I want to get back into creative writing, and for work I prefer to take handwritten notes (I have my own weird shorthand and it helps with retention). I’d also like the ability to write at night and not disturb my partner.

I don’t want to go near iOS and the tablet would be primarily used for writing purposes.

Any recommendations or 'what to avoid’s?

Sorry if wrong community, I couldn’t find another relevant

I went down the rabbit hole of looking for an epaper note taker (some great YT reviews on all of them - this was my favorite: https://youtu.be/St5bZDCWRpE) and settled on the Boox Note Air Plus 2. I wanted long battery life and a backlight so I could read at night mainly.

There is a minor lag when writing but not troublesome for me - but I absolutely love it.

The only thing is I don’t fully trust the company that makes it since there are some issues surrounding the openness of the Linux OS they used so I don’t sign into personal accounts on it, but just transfer PDFs to/from it through the Wi-Fi drop.
