Recently, I came over this blog post discussing the ReMarkable 2:
https://figbert.com/posts/remarkable-tablet/

Contrast this with the discussion it generated on lobste.rs, which I
personally found more interesting than the original blog post:
https://lobste.rs/s/cdhgjg/quite_remarkable_device

It seems to be a fine device for handwriting, but fails if you need to
view PDFs on it.

Disclaimer: I have never used one of these pieces.

Thinking about it: what about an e-ink tablet with an integrated
detachable bluetooth keyboard that runs Emacs? Use hand scribbling if
you need the freedom; use keyboard + Emacs if you need all the power.
I do not think such a device exists yet, unless you jailbreak an
existing one that has a Bluetooth chip on it.
