This Wired buying guide rounds up the best digital notebooks tested for 2026, aimed at anyone wanting to combine the feel of handwriting with the convenience of digital storage and organisation. The reviewer highlights that E Ink-based devices offer a more paper-like writing experience than tablets or note apps, while helping users retain ideas without losing notes or burning through paper.

The top picks include the ReMarkable Paper Pro (£629/$629) as the overall best choice, praised for its colour screen, 10.8-inch display, adjustable ambient screen light and accessory ecosystem, and the Amazon Kindle Scribe 2nd Gen ($400) as a personal favourite for its battery life and convenience. Other featured options include the Kobo Libra Colour ($260) as best for books and the ReMarkable Paper Pure ($399) as the budget pick. The guide also covers organisational features such as tagging, cloud syncing via services like Google Drive and Dropbox, a ReMarkable Connect subscription ($3/month), and beta tools including handwriting search and template libraries.
