I find serial being the easiest. But if you have your Newt set up to do
email with a fast connection (Wifi etc) then yes that is a easy method.
 For me though I just plug in a serial cable fire up NCU (or X-port
which I personally use more often) and do a transfer. Takes only a few
seconds. It all comes down to which method is easier for you.

But back to the original subject yes a Emate is a great word processor.
 I use one quite a bit. I do recommend getting WriteStuff and
Merlin/Wordsleuth. With those packages installed you have a very
functional word processor that can do all of the important functions
that will be required of it.
