i haven't used my kindle since (kids); but used my old one daily for years and lack of color was a huge win. If you want color; you want an iPad.
This is one of the reasons I'm still not using my Remarkable 2 much.
I will wait for 2-3rd generation before buying it. I bought kindle early at $400 before it became a brick and I can just use my tablet/phone anyways. Remarkable has failed me twice. I am on fence with e Ink tablets. Perhaps it’s not for me.
Both the Remarkable and the Scribe are only 10" devices. If you are going to read and markup PDFs, a 13" screen makes so much more sense because it's very close to letter/A4 size.
I really want one of these, but not for $400-ish. I think the sweetspot for me would be around $150-ish. Fully understand if it's not achievable.

Sony Digital Paper was such a product but very few outside of Academia and some Japanese business customers bought it.

Could I interest you by chance in an Alphasmart word processor? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AlphaSmart
Right—that, but stick a big e-ink display above it. USB port and bluetooth so you can use an external keyboard (though a compact attached keyboard/stand isn't a bad idea, even if it's kinda a shitty keyboard). Like this, but instead of printing your finished line to paper it "prints" to e-ink: https://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/NzY1WDEwMjQ=/z/IA8AAOSwQ59ZZBmO/$... But, you know, not huge.

(I personally wouldn't touch one -- I need multiple lines of text in order to frame my thoughts in context, never mind that I like being able to dive online to do impromptu research as I write -- but I can see it appealing to some folks. 100 hour battery life is the obvious draw.)

I’ve had one for many years and found it to be the perfect device to read and take notes on PDFs: 13” screen, super lightweight, easy to send PDFs to it and from it through the app and writing on it feels similar to writing on paper. Unfortunately the pen’s tip broke off and there doesn’t seem to be any way to fix it or buy new ones. It is mostly useless without it.
Boox e-ink tabs do the same thing, but they're Android underneath so it's not locked down to Amazon and dependent on partnerships with Microsoft to add an export button.
I have a Boox that I'm quite happy with. It's quite pleasant to write on, and the battery lasts a considerable amount of time. The calibration seems to sometimes go off slightly, but I'm still not sure if that is the device's issue, the pen, or myself.
