Some ebook devices allow the user to take notes with a pen on the screen, turning the ereader into a possible replacement of paper. Since the functionality for taking notes by itself is quite varied, This article attempts to collect information regarding the devices' usefulness for that task.

[edit] Wacom Devices
Wacom tablets use a patented electromagnetic resonance technology. Since the tablet provides power to the pen through resonant coupling, no batteries or cord is required for the pointing device. As a result, there are no batteries inside the pen (or the accompanying puck). This allows for more slender pens, and gives the pen-and-tablet combination a long and essentially maintenance free lifespan.
Wacom tablets are generally more accurate than touch screen based devices when it comes to writing on them with a pen. Also, since the tablet only reacts to the pen, one can rest one's palm on the device while writing, like one would on real paper, providing a much more natural and comfortable experience.
