My Penstar eNote Review: Worth the hype?

This $369 ePaper device goes a long way in replicating the pen-to-paper experience. It runs Android 11, supports 8,192 levels of pressure sensitivity with the included stylus, and can convert handwriting to text (mostly). But it lacks any sort of lighting or multitouch. As a straight-up Notepad device, it succeeds, but there are definitely some caveats to consider.
