They announced a 2nd delay a few days ago. Hoping it’s the last.

Re: ReMarkable 2.0 – A digital notebook that feels like paper
#232Unfortunately 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 :(
Sounds like you made the right choice, the iPad serves many functions, while the Remarkable services a small subset.

#233I 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…
Is there any open source (DIY) hardware that goes with these APIs? Since $400 seems a little steep for a white screen I suspect it is possible to DIY similar hardware too. Any ideas?

#234Anyone have a remarkable 2, and have they been delivered? If unhappy can buy it from you.
I recall they said it would be shipping in August?
My slot says delivery in November.

#235I 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…
I was on the fence about this but the clunky zooming when reading PDFs made me decide not to get it. I think a tablet is better for browsing PDFs.
I just bought an Ipad Pro for this purpose and I love it. I have tons of PDFs open for research and I can annotate super easily.
Plus, I can draw, animate, and watch youtube on the same device. It's been quite nice.
I was going to get the ReMarkable, but am very happy with my Ipad

#236I highly suggest this Paperfeel screen protector for iPad Pro https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QMV54LY
I've heard these damage the pencil, is that not the case?
Re: ReMarkable 2.0 – A digital notebook that feels like paper
#237I've been looking at this or an ipad to use as a notepad and a reader for technical books. But then I take a deep breath and compare the price to the price of buying used books and keep going along with physical objects.
You can buy half a million sheets of paper for this price.

You can, with Parabola-rM. http://davisr.me/projects/parabola-rm
Really curious whether anyone’s actually used Parabola-rM often? It lacks support for Wi-Fi and the sdma port. Not sure what that leaves you to rely on for file transfers or much of anything. I can at least imagine a lack of networking as a plus though for lack of distractions.
SDMA isn't related to networking. As I mentioned here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24294868
The device is exposed over USB as a composite device, consisting of a virtual Ethernet port and a virtual serial port. Network communications may happen over that link, as well as SSH/SCP'ing files.
It also supports USB OTG, so one could plug in a libre-compatible Wi-Fi card and use that.

Historically the "current generation" of e-ink displays are notoriously annoying to hack on with devkits being expensive and waveforms being available only under NDA. This was true 5 years ago, not sure if it's still true.

Running Emacs on it would be cool. - Can‘t do it on my expensive iPad Pro.
It's not emacs, but I've been enjoying iVim (1) on my iPad Pro. With `:idocuments` I can edit files in Working Copy (it opens the Files picker).
I also copied my plugins (Goyo for focus, etc) and config from my linux box.
