Anyone used shorthand on a "drawing tablet"?

Hi all,

I'm looking at getting a "drawing tablet" for inputting shorthand! Anyone have experience with this? What tablets work better? I'm thinking about starting off with a $70 Wacom Intuos, but was wondering if anyone had suggestions.

My main use-case that I have planned is grabbing free childrens' books, and adding Gregg, probably in a long bar at the bottom of the page. I'm thinking to get the book set up as a bunch of jpegs, then add extra blank space at the bottom of each image, and write the shorthand in there with something like Pinta. (Linux program like MS Paint)

Although, I do also "have a dream" of making a reverse dictionary, Gregg->English for Anniversary! (But maybe I'll make that a separate post.)

Cheers,
-Steven
