I hope R3 gets released so this goes on sale, want it but the price is oof.

When I looked at it a few months ago: "$279? That's not too bad.. oh wait, that's for refurb. $299 new. Okay, still good. Wait what.. $129 for the pen, too? Hang on... $179 for the cover/case?!"

Talk about nickle and diming you.

My dream machine is an e-ink tablet that runs both KOReader as well as Zotero. Make that and I’ll buy it in a heartbeat. The perfect combo for a reader/academic.

Never going to buy subscription based hardware.

I am of the same opinion, I however don't know if this is a fitting label for this product.

If I read this correctly they offer an optional service called "Connect" where notes and sketches are stored in their cloud:

> Here’s what’s included with your reMarkable if you don't have a subscription: > > Google Drive, Dropbox, and OneDrive integration > > Access the most popular cloud storage services from your digital notebook with Integrations. Browse stored files, copy them to your reMarkable, and upload notes and documents directly to your Google Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive accounts from your paper tablet.

The even have a guide showing you how to setup these other services.

Sure it is still not optimal, it should be more hackable and people should be able to add their own cloud/syncing solutions if tou ask me, but this is not "subscription based hardware" by my standards.
