Oh wow, this looks like what I thought of, but the price tag is... well... it's present. :-D https://remarkable.com/ https://remarkable.com/

And the contrast does not look nearly as good as pen & paper.

Looks interesting, but I clicked "buy now" to view the price, and there's just an infinite loop of a Javascript loading indicator...waited 4 seconds and dipped out.

    Yeah, but with a cover and the "nicer" stylus, you are around $700. :-(

Could get a top-of-the-line tablet for $750AUD

  This is e-ink. It's not always pleasant to stare at a lightbulb when reading for long periods.

In practice, the remarkable main issue that often prevent it to replace pen and paper for me, is that it takes too long to start or wake up, while it's almost instant to grab a pen a find a piece of paper.

  Oh, I thought this would be some kind of snappy "almost-on" just like a Kindle feels. Don't want to have a "long" bootcycle for my paper, yeah. :-)

Also looking at the video, it seems that there's a subtle delay between pen touching and display (like 0.1s). This might stress you out in a long run. EDIT: Sony has also released something similar. https://www.sony.com/electronics/digital-paper-notepads/dpt-series https://www.sony.com/electronics/digital-paper-notepads/dpt-...

Have been pen and paper for decades, saw the prerelease announcement for this a year or two ago, bought it...and it sits unused. It is a very well done product, quite satisfying to write on, useful as a reader, successful at syncing. But the extent to which I use writing as a memory-enhancing practice became clear to me when it stopped working when I used the Remarkable for writing. My observation was that not being able to physically page through prior writing meant it was down the memory hole. Paging through a digital device is too absent context. I am back to the levenger circa paper and zebra pens.

I use mine practically every day.. Scribbling feels awesome and one of the most recent updates made it feel even better. The only downside is that undo seemingly has gotten a bit slower, so it's often much faster to erase than undo. Except for that I really like it. It's expensive but I think it's well worth it and it has definitely replaced paper for me. I also expect it to vastly outlive an iPad or Android tablet.
