Try a good eink device.

This. My 10" e reader, boox note 2, is a godsend. It runs a barebones android which gives you almost zero distractions. Annotations are great with the touch sensitive pen.

My reading increased 5-10x, b/c the friction to get that heavy book is gone. Also no more waking up the misses with a bed light, as the backlight is pretty subtle.

Sorry for the sales pitch, but these devices are just awesome.

Did you consider remarkable for your usecase ever? I am in market for e-note taking and am torn between boox note 2 vs remarkable.

I am not looking to be locked in for subscription just for pulling my notes from device to another PC

Considered it. Iirc, it doesn't have a backlight, as the reading part was more important than the writing part, the choice was easily made.

I remember remarkable saying the extra layer needed for the backlight would be detrimental for the writing experience.
