Just to confirm, when you say, "better than anything else out there," that includes the latest generation of iPad Pro with Apple Pencil 2, correct?
It's better than any e-ink device for sure and it's competitive with the iPad Pro. I think the latter now has somewhere around 15-20ms of lag? So it's close. But honestly they're different devices. Similar in many ways of course but different too. I don't think it's really apples to apples.
IpadOS cut pencil latency to 9ms.

#393Priced at 399 in USD, EUR and GBP. As usual, most expensive in the UK.
Well, at least the weak pound is doing it’s best to minimise your pain ;)

#394I 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.
That's the deal-breaker for me as well. I'm always resizing PDF's so that the text is a legible size (neither too small or big), and therefore scrolling across larger pages, and the smoothness of a tablet is necessary.
I've tried reading PDF's on my Kindle, but it's just so frustrating to navigate around the page. But the iPad is perfect.

#395I've been considering this but I'm not sure if it fits my use case.
My main thing would be reading pdf's - specifically with Polar (https://getpolarized.io/ ). I use it for keeping track of notes/annotations and syncing across devices. Does anyone know if it would work with ReMarkable?
(Or does anyone have a Polar alternative?)

#396Would 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.
There have been many attempts to find the right phone interface for eink displays. So far, I like the Light Phone 2 the best; it runs a version of Android that's totally stripped down to have a streamlined set of features that work well on eink. https://www.thelightphone.com/
To me the main benefit of an e-Ink display is the ability to read it for hours without eye strain. Judging by the size of the Light Phone's screen, it seems that the only benefit there is battery life.

#398i use ipad pro with some sort of 'paperlike' screen protector. Feels like writing on paper to me.
So other than supposedly reducing eyestrain( is this a proven claim?). What is the benefit?

Everyone I know that has it uses it for note taking, pdf reading and drawing simple diagrams. Unless you're buying it do draw art I wouldn't buy it based on it's merit of drawing art.
the thing doesn't even support Adobe DRM Epub... what a waste of opportunity!
To be fair DRM is a waste of opportunity. If I buy a book, movie, or album I want to use it however I choose as long as it doesn't breach copyright laws.
I've been burned too many times by DRM'd content that stops working after a service/app update, is useless when the company goes out of business, or when it works on one of my devices but not another.

Same boat lol. Saw the open-source comments and decided to buy one so I could make a sheet-music reader that changes pages automatically using facial cues from an ESP32-CAM
I'm slightly astonished (have been for a while) at the fact that no-one (as far as I know) have developed a Guitar Hero style e-ink sheet-music reader. Imagine how much easier you'd make life for kids learning how to play music! Software and hardware wise, it's got to be well within the realm of feasibility.
The Kala Ukulele app is a chords only version of this. It also includes videos showing how to play each section, and it plays accompaniment into your headphones as you play along.
I found it super helpful, and I believe it's based on technology originally developed for teaching guitar.
Not sure if it's open for programming your own songs in or not, and much of the library is behind a paywall.
