Long live the stylus. Nothing replaces the feel of a pen in hand, manually putting your thoughts on paper instead of tapping on a keyboard, but many note-takers opt for options with less paper-waste these days. To support the stylus-loving crowd, a wave of E Ink tablets that replicate the feel of paper join mainstays like the Apple iPad Pro and reMarkable 2 to offer enthusiasts more choices than ever. And this list of top note-taking options includes everything from glare-free E Ink displays to brilliant LED or LCD screens for every budget and use case.

The 64GB Amazon Fire HD 10 is $75 off at both Amazon and Best Buy right now, making for an impressive 42% discount off its regular price.
