I'm coming from an Kindle Paperwhite but looking to getting a new one since I cracked the screen. So I'm interested in suggestions! I liked my old one for what it was, but I could find myself missing being able to take notes comfortably.

My Onyx Boox Leaf 2 is awesome. The e-ink screen really is a game changer, I love it a lot. It's like paper, that you can read in the dark. And it being Android is amazing because I can have all my epubs on it, Hoopla, Libby, Barnes&Noble, Kindle, Kobo, and any other apps where people try to reel you into a DRM ecosystem. Mine can't really do notes I think, but a lot of the Onyx Boox products can I think, and do them quite well from my understanding. They can get pricey though.

I've come to the conclusion that note taking is best left for something else, mostly because, as you say hehe, the price. Have you by chance tried reading any technical PDFs on it (e.g. scanned course books)?

Yes and it can do it but it isn't ideal. I'd opt for a bit bigger screen for that instance.
