Personally as a paper gperson, who loves to write on sheets any quick thoughts, TODO lists and anything that comes to my mind, it seemed a very good choice, but pricing now seems quite high. I have tried multiple online tools, but I do not like the feel.

After reading multiple real user comments, I do not think I still want to buy it. Does anyone know any other good alternatives for paper notes?

I see multiple people recommending cheap LCD panels, is there any cheaper or simpler e-paper note takers but with multiple notes features?

I have had a Supernote A5X (https://supernote.com/) for about 3 years now. It is good for someone focused on writing, it lacks a lot of the drawing/sketching capabilities and its cloud storage offerings are sparse. Both of these are pluses to me as I don’t sketch or back up to the cloud for security reasons. Unlike the Remarkable the pen nib does not need to be replaced regularly (mine is fine after extensive use for 3 years). The writing feel also differs from other e-paper writers and feels like a gel pen rather than a pencil.
I am an extremely happy Supernote user too. have both A5X and A6X although A6X isn't seeing as much use. A5X is just perfect
