Recommendations re writing tablets e.g. reMarkable (aussie.zone)

I want to get back into creative writing, and for work I prefer to take handwritten notes (I have my own weird shorthand and it helps with retention). I'd also like the ability to write at night and not disturb my partner.

I don't want to go near iOS and the tablet would be primarily used for writing purposes.

Any recommendations or 'what to avoid's?

Sorry if wrong community, I couldn't find another relevant

I found the My Deep Guide youtube channel to be a really good source of reviews when I was choosing an eink tablet, here's a link to his 2022 roundup.

I went with a Supernote A5X. My usecase was for college to take lecture notes and to read academic papers/epubs. I went with the Supernote over the reMarkable for the software support: I really like the concept of reMarkable's Linux-based OS and being able to use community mods, but it felt like I would need the mods to have all the features I wanted, while the Supernote wouldn't allow for modification but would have everything I wanted built in. I've been satisfied with the writing and reading experience, customer support is responsive via email and Reddit, and OS updates have been adding new features without a subscription.
