It's perfect for that.   just inexpensive, relatively high quality and 
perfect.

I love my Olympus D-10 for exactly that thing.

another option is the Blue Icycle which is a very inexpensive phantom 
powered USB pre-amp
(you can find them for as cheap as $40 on line or could when I bought mine)
and just use a laptop with a good stereo or mono microphone.

I'm recording the bulk of an acoustic singer/songwriter record with this 
simple method
currently,  straight into Audacity which is a simple and free audio 
editor available for
Windows and OSX.

You just plug in the Icycle connected to a microphone,  hit record
and, voila,  start recording......................use some headphones and
your next track will record as you immediately monitor your first track.

It's not the best audio editor in the world but it's easy for just 
putting things down quickly
which is what I'm trying to do, lately.
