For anyone who didn’t click on that link: this is about the device having the same physical security as the thing it want to replace (paper). That is if someone has access to it, they can read it.

It is not about the device having some known software vulnerabilities in the usual sense when we hear about network-connected insecure device

Lack of full device encryption is also a no-go for me.

I can’t imagine loosing such device that contains confidential data.

The difference between this and a piece of paper is that this could contain your whole stack/library. Not just a single piece of paper note.

Also someone is way more likely to steal some iPad-looking thing than a paper notebook
Surely it replaces a briefcase, or a filing cabinet, that stores lots of documents/files/folders. Those things have locks.
