I've tried out all the e-ink note taking devices (Kindle Scribe, Boox Go 10.3, Remarkable 2, and Remarkable Paper Pro). The Kindle Scribe can't really compete with the others right now since the software is so limited. I'd only get it if you were a huge Kindle user that very occasionally wanted to take some notes. Otherwise, the Remarkable 2 or Remarkable Paper Pro are your best bets. Those are absolutely excellent products that don't overwhelm you with distractions.

You need a word of caution here. These devices are very good for writing but absolutely suck at rendering ebooks. I was on the market for a new e-reader/writer ultimately decided to go for the Boox Note Air 3 (no backlight on the Go was a deal breaker) and I think remarkable really dropped the ball by releasing the Paper Pro with a pen that needs a battery. Coming from years of using a Kobo Ellipsa, this was a huge deal breaker. The Remarkable 2 is a bit old and underpowered not to mention the limited amount of storage space.
