I'm wondering if there is an application that can be installed on a Kindle to provide a similar interface, it will be a game changer. Any thoughts?

I have been very happy with my ReMarkable 1, and have ordered the ReMarkable 2.0. Hacker News might be interested in the active development community around the device: https://github.com/reHackable/awesome-reMarkable The device is open. It's just an embedded linux device. You can ssh into it, and run arbitrary code. The SDK is based on Qt. You can also connect a keyboard to it over a USB-on-the-go port. I have been…

Case in point, this thread about running Parabola as OS on the reMarkable was also on the front page today: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24294176

Any reason why should i buy it instead of iPad Pro 2020 or recently announced Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 plus ?

It features a distraction free OS and an eInk display. That lack of distractions and specialized goal is the reason to buy it.

Apples and oranges. If you are writing/drawing a lot on paper, you might find this very useful.

Remarkable haven't yet delivered the 2.0 device. Let's first see when it appears on the market. I has been delayed twice so far. So far it's in "pre-order" mode.

Anybody know how to do MS OneNote integration? I have many years' worth of content there and use on multiple OS's, so I'd rather stay there than use their internal note-taking app, or at least be able to do import/export.

They offer a companion app for mobile and desktop so you might want to move your reMarkable contents to OneNote when you are done editing. The device is also hacker friendly so you could probably just plug some APIs to export to OneNote automatically

Doesn't look like the desktop app has any OneNote import/export functionality, so yeah looks like DIY project.

Do you still have to replace the pencil tips often and are they still expensive?

How good is a ReMarkable as an ebook reader? I don't care that much about the writing, but having a large size ebook reader that can display A4 pdfs in acceptable quality would be a game changer for me...

It doesn't support any of the proprietary ebook formats, but it does display PDFs wonderfully and I use mine often this way.

I also export trip itineraries, lists, project files and so on to PDF and keep them on my ReMarkable. It's handy for that.
