I doubt it, unless the digital device is just an e-ink stylus type thing with at most MSPaint level capability, plus some data transfer features(Or maybe some different but similarly limited thing like extremely basic vector graphics) and it's tiny and has battery life long enough to forget about battery life.
I never got all that into paper, my low manual dexterity and spatial reasoning always made it seem just as much like a fight with the medium as it is a creative workout, but it seems like the key feature of paper is that it does not have any cues to suggest that maybe there is something else you could do with it, nor any past experience associations with the act of Crapscrolling.
For me, FreeCAD and Google Keep are kind of the pinnacle of digital creativity, it's like accessing a completely different mode of thought, since you can work with 3D objects without needing to be able to hold the state of them in your head, and Keep lets you just write, without a bunch of bogged down slowness or random glitches or wondering if sync will fail.
I also enjoy digital sculpting as with SculptGL for the same reason.
Minecraft seems to for many be the digital paper, or at least the digital Lego.
But for someone who's naturally decent with their hands none of it seems like it would be as exciting as paper, it's got a Vim-like appeal to those who know exactly what they want to make, have the skill to make it happen, and just want to be alone with their thoughts for a bit without distraction.
Maybe someday there will be something that has the core functionality of digital paper, but with a few extras added in ways that don't conflict with that.
Like, no straight line tool because the option might make you subconsciously have to make a choice of whether to use it or draw it freehand, and then you're thinking about the tool again, but you can select a region of screen and make it a hyperlink to something else, or attach a sound to it, or something else that's completely orthogonal and couldn't possibly "compete" with Just Drawing.
Maybe you could do basic animation, maybe you could have layers with different properties, like popup layers with "Only show when something in the area of a drawing on this layer is touched", or "Out of a 10 frame cycle, show this on these frames".
Maybe other similar tools would spring up for editing the same "Digital Sketchbook" that did have all the fancy extra tools to help you out, and people would need some discipline and honesty to choose which one actually made them most creative (I'm pretty sure I'd much prefer the "fancier" ones).
But it might be cool to see what can be done to make use of the possibilities of digital, without changing the paper like aspects and focusing on them separately.
