adding a different perspective here: we're still comparing 2 technologies that, to me, are not yet mature enough for the mainstream. i have both but still use my pen and notebook. why? firstly, its not quite a joy. they are slow (janky, glitchy refreshes, latency, etc, depending on your specific device..) for example changing a page is still jarring. in some lighting the screens dont look good (grey, low contrast). and sometimes i reach for the boox, and woops, dead battery. what i thought i would benefit from the most was having a "single notepad to rule them all" (i have multiple notebooks for various purposes and thought it would be cool to just have one device, with the multiple notebooks inside, and searchable!) well, in some ways its more convenient, but in others its clearly lacking polish. its a pain to move a page from one book to another for instance, or to open up the section i want, so i end up with notes mixed up sometimes anyway. i cant be as precise as with a real pen, so a single page in my real book is about 2 on the tablet. etc. anyway, there werent many dissenting voices here so i thought id share a dose of reality for anyone with an itch. im very excited to see what comes in the next generation of both, maybe then ill finally be able to recommend them
