This comparison site (in general) might be useful to others, seeing as I am in the boat of never having owned an e-ink tablet. The above link is already filtered down to my top 3: Supernote Manta, Viwoods AI and Boox Note Max.

If you have used any of these devices, please weigh in.

I want to be able to write, draw, read and listen to audio books, from a library (not proprietary ::glares in kindle::), annotate (fill out PDFs), send email, create to-do lists and manage a calendar. I preferred something in color but, have since given up on that idea.

I want a "distraction free" tablet for productivity and, for the sake of spending $400+ I want more than a glorified notepad ::glares in remarkable:: Most tablets, in general, offer more for less but, they don't offer the "writing feel."

I cruised the internet/reddit, mentally filtering for uninformed opinions and stumbling upon "one more option," to the point that I have blown several hours of my life, trying to find my "Holy Grail," before finding this comparison site yet, I am still torn. Mobiscribe sounds great but, good luck finding one.

Here is my extremely limited pro/con list generating my personal deciding struggle:

- Supernote Manta: boasts stability, the ability to upgrade/replace internal hardware and battery but, still runs on Android 11.

- ViwoodAI: Looks like the most "affordable option" Offers many features that reportedly do not work offline and shows the potential for having free features converted to a subscription, in the future. Runs on Android 13.

-Boox Note Max: Honestly, I had added and removed Boox products from my mental list, based on other product reviews, before someone mentioned this model but, after I found this comparison site and was too exhausted to look deeper. Pro It's A4 Letter size. Con: It's 13.3 inches.

At this point, it looks like it should be easy. There's an app for that...

But the primary care doctor referred me to a specific doctor, that doesn't show up on the app that my doctor used to refer me. Look up the doctor on health insurance app, because they are in network and the app also offers scheduling that doesn't work. Look up the doctor on Google, go to the website, which has an appointment booker, But I can't even select the location, to select the time. Call the number on the site, the number is for a different office. Call the number on the health insurance app, different office. Call the number on Google, recording indicates it's the right number but, nobody answers the phone.
