I had a Windows Tablet PC back in like 2005, and really liked it. I waited for years for a e-ink tablet with a wacom-style input and good note taking software. I stopped waiting at some point. Is that BOOX any good for note taking? Is that something that for example college students could use to take class notes?

Was in the same boat myself. Tried lots of different styluses, and was hoping that a new DX size kindle would come out. Recently I have been really happy with an iPad Pro and pencil since it's basically the size of a pad of paper! A Sony Ereader with wink was just released but it was basically the same price as the iPad Pro. :/

  I think given those prices, I'll just get a wacom tablet for my macbook and use xournal. Does the ipad pro even have a decent eco system for note taking apps?

    There's a few decent apps that I've enjoyed using. My favorite two are Notes Plus, and Notability. If anything the ecosystem is better than the Mac desktop. There's room to improve as neither Notes+ or Notability fully take advantage of the size and power of the iPad pro. Still, the shape of the tablet form makes it great for note taking -- even if it's more oriented toward student / business notes.

How about a noteslate? assuming they finally deliver this time, it seems precisely what you're looking for... http://noteslate.com/ http://noteslate.com/

  This does look pretty interesting. Could maybe be a bit larger. And their website less shiny and more info. I like that they are offering (by invitation only) a ios and Android app -- so much of a tool like that is the OS and interface, if you can give people a simulated version on a device they already have, that's a pretty good share-ware like onboarding experience.

    ...On closer inspection, it seems this thing is yet to come out. And even on their most recent video, it still has a fair amount of lag.

      Yeah, it was first announced in 2011 (!) I think, and it's still on preorder I'm waiting on my signature edition though, hopefully they took their time to make it decent enough... I'd assume the lag is a software issue, it should be solvable with software updates in theory
