#2I will wait for 2-3rd generation before buying it. I bought kindle early at $400 before it became a brick and I can just use my tablet/phone anyways. Remarkable has failed me twice. I am on fence with e Ink tablets. Perhaps it’s not for me.

#3I guess it is time for me to upgrade my Kindle Oasis (1st gen I assume), which I never use to this Kindle Scribe, which I also probably never going to use.
But the main issue with the Kindles was not being able to read PDF (technical books, technical articles), and I dreamed about the DX when it was available only in US, and I also did not have money to buy one. After I moved to US 13 years ago, the DX version was out of shelves. So, pretty excited to give Scribe a try!

How so? I have a Remarkable 2 (pre-cloud subscription) and really like it. What happened for you?

Wait... you can't read PDF's? This seems like insanity to me? Why would they not enable such a basic and fundamental feature?

#7Boox e-ink tabs do the same thing, but they're Android underneath so it's not locked down to Amazon and dependent on partnerships with Microsoft to add an export button.

You can, but it's a very unpleasant experience on the Kindle's small screen. The DX was much better at this because it could comfortably display a full page of a PDF without needing to scroll

Yet they're gonna sell millions of these as they did with any other Kindle. For a lot of people that's not a dealbreaker.
