OK, I spent more time with NoteMaster today. It creates, edits and reads docx files just fine.
If you have a keyboard or a braille display, it is easier. If you want to just use the touch screen for navigating, you need to either read to end, or use the rotor in line mode and flick up and down to move line by line. Flicking left to right seems to skip the text, or treat it as one large chunk, even if you have double hard returns for paragraphs. One of the pluses, which I have not mentioned or used, is the ability to password a given category. (He uses the term category the same way I think of folders.) I cannot get it to sync automatically with Drop Box. However, the sync does not take long. I had a book in docx format that seemed to cause errors in syncing, so I am going to write the developer to see what the file size limit is, because this was a cookbook that is 198 pages in Word. Some of the button labeling could be better, but it is easy enough to figure them out. Also, with Drop Box, it puts the NoteMaster folder under a folder called Apps, which is a system recommended by Drop Box. Meteor Notes does the same thing. Feel free to ask more questions and I'll try to answer them.
