You can, but satisfactory text editors on Android can be hard to find.

No issue with a large enough EPD tablet, a BT keyboard, a good text editor, good configuration and your ability to adapt to the system (latency etc.)

Thanks – I probably should have been clearer: I work in a variety of programs (FinalDraft, Highland 2, Gdocs, Scrivener, Notion) so I need to emulate what I see on my regular screen (OSX). My goal with the e-ink display is to be able to do more writing outside.

Then you could use Remote Desktop connection from your original laptop to a good EPD tablet, presumably Android based (to install the needed software on it). Or, of course, a monitor like that of the submission.

But the biggest colour EPD tablet I see after a brief search is only 10.3'' big, see nearby https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=mdp2021

You will also have to be prepared to the different technology: latency, for example, will be implied; ghosting; good lighting dependence...

Thanks a ton for the advice!

If you install termux you can use micro or vim.

If you install Termux there is a chance that you can install a full Desktop Manager and windowed applications (accessible through local VNC).
