I’ve had one for many years and found it to be the perfect device to read and take notes on PDFs: 13” screen, super lightweight, easy to send PDFs to it and from it through the app and writing on it feels similar to writing on paper. Unfortunately the pen’s tip broke off and there doesn’t seem to be any way to fix it or buy new ones. It is mostly useless without it.

You can buy a new pen. At least I was able to when I broke it in 2017. Maybe the stock has run out now? Alternatively there are various posts online on how one might take it out, e.g. https://lifehacks.stackexchange.com/questions/15994/how-to-r...

Is it not this:

Those are replacement tips. I broke the head, leaving the shaft inside the pen and thats what I'm not able to get out. It seems to be a common problem if you look at the reviews:

You can buy them from Amazon Japan (and they will ship to the US):
