reMarkable
E ink tablet you write on with a stylus
A writing tablet with an E ink screen and a stylus, closer to paper than to a laptop. You never run out of pages, and the handwriting can be searched and synced in a way a paper notebook cannot. There is no browser and no messaging app on it, which is most of the point.
