Was in the same boat myself. Tried lots of different styluses, and was hoping that a new DX size kindle would come out. Recently I have been really happy with an iPad Pro and pencil since it's basically the size of a pad of paper! A Sony Ereader with wink was just released but it was basically the same price as the iPad Pro. :/
I think given those prices, I'll just get a wacom tablet for my macbook and use xournal. Does the ipad pro even have a decent eco system for note taking apps?
There's a few decent apps that I've enjoyed using. My favorite two are Notes Plus, and Notability. If anything the ecosystem is better than the Mac desktop. There's room to improve as neither Notes+ or Notability fully take advantage of the size and power of the iPad pro. Still, the shape of the tablet form makes it great for note taking -- even if it's more oriented toward student / business notes.
