Ask HN: Best device for reading and light writing?

#1
I want an e-ink display to read books and write my random musings, journal entries, notes.

I'll be able to make good use of it, so I am willing to pay for quality.

Audiobooks support and a browser for reading HN/blogs would be nice to have, but they aren't strict requirements at all.

People seem to like the display on Kobo Libra Color, but I am not sure about the writing experience.

Any suggestions? Thanks

The writing experience on Kindle Scribe is pretty good as well. I only use it for quick marginal notes and underlines. Sometimes drawing diagrams. But I used it mostly for reading.

Thanks for sharing, appreciate it.

Would you say it is convenient to use it for writing, say, 500 words at a go?

If you’re good at hand writing, there is no difference between it and a real paper notebook. There are also many notebook templates.
