I have now almost entirely stopped using paper. I eventually passed on the reMarkable, but that user swapped a Libra for a Sage plus an MS Surface compatible pen (works same as Kobo pen off an Elipsa). You can't have given the Sage + pen a proper trial (esp. with later firmware), but obviously the reMarkable works for you. In my analysis of IT and many years of it including training, your use case is very specific to you. I've used a Newton (over hyped) and a Palm PDA (Graffiti interface is gesturing, not writing and screen is too small 2"). Also I've had a Wacom digitiser + pen since they came out (Serial then USB). I have also the Lenovo X201 laptop/tablet with touch screen and Wacom pen. I've seen ten people in real life use the Sage. Three have now got a Sage. Not one person was impressed with the reMarkable, except to read PDFs, but the file system only view only is poor for books. I had to install KOReader on the Elipsa to have similar PDF viewing, but now not needed since Kobo implemented PDF zoom/crop per document. It's good to have choice and I welcome the Lenovo product. I nearly bought a Kindle Scribe for PDF proofing, which is not a hobby, but work. However it seems to be the least suitable on the market for it despite the 300 vs 227 dpi. If I didn't have the Elipsa I'd maybe be using the reMarkable for PDF proofing, but document management is a failure with no Calibre support, no MTP or USB-MS. |

"What I get at the E-Mail is converted text from my hand written notes and that's the thing I need to work on in OneNote."
I don't need handwritten notes via E-Mail, this makes no sense for my special purpose. I copy the converted text out of the E-Mail in an OneNote folder, cause thats the thing I need. After that I can search any time a word or a date or others in OneNote. And that's perfect for me. |

I still might get a Boox if they have one with 300 dpi and better than 10″. Does anyone know for sure what the Lenovo dpi is? I couldn't read the entire Engadget review. |

Do any of these devices let you connect a Bluetooth keyboard?

I think all meebook/boyue do.
The Kobo Elipsa & Sage do, but only take text where the onscreen keyboard would, i.e. none at all in Notebooks or Advanced Notebooks. The Libra2 might, but I've not tested it. You can easily make suitable epubs (journal, notes, diary etc) where you could highlight an item and add a note with a BT Keyboard. BT keyboard stuff is unrelated to things having a digitizer and thus a pen/pencil/stylus. Mostly a screen for adding a note either works with a stylus OR text (which is touch keyboard or BT and rarely USB) |

The second you can ask someone who doesn't shorten e.g. names, company names with only one letter. And noted sensitive numbers without further text can't be assigned to anything specific. And yes, my boss knows my device and he liked it and he also knows what kind of notes I'm writing on, see above. |

Ideally, keyboard support be such that you could do most things without touching the screen, i.e. with keyboard shortcuts and so forth. |

Oddly my Android 4 phone works well enough with a USB hub to have a mouse, keyboard, HDMI HD screen and a USB mass storage device with Jota. Many Android things only support USB storage, though often my emergency PC USB dongle for ethernet works (slowly). I've also managed to run a USB DVB-T TV stick on two 10" Android tablets, but only demo software (TV or Radio or SDR). Free on Linux or Windows for TV or SDR. As I've written elsewhere, forget about more than simple plain text notes on phones, tablets or eink. The Handwriting + conversion to text on the Sage is faster and easier than any text + real keyboard (BT or USB) app I've tried on Android or iOS. I don't use Jota now that I have a Sage.
