I want to get back into creative writing, and for work I prefer to take handwritten notes (I have my own weird shorthand and it helps with retention). I’d also like the ability to write at night and not disturb my partner.

I don’t want to go near iOS and the tablet would be primarily used for writing purposes.

Any recommendations or 'what to avoid’s?

Sorry if wrong community, I couldn’t find another relevant

    I love my ReMarkable 2! I use it everyday for handwritten notes and for e-reading. It doesn’t support the major stores, but it loads epubs just fine. I’m also self-hosting rmfakecloud cause I’m that kind of nerd. You mentioned night use, so definitely be aware it does not have any lighting built in.

      Ah gotcha. There was a guy next to me on the plane yesterday and he was writing in bright yellow text on a black background, I guess it gave the impression of being backlit. No idea what the tablet was and he seemed busy so I didn’t want to disturb him to ask.
