Do eInk devices encourage good habits in reading and notetaking? (i.e. reMarkable, Boox, Supernote vs Obsidian for ADHD)

…or is it shiny new thing syndrome?

I use typing and obsidian for my notes. My wife uses Apple Pencil and Goodnotes. She can still do backlinks and everything I do, but she can also write in handwriting and sketch things quicker than Excalidraw. I’m a bit jealous.

Meanwhile, I would really appreciate an 13" eink device for reading science PDFs without zooming, so a Boox Manta looks tempting, especially seeing as I don’t own any tablet device.

But do these eInk devices really encourage better work habits than a laptop?
