Does anyone here use E ink / e-Paper tablets for their daily writing tasks?

Yeah, I don't care if the pen is free - using special paper is a killer. Hell, even if the paper were free it's be a serious road hump.

Right, it looks like the pen is not pressure-sensitive, so the different shades created by lighter and stronger lines get lost in the digitized drawing.

Lines are different lengths and not in the right place.

Thats an interesting observation, how would one solve that? Assumes the inc cartridge is spring loaded as ordinary ball pens are one could use a optical distance sensor at the top inside the pen to measure pressures?
Hmm, it also records audio, audio to text?

I borrowed a reMarkable 2 to play with from a colleague for a few minutes. I don't like it. Just doesn't feel right and it doesn't feel like you're connected to it. Plus it's terribly inferior on the software front as an iPad user background.
I'd go with the flow and buy an iPad and Apple Pencil and use GoodNotes. Even the bottom end ones are fine. They last years and are supported. My daughter just replaced her last one and iPad which she bought in 2015. It was still working fine but she wanted to upgrade to an iPad Pro for the extra performance. I use a 2021 11" iPad Pro as mostly my primary computer as well with an Apple Pencil and GoodNotes. It's really something special to use on a daily basis.
Also worth looking at ProCreate if you are artistically inclined.
Look around at the YT videos of ipads and goodnotes etc.
