Is a proper sitting position "in a booth at a coffee shop?" If not, we might have had no Harry Potter.

Saying that one explicitly needs a desktop system (with the parenthetical insinuation that a laptop is possibly substandard) is ridiculous.

Plenty of people find the iPad an exceptional interface for writing. One with a fewer number of distractions than a full-fledged computer. In fact, with the Bluetooth keyboard, it very much reminds me of the word processors I used decades ago- a distraction-less environment that's actually very conducive to writing. Don't listen to someone telling you that an iPad is not a good writing interface, try it out and see if it works for you. It's a new technology and many, if not all, writers will incorporate it as they have all new technologies.

So completely agree. It is all about the combination of input areas. Working between the iPad and the MacAir works beautifully!

I can't figure out how to sync the Scrivener project with Notebooks. Would one of you novel writing gurus be kind enough to tell me how you have been doing this? Thanks so much!

Hey m8 I can suggest a great app I use it myself in fact it's called. Storyist
