I'm curious: how does Amazon's foray into this sector affect anyone's feelings? Do people want a single-purpose device like this, or would they rather have a multi-purpose Kindle (or iPad, with more functionality but much less battery life)?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Our (multi billion dollar) company had to tell the exec "no" for these because of the weak security. They just dont seem to care. Other wise we would have hundreds in the business.
What kind of security are they lacking? I compare it with a notepad, which you lock away in a drawer when you don’t want people to access it.
We want to be able to restrict what gets synced to where. (eg, not dropbox or box or google etc)
We want to enforce passwords and screen time outs. We'd prefer to use intune to do this but are open to other possibilities etc etc
None of this is possible and remarkable don't seem interested in this.
I honestly cannot see the value in ReMarkable after the Kindle Scribe announcement. The kindle has a newer faster, 300dpi display vs 226dpi on the ReMarkable. I am waiting on reviews before ordering one for myself, but I can already see that Kindle Scribe is going to be disruptive for this segment.

I am one of the original kickstarter backers and got mine at a very favorable price compared to what they are selling it for now. As a original kickstarter backer they also provided me with a free tier for their subscription service so I am not paying anything extra to have full functionality, this is very important to me because I am not very excited of subscription based software features - remarkable please take n…
With regard to security, it seems to me that the most obvious comparison for the ReMarkable would be a paper notepad which would also be compromised if you had physical access? Saying this as a former ReMarkable owner (and kickstarter backer) who ended up only using the device as a notepad, after learning that I read in a non-linear fashion which doesn't work well on the relatively slow screen. And for notes, I ended…

I've had a Boox Note Air 2 since launch and I can't discern any drawing delay. It's fantastic to write / draw with.
Question from a fellow Note Air 2 user but is there any note taking app replacement that can do the handwriting recognition better than the default app? I'd like to recognize only part of the notes (not the entire page, if I write figures or math formulas that function blows it up ) so that my notes become searchable
Boox devices relentlessly phone home to IP addresses in China. This is in addition to syncing to alibaba cloud servers in Calofornia.
That and on top of the sneaky price increases as you purchase the product tells you that it is a great scam. The the full price of a new reMarkable 2 is $450 - $550+.
The features doesn't justify the price at all, making it an overpriced scam. You might as well get an iPad Mini at this point and it does much more for that price range.

I have an Onyx Boox e-ink writing device. While it also has a cloud service, it seems to be less necessary since it is just Android so you can just install whatever you need on it. I use Syncthing for this and it works fine.

Please refrain from ever mentioning anything positive about this company. Whataboutism in a tech support, GPL violations, constant pinging some server in China. It should be vilified.
On top of all of the above, security firmware updates for android are horribly non-existent, or very lagged.

Same here: waiting for reviews before I jump on the wagon. Although, my primary motivation is to read PDF documents, especially the 2-column ones, than the prospect of taking notes or drawing. I hope it won't disappoint.
This is a kindle for you, so why would this be different?
I’ve bought myself a reMarkable 2 with the approach that „I’m just getting an expensive toy” (ie not an everyday work tool, just a nice gizmo). And it’s been great, if a bit pricey. (On the flip side, I have a free subscription.) Some things I’ve used it for, so far: - To write handwritten.blog. - As a notebook. Nothing much to mention here. Being able to pick a page template (plain/dotted/lined/squared) is nice. - R…
This is so cool!
