I find an eink tablet with no browser or a digitizing pen good for taking notes in this tech era.

Weelll....

I got the cheap standard case of the very first iteration (I was an original pre-order customer for the RM 2), not expecting to carry it around much (I was working from home most of the time anyway). I have to stick the pen somewhere else in the bag.

I just looked, they don't even have that cheap model anymore.
