I know this isn’t what you asked for exactly, but if you’re interested in a more useful device, there are e-ink note takers like the Ratta Supernote (which I have) that sync with cloud services and let you write and draw on the screen and on documents. They’re pricey, but life-changing if they fit into your workflow.
Otherwise, I’ll second the Kobo. I have the predecessor to the Libra 2 (Libra H2O) and it’s just a phenomenal device. Literally my only complaint is it has a micro USB port (fixed on the current Libra 2).
I second the Supernote!
I also own a Remarkable, but after they removed features and began charging a subscription to re-enable the existing features, I looked elsewhere.
The Supernote has been great! Way more features than Remarkable. You can sync locally or in the cloud. The pen never needs replacing. I got used to the feel and prefer it over Remarkable’s screen now. Plus the devs are open about their roadmap and regularly listen to feedback. And they have NO subscription!
The pen never needing replacement nibs is an irrationally big factor for me.
