Sugoi-Supernote

A collection of templates, tutorials, guides, and other useful resources for the Ratta Supernote e-ink tablet.
What does 'sugoi' (すごい) mean? It translates to 'cool/awesome' in Japanese. Since someone already had the awesome-supernote, I decided to create the sugoi-supernote instead =D
