Not a feature tour. The actual path.

New starts a chapter. Type. Read it back typeset. No browser on the glass.

Edit when you want the laptop
Bible, map, languages, CoAuthor — on the desk, after the words exist.
Questions
Straight answers
Can I write a book without a laptop?
Yes. Typewriter devices draft on e-ink or your iPad in the mill. Send puts the chapter in the Typewriter app. The browser desk also works without hardware.
Write the book. Hardware and AI only if you want them.
Free desk forever. Optional device. CoAuthor that knocks first.
