Not trying to shill too hard, but it's rare I fall in love with a device the way I've fallen in love with my Remarkable 2. I can't say it was 100% worth the price (half was paid as a gift), but everything about it is refreshingly elegant and simple. Great to know recovering from a brick is possible too.
I'm just waiting for them to release a bigger one. I want either US letter or A4 size.
I bricked the reMarkable 2 within a day or two of receiving the device. And since then it's been laying in the cupboard. I'm grateful for the recovery write up by ddvk, but I'd really wish Remarkable would make it a bit easier. I understand it's not their problem, but looking through the physical recovery flow is sadly utterly confusing if one isn't already a seasoned geek. They really should provide the SSH password…

My main gripe is lack of direct bookmarking of pages in ebooks or even listing jump links to highlighted areas. I like writing on it but also want to use for reading large ebooks, highlighting important info, and keeping notes in context. Not realistic to do that if have to scroll through all pages.
I installed koreader and I'm quite happy with reading long books that way.
I use 2 pages view in landscape mode. It's better, still does not provide the comfort Kindle Paper White offers.
Also some back/frontlight could be helpful.
Can I use this as an ssh terminal to login to my development machine? I wonder if the display latency would make it non-starter for this usecase.

I’m in the same boat. Due to security restrictions of my employer I can’t use cloud services to store work related stuff. I was really bummed when I discovered that a lot of the interesting features of my RM2 require their cloud service. I’ve dug through the GitHub repos of RM2 hacks and open source tools that are available, but it still feels like I’m missing out.
Can you not just use it as is? I have not connected to a WiFi yet and you can sync to your own cloud. I guess you do need a way to get the docs on the device. Their sync process is weird.

Would you mind sharing a bit about you use case? Do you use it for any sketching or artwork or primarily notes/etc?
I also use it for annotating and displaying PDFs as well as sheet music when practicing piano. I don't read many eBooks on it because I have a smaller Kindle which has a light, making it more versatile when I'm in the mood for reading.
Hope this helps!
I work part-time for my university's help desk and I was both impressed and disappointed the first time I came across one of these--one the one hand, its highly customizable and supports SSH access. On the other hand, there is shockingly no way to get the MAC address without connecting via SSH, even though this is popular among academics who often need to get onto MAC filtered networks. In hindsight, we probably coul…

I was under the impression that having the MAC address on the device's label was some kind of regulatory requirement for Wifi - I have never seen a wireless device without it.
