Aren't all e-readers tiny? I want an A4 sized one (with a stylus for taking notes and scribbling).

There are A4 e-readers. Bamboo note for example.

Yes I've seen one. Maybe there are more now than when I looked, but at that time there weren't enough to be able to make a choice as a consumer.

Onyx Boox has the Note Air 3(10in) and the Tab X(13in). They aren't cheap though, $400 and $900 respectively, mostly because of how expensive those large eInk screens are.

Well an A4 is over 14" diagonally. A 13" might do but 10" doesn't qualify imo. And yeah the one I saw was stupid expensive.

Inkplate 10 is not tiny (10"). I'd prefer larger but it's a start, and fairly affordable. I might get one sometime.
