We do not see details of spanreed usage often. I have found some relatively good descriptions @Pagerunner may also find this informative Dalinar - Jasnah Shallan - the Davar estate Shallan - Tyn's employer Jasnah - her agents Adrotagia - multiple correspondents Amaram - Restares From those I draw some conclusions spanreeds need Stormlight while activated but not writing, that is with the signal light flashing, you can run around with them. We have multiple scenes of servants carrying them they board they rest on must be levelled to be used the spanreed itself, however, is placed by hand the spanreed is placed on the upper left position marked by a dot by convention to start a conversation The ruby is at leat in some cases on the side of the reed Shallan's family thinks that a spanreed cannot be used on the ocean The spanreed and the board are not paired. Shallan used a random board once Adrotagia once set surrounded by spanreeds on boards.
