reMarkable is on the expensive side cost wise, but otherwise a device that fits what you want. If you're on the technical side of things, it even provides a root shell over SSH if you want.

Maybe there's a more recent model, but the one I demoed, the screen is slightly too big - the 8-9" range is ideal, I could maybe do 9.5" if it kept the weight down elsewhere - and more importantly, low contrast, low DPI, and no light. I want a reader, not a replacement for a legal pad.

Do you have one? What is the day to day experience with it?

I’m afraid that I won’t be able to establish the habits necessary to make the purchase worthwhile, however.
