It seems that the 3rd gen of Quaderno is finally here. I'm excited that Fujitsu continues this line of products, which is excellent for academic use, not so much about the Kaleido 3 screen, that compromises the black and white contrast for washed colours. Still a good news!

I'm not super familiar with these.

What makes them great for academic use?

The main thing is how focused it is on handling pdf. It does not rely on a specific file format like reMarkable for annotations, that need then to be exported to a flattened pdf file. The annotations are native, thus editable, cross-platform (highlights can be extracted in Zotero for instance, and Zotero's full pdf collection can be synced with the tablet), etc, it is much cleaner for bibliographic work. The A4 model is also a plus for many people. Then, every other distracting feature are basically stripped out (lacking crop margins though), and you get these light and specialized tablets. My only wish for these devices would be some repairability (replaceable battery) and open software (or at least a better Linux support).
