My concern has been that there is no support for micro sd card and local storage is just 8GB which is quite small.

Re: ReMarkable 2.0 – A digital notebook that feels like paper
#82I recently bought the ReMarkable 1 (wasn't willing to wait for preorder on the 2, and the differences don't look that significant). I kinda love it: I'm a professor, and 99% of my use is in reading article PDFs---it's a vastly better experience than reading on an eyestrain-inducing glossy screens or printing off. One major annoyance, though, is that it's clunky to switch between documents---I like to take notes in a…
It must be heaven for Math teachers and professors. No more mounds of discarded paper. I'm sure they use tablets already, but the look and feel of writing figures on an iPad isn't as nice as epaper.

#83Earlier quoted context omitted.
Running Emacs on it would be cool. - Can‘t do it on my expensive iPad Pro.
I'm planning on trying to do that as soon as I get mine. Being able to use org mode and org roam would be a huge plus.
Can we imagine this device to be something like a mix between the Kindle reader combined with a tablet running Linux?

#84When 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 can see the argument for color, but I'm curious why, for its intended use-case, 32/64 matters?

#85How 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.
Does it support epub?
Re: ReMarkable 2.0 – A digital notebook that feels like paper
#86Interesting feature set but I don't see much value getting it if you already have iPad with Apple Pencil. There are several apps including Apple Notes that convert handwritten text to digital text. Also it doesn't replace a Tablet so will be another gadget taking space. I would rather wait for iPad or another full fledged Tablet to get some of these features.
Re: ReMarkable 2.0 – A digital notebook that feels like paper
#87Unfortunately I had to buy an iPad (first apple product I buy ever) for my girlfriend since she needs an app (for work, she's a teacher) that only runs in iOS.
I say unfortunately because I would have bought a ReMarkable instead :(

#89But 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?
The display is marketed as twice as fast as the 1
Re: ReMarkable 2.0 – A digital notebook that feels like paper
#90This looks so nice, and I've been desperate for years for a great, fast-refreshing e-ink device and/or monitor, but the closed ecosystem is so disappointing. Their 'avoid distractions' marketing is fine and good, but locking down the device makes it a non-starter for me. At the very least I'd need a feed reader I can use (without some workaround where I send stuff through the "remarkable cloud"). Am I reading things…
Yes you can log in and run code. There is a proprietary driver for the fast screen refresh but everything else is open.
