Poeple like the Remarkable 2 device for the feel more than anything else. They like the price of it less. I considered it but the dealbrekaer is that if you want to connect it to a PC and share what you are doing realtime in some screensharing when using conference software, you have to have a monthly subscription to some bullshit first. Fuck off.

consider an onyx boox. it's a pain in the ass actually figuring out the differences between their dozens of models, but i'm sure you can find something that works for you.
they run android and can work just like a full tablet. and you can side load anything you want, pdfs, epubs, and so on, through a usb drive, so you don't have to sync it to your computer or connect it to the internet at all. i sure as hell don't. i don't trust the device to have internet access, but it doesn't matter because it doesnt need it

if I can connect to a PC that is running the conference software, then it would do what I need
I suppose a WACOM graphics tablet with its own screen could work, though that is sort of way more than I really need, since I am not trying to make full coloar art or whatever

only if I can sketch on the fucker and have it connected to a PC that replicates the screen in real time so I can screen share in conference as I sketch a cock with ballsack pubes
they need to see each pube as it is drawn, not BAM sudden pubes all over

oh, i didn't actually read what you were looking for in the OP, so just assumed you wanted an e-reader. but with what you're looking for, i'd say you should stay away from e-ink. it's really not suited for real-time updating although the tech has gotten better over the years, it'll be needlessly expensive for what you're trying to do since you don't seem to be specifically looking to make use of the benefits of e-ink, specifically low-power and readability/eye comfort.
just get a wacom tablet or any tablet really. they aren't that expensive and probably the cheapest ones you can find will do what you need. most of them just simulate a mouse so they integrate nicely and shouldn't need to install a whole bunch of bullshit to work. on ubuntu, these days you can just plug in a wacom tablet and it'll work immediately. i suspect it's just as easy on other platforms.
just start up a paint program and share your screen. simple as

there are also full computer monitors you can buy that you can draw directly on with a stylus. some digital artists use them a lot, but probably way overkill for what it sounds like you want and also probably needlessly expensive (i'd suspect, i've never looked into getting one).
i'd just get a wacom tablet. you can get a new one for less than $40

have you used a wacom tablet before? you might think you need to see what you're drawing on the tablet itself, but i think you'll find that you don't. you would think that it'd be hard for the brain to draw and have the results appear elsewhere and for it to make sense of that, but you do that all the time when you use a mouse, effortlessly even.
the problem with drawing with a mouse is not that you aren't seeing the results right underneath the mouse. the problem is it uses your wrist muscles for movement which are not as well-controlled or precision-oriented as the fingers. using a tablet solves that and i've found having the results displayed underneath the stylus, like a real writing utensil, was never the problem. my handwritting, drawing and everything look the same with a tablet and a real pen. the transition is completely trivial.

There's the Lenovo Thinkbook Plus Gen 4. Who knows if it would work out for you, but it's a laptop with an E-ink touchscreen display on the back of the OLED display and you can twist it around to be the main display.

Also, don't listen to the Wacom poster. There's a considerable learning curve to drawing on one that doesn't have a display. He's a poorfag, the good ones have a screen or even an entire portable computer inside. The good ones. If you go Wacom, get a good one.

I also notice there are Supernote machines that currently require a shared Wifi network to do the job, where they generate an URL for the device and you have to use a browser to get the screen mirror -- maybe later they'll come up with simpler Bluetooth pairing or even simpler, through USB connection.
