I co-work with an architect who loves his ReMarkable 1. He'll do initial sketches on it, keep meeting notes, read contract docs etc on it, and so on.
It's an ideal "work support" device for what he does, vs an iPad which can do everything _if_ you find a good app, but still won't do those things as well, and is full of distractions like notifications and other anti-productivity cruft.
That makes sense. I supposed professions with lots of contracts or similar documents could benefit from "reading and note taking like paper" experience.
To be fair, the iPad is only as anti-productive as you want to make it. The default is distracting, but those notifications can easily be turned off or not installed.
iPad has a remarkable number of Pro apps for note taking, drawing, architecture, design, and so on. There are screen protectors that try to create the paper feeling for the screen. I love my Apple for drawing and note taking
