There are iPad apps such as CollaNote (free) & GoodNotes ($) which allow you to write/scribble/doodle with an Apple Pencil. Note the same experience but there are some other benefits. You can zoom in to write small, easy ink color change, moving portions of written text, OCR, search, hyperlinks, digital planners, synchronized audio (with writing) etc. You can paste in pictures, videos, pdf and so on. And now you can easily scribble/highlight on any PDF etc. For some things I still prefer computation notebooks with 4x4 Quad light green paper but increasingly I am relying on the iADHD device! In any case I still prefer writing as opposed to typing when {t,m}aking notes and for design notes or sketching new ideas. The writing experience on the ipad is not great even with a paperLike(TM) plastic screen protector But I can live with that. In contrast the Unix GUI experience is falling further and further behind. Wish it weren't so. I haven't used any e-ink device as they are expensive and they seem limited in other ways compared to the iPad.
