The Lenovo devices are quite highly priced and do not really look as
if they are meant as a "paper replacement". It probably is more of a
"oh, and you can read the 100+ pages financial report on e-paper without
switching devices".

The other devices are appearently meant to specifically target writers
who seek distraction-less writing. However, when I see these little
screens resembling laptops from the 90ies, I earnestly need to ask:
why not just use a real typewriter instead? The page is larger and
well functioning typewriters can still be easily and cheaply found.
For postprocessing, use OCR; character recognition has improved a lot
in the past years, even with open-source software like tesseract.

None of these devices is actually a tablet.
