There isn't one way of using e-ink tablet. Not by a long shot.
I don't care about handwritten conversion, and most people who I have seen enjoying their e-ink notebook doesn't care either. I just want a sketch application that work well on e-ink screen, that's it. It replaced my paper notebooks, so it's an "e-notebook". As far as I know, BIGME software even have a special mode on the Onenote App to reduce delay by rasterizing on their own sketch layer first (as Onenote is known to be pretty slow on Android). I haven't use BIGME so I don't know for sure. I have only use 10" BOOX and 13" Quaderno so far, with a 7.8" Supernote on order.
10" is the size of A5 paper, one of the most popular paper notebook size. Of course, some people prefer A6 (which is approx 7.8"), but A5 is still far more popular. I personally read fine on 6.8" Kindle, but tons of people in my home country swear by their 10" Boox Note Air. There are also many other 10" e-ink tablet than the reMarkable, most of which allow direct MTP access from computer or has some form of cloud integration.
Note: I haven't read the Gizmodo article. My comment are related to the device from their Kickstarter page and my experience with similar device only. I was actually tempted to buy this if not for the collaboration branding.
