PocketBook
PocketBook InkPad EO
One of the genuinely retail-available devices here, from a European brand with European support. Open Android 11 means you can install any PDF reader you like, and handwriting works inside third-party apps, which is rare. The writing itself is only fair — colours look washed out and the eraser behaves more like a selection tool.
