I am impressed, but I still believe that UI optimized for e-ink may be
more convenient for specific tasks involving org files than generic
Emacs build for Android. Perhaps conversion of handwritten notes to text
should be delegated to a laptop or a PC.

FTR, I'm a happy Onyx Boox user.
I considered remarkable, but I read somewhere (can't find it) that handwritten
PDF annotations were not coded as vector graphics, so I went for Onyx.

They both run Linux but with proprietary user interfaces.

Hi Juan Manuel
My workflow is to create an HTML from the org file(s) and then generate an
EPUB2 file forthe reader (in my case Kobo or Cervantes Light) I have always
felt the rendition is much more confortable than PDF. Other readers may be
better suited for PDF.
Just my experience,
