Is this the answer to custom templates on the Scribe?

Is this the answer to custom templates on the Scribe?

Hello! My only complaint with the Kindle Scribe (old models and the new Colorsoft) is that I can't access my notes on PDFs unless I forward them to my e-mail. I find it particularly annoying for tools like calendars and planners, because I use them a lot, and sometimes I need to check them even if I'm not carrying my device with me. I could use the built-in templates, but I don't really like them.

I tried to build one myself with the geometric shapes, once I noticed that you can't erase them with the gum, but you must click on them and then proceed to delete them. So I put on the squared layout, and I tried to reproduce my old Moleskine's weekly template (and many others for different stuff, like guitar tabs by adding a sixth line to the music built-in template), then I switched the layout to the blank one to only have what I created on the page.

I've been using this template for a few weeks now and, I must say, it works nicely. Weekdays' initials have also been created with the geometric shapes (you can create the alphabet once and then copy-paste single letters where you want), so I can write next to or directly on those shapes, then erase, and I won't lose any of them, just like in a built-in template. That is not hyperlinked, of course, but I find it more useful than those PDF's.

I keep my custom layouts in a separate notebook, so I have a backup copy in case I change something by mistake, and I can easily copy-paste them where and when I need.

Let me know what you think of this idea (also let me know if this isn't new at all).
