E-ink device hub

Every pen-input e-ink tablet, tested for planning

We test tablets for one thing: how well they run a planner. Writing feel, whether PDF hyperlinks actually work, and which of our sizes fills the screen without scaling.

What we measure

Does the pen feel like paper?

Latency, friction, and nib wear — scored 1–5 from hands-on use.

The one that matters

Do PDF links work?

A hyperlinked planner is only navigable if the device honours GoTo links. We test every one.

Fit, not scaling

Which size fills the screen?

Every device maps to S / M / L / A4 so your planner uses the whole display.
