But no mention and video evidence of the pen input lag and precision, which is what's supposed to set this apart from other eink display solutions. The 1 has some lag, just enough to still be a nuisance: did the 2 fix that?

Yes, apparently it only has a latency of 21ms

I've been holding off on buying it until handwritten text recognition works on device without sending the data to the cloud. I had hoped it would have happened by now, but it looks I'm gonna have to wait a while longer.

If I didn't misunderstand the keyknote, iPadOS 14 supposedly does handwriting recognition on the device.

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

Well, it’s $399, which is very different price point than an iPad Pro with Apple pencil. They detail some other advantages, like the texture of the surface, though we can’t evaluate that without getting one in hand. It’s a much more focused device, which is a pro and a con. Personally, I’ll stick with my iPad Pro, but I hope this is actually good and successful.

I put a textured surface on my iPad Pro to great effect. It's one of those stick-on "screen protector" affairs. I find it much nicer if you predominantly use the Apple pencil (Procreate, etc.). I haven't yet tried it with the new handwriting recognition in iOS.

Bullshit EULA. https://support.remarkable.com/hc/en-us/articles/36000028275... https://github.com/reMarkable

What about it is BS? It's 100 pages shorter and less weird than most other EULAs I've seen. (Probably because EULAs are basically unenforceable in Norway)

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Did you look at this product? It has an e-ink display. That makes it very different from an Ipad.

Yeah, the correct question is probably how it competes with something like Kindle. The presentation made me fairly intrigued.

It probably doesn't spy on your reading habits the way a Kindle does.

When this device has an e-ink colour display then I would purchase it. Until then: No Thanks and No deal. EDIT: Not only that, Remarkable 2.0 and 1.0 are not even 64 bit and still use 32 bit processors in 2020. Completely pointless to use beyond 2038. Like I said, wait for e-ink colour and 64 bit or don't bother.

I agree with you. Don't understand why people are downvoting your observation though.

Because the required hardware technology does not exist.

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...

Same question, but for sheet music... Would be amazing to hook this up to a pedal to turn pages, or some even more advanced MIDI-USB solution...
