This sort of thing always seems to be held back by software --- it's been decades now, and Apple still hasn't made a device I want to buy since killing off the Newton, and while I carry and use my Kindle Scribe pretty much constantly, it's mostly for reading and sketching, not for the extensive notes integrated into my writing which my Newton MessagePad, NCR-3125, and Wacom ArtZ attached to my NeXT Cube and all cabled together w/ DB-9 serial cables made workable.

About three years ago I switched from an office full of paper, where I would print and write my notes, to an iPad with an Apple Pencil and the app Noteshelf. It worked remarkably well. There are screen protectors that mimic types of paper, and tactile resistance pretty well. Slowly paper disappeared from my office and I stopped printing all together.

  I have been trying voice notes recently instead of writing, using nebulanotes.ai I mostly used to scribble notes as i went through my day, but it’s been so much faster to just talk. (disclaimer, i work for the company that makes nebulanotes)

  I can't stand the click of an Apple Pencil, and it annoys me that it only works on specific iPads, and I do not need yet another battery/capacitor to manage in my life (refuse to use wireless keyboards/mice). Currently, all of the devices I use support Wacom EMR: - Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ - Samsung Galaxy Book 3 Pro 360 - Kindle Scribe - Wacom One 13 (gen one) display attached to my MacBook Pro (sometimes it gets switched to a Linux box) and unfortunately, that's not possible w/ an all-Apple eco-system (because they haven't made a replacement for my Newton MessagePad (which had a stylus which did not need a battery)). Pretty much the only paper I use is for grocery lists (and if Amazon or someone would make a small e-ink device which used a Wacom EMR stylus which I could leave in the kitchen and which would synch to the cloud, even that would stop) or for sketches/diagrams which want to be larger than the Kindle Scribe allows.

    Click? I'm not sure what you're referring to. Do you mean the tap of the tip on the screen? I haven't really noticed that, just the tactile feedback of writing on a smooth surface.
