For a great example of Android on e-ink, look at the mobiscribe. I've used it daily for years. It's a companion to my smartphone, not a replacement. I got excited as the prospect of a pocket-sized version, but was very disappointed to discover they didn't include stylus support here. So, I'm still waiting on that pocket sized version. For a big version, consider boox. There's also Remarkable and Amazon Scribe but I believe those run Linux without Android.

I really did consider all these tablet options before I just pivoted to getting a Galaxy S7FE as a writing tablet. The problem I had was justifying the price for a single purpose device that could not be repurposed to do anything else. The S7FE was $400, comes with a stylus, lasts about 3 days on a charge if taking notes, or about 11hrs of Youtube/Netflix otherwise. And since it is a full Android device with Samsung Sync, every note i take on it is instantly available on my phone too.

Yeah I recommend ipad/pencil or android equivilent (like you got) if you have to choose one. I own like 7 tablets, that's why I have these gimmick ones. But they're nice for what theyre good at.

Boox tablets are fantastic. My Poke 3 is exactly what I was looking for (although I had to miss on the SD card slot sadly!)
