<div class="">Hello Judy,</div>
<div class=""> </div>At the moment I'm using regular notepaper, light weight index
cards, and vinyl protective shield labels like the ones they use in
libraries. I gave up on the dymo plastic labels because even after
creating the text for the label, I had a terrible time trying to get the
backing off the label. The vinyl protective shield labels come off the
roll pretty easily and hold on for dear life to whatever I stick them to so
far.
<div class=""> </div>
<div class="">As for speed, I'll worry about accuracy first. :)</div>
<div class=""> </div>
<div class="">I find that half the letters I write are mirrored the wrong way after
getting past the first couple of letters. Still a daily work in progress
and worth it in the long run for taking notes when I'm away from a regular
keyboard.</div>
<div class=""> </div>
<div class="">Thank you!</div>

anyone still use a slate and stylus that has found a comfortable stylus to
