    Pretty much all kindles have touch screens these days.

    And the current generation of Supernote, Remarkable, etc e-ink tablets have reasonable response times.

      That’s cool, are any of them full Android devices that you can tinker with?

        There is mobiscribe wave in both bw and color. The company is shutting down, so they’re selling off their inventory for cheap. I bought a pen support bw notebook for $100 and a color pen supported notebook for $170.

        The Supernote is running a version of Android that let’s you sideload stuff, but I haven’t messed with it too much. There are also boox devices that are Android based and the inkpalm from Xiaomi.

        For the most part though, I think the android versions they use are generally very old.

          Ah that’s a shame, if there’s no guarantee of any kind of ongoing support then it’s just ewaste-in-waiting

            Meh, Supernote could shutdown tomorrow or upgrade to Android 16 and neither would change anything about how I use it. They also made the internals of this generation replaceable.

              That’s good. My concern is generally with security updates but I guess it really depends what you’re using the device for.

        Some Kindles. I know mine can be flashed to full Android instead of the stripped-down version it runs now, but I wouldn’t want to do that because it would run so much slower and have terrible battery life.
