What matters in e-ink writing tablets

Every tablet here writes on an e-ink screen with a pen, and every one of them puts the pen in the box. The differences that show up in daily use are specific: how big the page is, whether the screen has a front light for reading in the dark, whether it shows colour, how sharp the black-and-white text is, how much it weighs in one hand, and how much storage the base price buys.
