I just want a digital notebook that doesn't need my phone and doesn't cost $300 to amazon
There's slowly starting to be more options for this. The reMarkable devices seem pretty good, but they're a little pricey (though, I'm pretty sure they're not owned by Amazon, so it might technically fit your requirement).
How dare you
I just bought their kindle and never connect it to WiFi. Just load some books on it with USB once in a while. Works great, was cheap, and is waterproof.
Isn’t that a Boox? eInk, stylus, android, can buy direct.
I came within a click or two of buying the poke, but you need bigger for the pen layer.
... Are you guys pulling my leg with these names or are they real?
They're real. I have a Boox Max 3. The Poke is the small one (6") they make. The name is playing on pocket, I'm assuming. The 6" I ended up getting as a pocket option instead (because it was silly cheap for having color) is basically the same size as my iPhone 13 Pro Max (thinner but wider, and way lighter), so you can comfortably throw it in a jeans pocket.
$500?
For a digital notebook? With Android?
No, not what I want at all. Like why would I need an OS at all?
I'm not sure you have the firmest grasp on what an OS is.
It ticks the boxes - not Amazon, stylus, and eInk.
You’re going to need an os, even if it’s just embedded to access a file system and manage resources.
I bought one and it kinda sucked. I wanted a digital library for the tens of thousands of pages of references I use at work, and a sketch pad would be a bonus. It’s a cool device but the screen is just too slow to be useful and the application space for android and drawing is…thin.
I've been kind of hoping for a e-ink based laptop device for amateur radio to email via the WinLink system. Emergency communications need to send messages for very extended periods of time without resupplying, so they must take as little power as possible. An e-ink screen could stretch a single charge over weeks.
