I've seen the occasional e-ink tablet/laptop pop up on The Digital Reader:

https://the-digital-reader.com/2018/...-e-ink-screen/
https://the-digital-reader.com/2019/...up-march-2018/

Unsure of how they work in actual practice. Doubt it would be a very good experience because of low DPI+CPU+refresh rates.

Back in 2017-2018, he wrote articles about Remarkable (e-ink tablet):

https://the-digital-reader.com/2018/...-party-hacker/
https://the-digital-reader.com/2018/...g-ocr-feature/

Seems like he actually owns one, so perhaps he'll be willing to give an update if you contact him?

I've got concerns about the user friendliness of the filing system, how notes are stored etc. And just using the device to write in general.
From what I gather, it would probably be more effective purchasing an actual tablet.

Then you have the backing of actual Android/iOS, access to all apps (not locked to a handful of clunky ones on the device, etc. etc.).
