That said, you're right that physical paper is wonderful. I often find myself wishing for some way of moving easily between digital and paper representations of a problem I'm working on. The best I've come up with practically so far is heavy use of index cards and a scanner when I want to get things back into the digital realm. I think something like this could be slick and nice, but my current implementation is actually pretty clunky, so I tend only to do it during the initial phase of a new project -- print off all the info I think I'll need, grab a stack of index cards and a mechanical pencil, walk away from my workstation and sit down at the kitchen table to think and scribble, then scan in anything that needs scanning in and work the rest of the project digitally. I'd love to have the ability to move back and forth with less ceremony, but so far I haven't seen anything that would facilitate this.
I think the reMarkable (2?) tablet might be at least part of what I want, though I haven't had a chance to look into it very deeply. They probably also depend on a cloud service that could go up in smoke at any time, which I'd like to avoid for something super integral to my daily workflow.
