Sometimes I want to make a quick to-do or grocery list or scribble down a phone number and I might not have any paper but I always have my kindle.

For hand written notes and drawings the old Sony T series, and some earlier models, had that capability but no other major maker ever picked that up that I know of. The T3 also had a 212 PPI screen resolution, like the Kindle PW1 and PW2, while all earlier Sony readers were 167 PPI per Wikipedia. The Sony readers had a IR touch screen so almost anything could be used as a stylus for writing or drawing. The T series also had a Micro SD card slot good for a up to 32 GB sd/sdhc card. Five buttons under the screen as well as a touch screen. I have examples of all Sony T series units and still use them on occasion. Last one discontinued in 2014 due to Kindle competition as the Sony readers tended to be considerably higher priced, at least in the USA. Also late adopting 3G or wifi compared to Kindle.
