(Super mild 6.0 alliance raid spoilers? Not sure how to mark spoilers).

My theory is that there'll be a new casting job and Krile will be our showcase character for it. I think they've said that Krile is going to be on our new scions-equivalent team in 7.0, and in the Euphrosyne raid story she wandered off and seemed to be poking around at natural power sources and had a line about how she felt weak and was hoping to get stronger. Something like a geomancer, maybe? Green mage, time mage? I don't think she'd ever be a physical combatant.

Then I bet we get a second job that can share Scouting gear, just so ninja isn't alone there.

Hm, I think most tablets could probably do margin notes and color coding somehow? I'm not sure if it's a specific program, but one of my players has her character sheet on an iPad and she colors all over it and erases it throughout the session to keep her hands busy. As a last resort you could open up the pdf in an art program and draw on top of it (which is where my mind goes since I use my tablet for art), but I would bet there are a lot of a dedicated notetaking or organizing apps that would allow it.

I literally can't keep the wireless earbuds in! I don't know if my ears are too small or weirdly shaped on the inside or what. Sometimes I can kind of wedge them in for a minute, but only by having them actively digging into the sides of my ear. That hurts and it still falls out as soon as I move my head.

My current phone doesn't have a micro SD card slot, but that's another improvement I would really like to have. I like to keep a lot of pictures and files on my phone and it would be great to be able to upgrade the storage as it fills up.

I may be one of the last hangers-on for this issue, but: my Android phone has a headphone port! That was non-negotiable for me last time I got a new phone. Earbuds do not stay in my ears, are super uncomfortable, and I don't want to charge a wireless headset or mess with an adapter all the time. I have cheap wired headphones for going out and about that I don't lose when they fall out because the wire catches them, and really nice wired headphones at home that are much better quality than wireless ones. My car also has a 3.5 mm hookup that sounds a lot better than Bluetooth audio.

Besides that: Having more customization and control. Firefox + adblockers and other extensions. ReVanced for YouTube. Easier access to the phone's storage and files. Being able to block ads adds so much quality of life.

Wanted to add that if you're looking at the Remarkable for the "feels like paper" feature, there are screen protectors you can get for tablets that replicate a similar effect. I use one of them with an iPad + Apple Pencil for digital art and I'm pretty happy with the feel.

It sounds like you could probably get by with an older, cheaper tablet to start if you're not sure about the price or if you'll really use it. Most notetaking and organizing tools don't need that much processing power.
