This is by far the best notepad application available for the Kindle at this time. It is beautifully simple and functional, and can be used in many ways. So far, I am using it to hold two different shopping lists (Grocery List and Costco List), an Ideas note, and a To Do note. Multiple items can be added in each note.
I used it for grocery shopping the other day and it worked like a charm. I created a note and titled it Grocery List. Then I entered my list of items. While shopping, as I added an item to my cart, I "crossed it off" the list by adding two periods to the front of the item name. I didn't want to simply delete the item because (1) that would take longer and (2) I can reuse the same list, adding more to it, as necessary, and removing the periods from the items I need to buy again. Also, while shopping, if I thought of something that wasn't on the list, I added it to the list right then and there so that I would not forget it.
Later on, I thought to categorize the items in my Grocery List by arranging them under headings like PRODUCE, DAIRY, etc. Don't misunderstand me, though: There is no feature in Notepad to have categories within your Notes. I simply added a note item with all capital letters as the category heading and indented and used lowercase for the items under the headings. I'm only sharing this to give others ideas of how Notepad can be used.
I really like that the Notes have a time stamp. This way you know how recently you've accessed any of your Notes.
A feature that I would like to see added is the ability to sort the contents of a note. Currently, we can only sort the notes themselves. Ability to sort note contents would be very useful for notes that contain a list.
If you are thinking about buying this Kindle application, do not hesitate. It is most definitely worth it!
