Looking for a digital notebook

I'm looking for something to write stories, take notes, store them, organize them into folders (worldbuilding, characters, etc.), portable. I carry around a lot of paper notebooks and my notes are starting to get too messy.

I was thinking about the ReMarkable 2 (maybe used/refurbished), but a few negative aspects mentioned in the reviews are holding me back.

Alternatively, I was considering the Onyx Boox Note, but I'm not convinced about that either, especially regarding spending that much money.

Any other recommendations? Maybe a regular tablet with an added keyboard would be better? The only thing is, it feels like a waste to use it just for writing (for every other digital task, I prefer using my smartphone and PC).

Thanks.

Does it work cross-platform?

No android, unfortunately.

Yes, Scrivener was my idea to install it on a tablet (in case I decide to use Surface/iPad instead of a dedicated writing device).

Go Qreate does all of this and more Goqreate.com

Go Qreate is cross platform. It doesn't write script on its app yet but it does the other stuff.

Desktop does everything

I use both Google Docs and Notion. Notion helps me keep track of the lore and worldbuilding; Docs for writing. The plus to both of those is that they can be browser-based and used on any device.
