I own the Sony DPT-RP1 and I love it because it’s 13” (US letter size paper is 13.5”). The R2 is 10.3”. Do peeps think smaller is better?
I 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…
I contacted their support about the openness of their device. This is their response in case others are interested: Aug 28, 2020, 3:44 PM GMT+2 Hello there. Users can gain root access to the device by using SSH, so the device is open for developing your own software. The GPL and LGPL version 3 requires us to give users access to their own devices. It's part of the anti-tivoization clauses in the licenses. A lot of ou…
Some of the projects on https://github.com/reHackable talk about having to be re-installed after upgrades, and other unfriendly vendor behaviour (e.g. https://github.com/reHackable/scripts/wiki/webui_invincibili...), which is slightly worrying, it'd be more assuring if they had better support for 3rd party software, or at least just a webpage saying "yes you can install 3rd party software, but note that it's not preserved over upgrades". The company I work for also sells a linux box, allows 3PS, and does have such a web page. Such a webpage might also cater to all the other people here commenting that their marketing dept is ignoring us.
I want to be able to load up the homepage of TheVerge.com and browse as I would on any other device, except with text that's as easy to read as if it were on paper. I'd have to use paged scrolling, and images would be black-and-white, but that would be okay—they'd be crisp and clear.
This tablet is close to what I want, but it doesn't look like the software is there. (Or maybe it's hardware too—is one gigabyte of ram enough for a web browser these days if you don't use multiple tabs?)

I'd love an eInk terminal actually!! Or even an eInk laptop. Would be great to work on some code in the sun.
I've been chasing that dragon for years. Just look at the video hosted http://davisr.me/projects/parabola-rm and imagine a terminal app that was actually optimized around eInk (and using an external keyboard). I remain convinced that it could be completely usable for non GUI work.
Emacs in '-nw' mode uses mostly black/white, with external keyboard via USB OTG.

> It is marketed as a sketch/note pad and that's about it. The e-reader feature is like the youtube functionality on a Switch. It's there because "lolwhynot" and little more. I personally disagree with this. I almost bought one because I wanted a good notebook and a lot of notes I write these days is specifically related to ebooks and pdf documentation that I work against. I almost ordered one after seeing this post.…
Take a look at Onyx Boox gen. "2" devices, Nova 2 and esp. Max 2, may be interesting to you. (Not affiliated.)
Does anyone have any opinions on this vs. the Sony Digital Paper?
I have the 13.3 inch Digital Paper but not the ReMarkable. The A4 size is great for reading Magazines and Journals. The writing experience is good but the stylus does not support pressure sensitivity. One feature that stands out: split screen, i.e. one side as a reader and the other side for taking note. By the way, the stylus supports erasing and highlighting. I wish it supports EPUB (PDF-only reader). Was intereste…
I've been interested in eink displays and eink readers for a long time. Kindle owner since version 1. But... Is the ReMarkable really worth $500 ($400 + the $100 pencil which seems like a requirement)? For that amount you're getting a low end iPad which has greatly wider use cases. I understand that for the "paper on pencil" feel an iPad is no where near... but then again you can also just write using real paper and…
If you like to read outside in the sun, then an iPad is not an option. This is where eInk shines, in my opinion. I have a Kindle and it’s so enjoyable to read on in full sunlight. Exactly the opposite of an iPad (or any light-emitting display for that matter).

Thanks, this was the question I had before purchasing, if they might decide to pull a Tivo in a future software update and kill off everything on https://github.com/reHackable . I mean, with enough resources they could replace everything with non-GPL3 licenses then lock it down, but that doesn't look likely, so I think I will go ahead and buy this.
