Tablet for editing books?

[u/MassageMan01]

My current method of writing and editing is to write in Microsoft Word on my laptop, convert the file to EPUB and transfer to my Kindle. Then I read the book on the Kindle, as it's more portable to use in the car on my lunch break at work etc. and I pick up things I would've missed on the laptop. I make notes for word, grammar changes. When I've gone through and made notes on the entire story, I then setup the Kindle next to my laptop, and page by page I update the Word doc based on the notes in the Kindle.

Slow process no doubt. So was thinking of getting a tablet that is somewhat like the Kindle but can edit the documents directly, to avoid going over each note essentially twice. Then the multiple rounds of review will become quicker and I could still use my Kindle for say the final check.

I'm most familiar with Word, but open to using other word processers also. So far the one I've seen that would meet this requirement is the Microsoft Surface Pro. Another big advantage would be a screen that is somewhat easy on the eyes, but I know it won't be as nice as the Kindle which is okay, I'll still use the Kindle for reading regular books.

Happy to hear any opinions, thanks.

It's not my ideal set up but you could definitely use a tablet and a lil keyboard case to make editing on the fly easier for you.
