I use the Fujitsu Quaderno A4 as my daily reader and notetaker (PDFs only).. it is absolutely fantastic. Simple but extremely thoughtful design. Extraordinarily light, durable, long battery. "It just works".

Does it OCR handwritten notes? Can you export the PDFs that have been annotated? How do you get documents onto and off of the device?

1. It may (as I do know it has OCR) but I am not sure for handwritten notes

2. Yes

3. I download all PDFs onto my phone, then NFC "tap" them onto my device. Similar vice versa

Great to see Quaderno A4 mentioned. Using it everyday. Highly recommend it. Sad that it's not easy to find in many markets

Most reviews I have seen say the battery life is terrible (which is the reason I haven't bought one). Can you share a little more on your experience and the 'long battery'.

I use it "off and on" (say 1-2 hours each day) for several days.. I probably charge it once every 3 to 4 days (and by then maybe it's 30-40%)? I haven't noticed a battery issue at all. My intuition is it lasts a week with normal usage. I always make sure to keep Wifi/NFC off of course (as it is not an Internet device).

I only see covers and screen protectors on Amazon. Is this a discontinued tablet?

I ordered mine over eBay. They only ship from resellers in Japan.
