I completely agree. Writing is one of the things for which the Internet Tablet (with its small screen) is most suited.
I meant to say in previous post that Notes seems to be quite good at importing HTML. I exported a couple of longish documents (16,000-18,000 words each) from Word and imported them into Notes without difficulty. The formatting of the original Word docs was straightforward: no tables, graphics or indexes but plenty of footnotes and crossreferences. On exporting from Word to HTML, the footnotes were converted to endnotes. I forgot to look at what happened to the crossrefs.
On importing the HTML to Notes, a lot of information (heading tags etc) was lost, so you can forget about roundtripping, but the imported doc was perfectly readable and editable in Notes and character formatting (italics and bold) was preserved.
Earlier versions of Word were notorious for producing a messy and impenetrable tangle of tags purporting to be HTML. I used Word 2007 and exported as "Web page, filtered", which gives a relatively tidy HTML file.
