Kindle is the only e-ink device I think that is needed, and this is only to read books. Everything else is so much better on my Samsung tab (or in your case, the iPad). I was heavily geared towards buying a Remarkable, but then realised, I can do the same, if not way better on the tablet I already own.
Maybe for you. I enjoy using my Note Air 3c much more than using my Samsung S7 tablet. Reading blogs, reading books, wikipedia, taking notes, looking at images - everything is just so much more enjoyable on the NA3c. The only thing that works better on the S7 is video, however I still prefer to watch video on my TV.
I don't know about apple, but I got a Samsung S7 for the last 4 years now, mainly for note taking. 2 weeks ago I bought the Onyx Boox Note Air 3C, an e-ink tablet. Note taking on the S7 was okay, but the Note Air 3c is a completely different league. It's addictive. I enjoy browsing web pages and especially reading blogs so much more than on the S7. Images look so "real" on an e-ink device, much better than on LCD.
iPad is great. Even on the latest OLED I used the Rock Paper Pencil cover from Astropad. It uses magnets to click on the screen so you can do your handwriting. You can remove the cover if you want to enjoy the OLED quality screen (watching your fav movie or TV series) and then smack on the cover from Astropad to continue making notes/handwriting from your Apple Pencil. Also, please be aware that Astropad sends you different metal tips for your pencil that work much better as it usually is used by graphic artists. Well worth a try and it has replaced Paperlike for me, as I want to have the option to remove a cover if I want to make use of the OLED screen.
I know this insight is anecdotal, I don't think in words but in images and abstractions, so I struggled with writing things down on an iPad, most of the time it didn't understand my handwriting. Some of my colleagues were having no issues at all, the process of writing things down was having the desired effect as the brain was working harder and so the ideas and insights came. It's only when I started to use a visual note-taking tool has the same effect happened to me. When I'm using Heptabase ideas just come flooding out of my brain. Yes I know there are other visual note-taking tools, the only other one that comes close is Scrintal, I'm excited to see what they release in the Autumn, I do wonder if they will catch-up.
Yes! Same reason for me and so many others of our members to use visual tools like Heptabase and Miro. So you’re definitely not alone! I even think, other people might actually miss out not expanding their note-taking efforts into visual tools too! 🚀✨
Thanks. Although the iPad is the hands-down winner for Heptabase, this doesn't depict the best a BooX can do. I have a BooX Tab Ultra C. When it's on normal refresh the screens updates smoothly, one can even watch TH-cam. In this clip it seems to be set in HD or Regal mode, which is suitable for reading books etc. I use it for Obsidian, Notion and OneNote. Unfortunately Logseq runs very poorly, which is a bummer because it's my main PKM tool. Readwise Reader works well too.
I fully agree and all the points you’ve mentioned about BooX I‘ve covered in the BooX review video I‘ve published here: th-cam.com/video/0T11MO9BKL4/w-d-xo.html

Thank you. It is clear that as attractive as an e-ink device is that the iPad is a no brainier when it comes to using Heptabase. Thank you Tom.
Great to read you found it useful 🙌

Thanks for the Tipp! I will check it out!

Definitely the type of content i would like to see. Thank you. I have been wondering if the ipad had notable advantages over remarkable. 👍
