I use it only as a reader, so can’t comment on notes.
As a reader, it’s great. I love that the backlight has color temperature control, so I can adjust the white/red balance depending on the time of day.
Koreader is pretty good software. It took some time to identify and configure my preferred settings. My only gripe is with “discoverability” of my library. Koreader has a very basic file selector, and I wish I could search titles, metadata, etc without needing another program (probably calibre?).
Battery life is definitely not as good as your proprietary ereader. If I leave it suspended at 100% charge, the battery dies in 3-4 days if bluetooth and wifi is on, and maybe 7-8 if they’re off. Meanwhile, my old nook could go several weeks without usage.
My least favorite part is anything related to typing. The screen keyboard feels unresponsive at times, which is hard when you’re typing passwords in a terminal session. For any shell work I connect to a TTY over USB, or I have a little bluetooth keyboard.

Thank you so much for taking the time to answer and give your experience!
I think I will definitely be getting one!
