I found the My Deep Guide youtube channel to be a really good source of reviews when I was choosing an eink tablet, here’s a link to his 2022 roundup.

I went with a Supernote A5X around 2.5 years ago. My usecase was for college to take lecture notes and to read academic papers/epubs. I went with the Supernote over the reMarkable for the software support: I really like the concept of reMarkable’s Linux-based OS and being able to use community mods, but it felt like I would need the mods to have all the features I wanted, while the Supernote wouldn’t allow for modification but would have everything I wanted built in. I’ve been satisfied with the writing and reading experience, customer support is responsive via email and Reddit, and OS updates have been adding new features without a subscription.

I’d love to try out Apple News, but as far as I can tell you can only access it on an Apple device, there’s no web access :(

This isn’t exactly what you’re going for since it isn’t automatic, but Apple is introducing NameDrop in iOS 17 which will allow you to share contact info by holding iPhones next to each other (similar to Bump back in the early 2010s). Of course NameDrop is closed to Apple devices which sucks (Android has Nearby Share, but it doesn’t default to sharing your contact), but the idea of being able to hold phones to each other to share contact info would be ideal for me - it’d be quick so I wouldn’t have to think about it and would be willing to do it for brief interactions, but also ensures my info is only shared with who I choose.
