I am curious - has anyone tried out these color e-ink Android tablets with some popular drawing/painting apps?

I have a reMarkable 2, which is decent for quick black & white sketching - but I really want a color e-ink tablet one day, and I want to make sure that color drawing and sketching works well with them.

    I have the onyx boox nova air c which has a stylus and color e ink screen. I don’t really use it for drawing though. The colors are pretty limited (think a faded old timey comic book). But the stylus response is good. I haven’t tried drawing apps but I can run pretty much any android app on it.

    I mostly use it for reading manga/webcomics, typing books, and reading. I’ve got it loaded up with a some Latin dictionaries so I can use it for language learning. The nova air c is an older model so maybe the color screen is better on the new ones lol.

    The color is nice, but for serious artists I can’t imagine the nova air c is sufficient.

      One of the reasons I want a colored eink is that I can finally starting to draw my slides instead of writing it.

      Although I have never tried a Wacom tablet connecting to my PC. I heard they have pretty good Linux support. Maybe that would suffice.
