I had a similar adventure.

I ended up with a Meebook E-Reader P78 Pro. It is an android based e-reader with a stylus and note-taking capabilities. Even has the ability to enable Google Play Store.

I added Kindle, Library, and Audiobookshelf to mine, along with Obsidian and some note taking stuff. it works fairly well, nowhere near perfect, but its also much cheaper than the DC-1.

Maybe look into that also. There might be newer versions or alternatives. Maybe something from Boox

I'd be careful with boox, just had the display on my Palma break with no obvious cause as it was in a soft inner pocket. Screen wasn't broken, just the eink display underneath.

Just to add, I bought this primarily for Reading, and note taking second on occasion.
