You've already discovered the remarkable tablet so I'm just going to say that I'm a huge fan. I use it quite heavily for note taking. I can't recommend it enough. You may find second hand units for cheaper, since they've been around for a couple of years now and there exists a large majority of people who weren't really heavy paper users but bought it for the sake of novelty. That said, if your primary problem is going through a lot of books quickly and you cannot afford the remarkable, even a used one, you may want to consider something like: https://getrocketbook.com https://getrocketbook.com One of my colleagues uses it and seems to be pretty happy with it.

How does Remarkable compare with the new Sony e-ink tablet?

  I wouldn't know since I've not used one. I didn't even know that they had a new model of the DPT. Judging by a quick google though, I think the biggest difference is the display and touchscreen. The Sony appears to have a "Electrophoretic display" and a "Projected capacitive touchscreen" whereas the remarkable has a proprietary 'Canvas display' based on E-ink Carta -- all that to say, I can place my hand on the remarkable display and write / sketch / highlight ..etc. I'm not sure whether that is true of the DPT. The biggest problems with the writing on regular touchscreens is accidental unwanted 'writing' by your palm instead of the pen. edit: I should add that the remarkable runs linux and as such is pretty hackable. You can ssh into it and hack it in a number of interesting ways[1] if you're into that sort of thing. Although for my purposes just adding custom writing templates itself is worth the hack-ability.

I use Rocketbook daily, a simple idea but it works pretty well.
