I have a Kindle keyboard, a Nook Simple Touch (and a Raspberry pi) and I have tried different methods, including the <a href="http://www.ponnuki.net/2012/09/kindleberry-pi/" rel="nofollow">Kindleberry Pi</a> and <a href="https://lararthompson.wordpress.com/2013/03/19/e-ink-writing-101/" rel="nofollow">Nook with a keyboard</a>. I like Nook better, I must say. The screen refresh is better, and using the Norefesh app</a> makes the lag between a keypress and the character showing up on the screen almost unnoticeable – maybe even a better screen refresh rate than Hemingwrite's (just guessing). The method I normally use when I want a distraction free eink writer: I ssh to my Linux laptop from my rooted Nook, launch tmux and launch Emacs and turn the laptop screen off.
