What apps do you use for written note taking and reading? (hexbear.net)

Just broke my wrist, and it takes me like 10x as long to type anything. I had been looking into written alternatives for a while, and this blew me over the edge. I like the Remarkable 2, but I don't think I can justify that much on a device that can only read and write documents without trying one out first. The other option people keep recommending to me is an ipad. I don't have one of those either, but I've used one with a paper screen so at least I know how that feels. My biggest problem with the ipad is the opposite of the Remarkable, there are too many apps and I have no idea which to use. So what apps do you use, if any, or do you use another thing entirely?

Are you able to comfortably hold a pen? I strictly use pen and paper. I always have a notebook in my backpack and a pocket-sized one in my jacket pocket.

sorry comrade hoping for a swift & simple recovery for u meow-hug

Thanks heart-sickle. Luckily I broke my non dominant wrist so I can hold a pen fine. I would prefer to write everything on physical paper, but that’s unfortunately a bit too anachronistic for documents I need to submit electronically. All my personal notes though I do keep in a little pocketbook
