I found an E Ink tablet worthy of replacing my Remarkable, and it's on sale

The Boox Note Max is a 13-inch e-reader that features a crisp display, practical tools, and one of the most impressive digital pen experiences I've tested. Plus, it's on sale at Amazon.

But if you want a highly customizable device for everything from document review to mock-up and sketch creation to extensive note-taking, it has an exhaustive list of features and settings to satisfy the needs of demanding power users. The only other device on the market (that I've tested, at least) that comes close to this level of premium note-taking is the Remarkable Paper Pro, which is thicker and heavier but has a color display and a backlight in exchange. In terms of features, the Note Max tries to do a little bit of everything, and the menus and settings tend to put themselves in front of your face in a way that might be frustrating for casual users.
