Note Pro (12.2") I think you can import PDF's into Lecture Notes also, and annotate around them there, but I haven't bothered trying that, and I /expect/ it'd feel sluggish.
