Soooo.. not to sound like a luddite but to me the best dedicated writing device for me has been just pen and a notebook or a typewriter.

There are surprisingly many "portable" typewriter options out there (including electronic ones).

An odd laptop ($0) with free software ($0) makes more sense than buying another electronic device.

If you don't value your time sure. Pen and paper is also basically free and even simpler with no setup time..

Handwriting or using a typewriter is great if you're writing something solely for enjoyment of the process. But if you want to store, organize and use any of your writing in the future - you have to go digital.
