Ok, I played with it and it seems like the recognition only works in the "Notes" app. It doesn't work as a general text input for applications.
It works pretty well, though. You select the text with the pen by circling it, and then you can copy it to the clipboard or replace the drawing with the actual text.
Battery life is good, I use it with the wifi off and only had to charge it once, and I read a full book on it.
I haven't played with the handwriting recognition yet, let me take a look and I'll report back.
I bought a Mobiscribe recently, for the same reasons. It's an eReader with an eink display, but it's an Android tablet. I installed F-Droid, and then NextCloud (to access my ebooks) and Librera Reader. I also use it for listening to podcasts (via Bluetooth, since it's an Android tablet) and taking notes with the stylus.
This is amazing advice! Saving it for when I have a kid.
Staying true to the centuries-old library concept, only one patron at a time can rent a digital copy of a physical book for a limited period.

I thought the same. Definitely the same vibe.
There's was a scanner app that I loved, for Android. Turned into a subscription, even though most people use it less than once a month and even though the app was basically complete and never got updates.
Singular they has been used for something like 7 centuries.
No one needs an AR-15 for self defense.
Ugh, I had a trans coworker who was conservative. Had an AR-15 "to defend herself", and was against non-binary people and immigrants. Joined the police as a volunteer, and was doxxed for hanging out with some white supremacists.
I'm currently running this instance on a Digital Ocean VPS with 1 VCPU and 1GB of ram, just to get started. I'm keeping an eye on CPU and memory usage, so I can upgrade it as we grow.
Right now it looks like this:
Today I added a swap file, since we're around 90% memory usage. But I expect to probably have to bump it to 2GB in the next coming days.
Steal $50 from your employer and you'll to jail. Employer steals trillions and nothing happens.
