Basics of tablet judging

Which Stylus to Use?

Does NOT need Bluetooth pairing

iPad – Basic Rubber Tip Stylus

Finer point – Adonit Jot Pro - $20-$30 Does NOT need Bluetooth pairing.

Complaints about Jot Pro Skipping

Scratching?

Use thermal compound between disk & ball (Artic Silver) Disks – expense…

Protective sheet?

This Stylus has a great point – but • Needs Bluetooth • Needs Lithium battery • Has short battery life; $50-$90

Noteshelf – in Settings – If you have a Bluetooth type stylus: Choose the stylus you want to use. Jot Pro does not need a setting.

Pencil 53 – new – Bluetooth $50

Wacom – new – Bluetooth $60 Wacom Bamboo – click the button and it will turn the page!
