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?
I have the Kindle DX, the original(ish) large eReader and it's slow enough to be pretty useless at reading tech docs - which is why I bought it. I'd love to be able to walk into a shop and try the Remarkable or similar out. I couldn't give a stuff about writing (though it's a nice secondary feature) - I do however want to be able to throw a tech manual at my e-Reader (say, an O'Reilly programming manual) and be able…
It's pretty expensive, but potentially worth it if you read a lot of technical books.
- no USB disk mode to download your notes
- 8 GB storage (of which about 6 are available)
- any Linux support seems to be nebulous/unofficial, especially because of point 1
- no search feature
- no backlight
- no landscape mode
Personally I've cancelled my pre-order, not worth the 450 GBP in my opinion.
>The company says it used a new textured resin layer on top of the glass to make writing on the reMarkable 2 feel more like writing on paper, which I don't buy. If anything, the original reMarkable's screen had a more pronounced, paper-like grittiness that doesn't come through here. That's hardly a dealbreaker, though, because writing on the r2 still feels absolutely fantastic, I think this one strikes a better balance of tactility and flow. [0]

PDFs can get massive when they're from scans. An e-Ink device should support better formats such as DJVU.
Would anyone here be interested in a eink phone running something like WebOS optimized for eink displays? I really feel WebOS was too early and PWAs make the barrier to entry much lower for a WebOS-like device.
Unfortunately 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 :(
One isn't really a substitute for the other unless all you do is write notes and read.
Interesting 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.
If combined with kindle I would definitely want one.
