I recently bought a refurbished Mobiscribe Wave for $99 on Amazon, and I’m really liking it so far. What’s your favorite cheap note taking device?

I’ll say one of the thing I wish my Boox did is pen support, but I haven’t actually found a note-taking app anywhere close to on par with MarginNotes for android anyways, so I’m really not sure I’d be able to use it.
This is my first eink notebook, so I don’t have much to compare it to. Having said that, I really like what it is. I actually take pictures of the screen and upload to corresponding ample note notes, so I might not be doing it the optimal way lol.
For just hand done note taking, I’m sure there are a bunch of options.
This is way off topic so I'm going to hide it lol.
For me, especially on a reader, what I want is a way to take the key points of a (nonfiction; fuck analyzing fiction lol) book I’m reading, then work towards boiling them down. So, as an example, I’m in the process of going back to some of my favorite psychology books and marking up all the core concepts, with the intention of eventually having an easily accessible way to reference specific studies and maybe suggest books to someone who’s interested in a digestible approach to their material. MarginNotes quickly turns text selections into a mindmap you can display different ways.
Once I’m done highlighting, I can go back and boil the text down to key points, because each box still references the original text.
I get that most people don’t handle taking notes on a text that way, but it’s why I personally haven’t used my ereaders for note taking like I wish I could.
