This is what I was looking for and their website fails to mention it on the landing page, at least. Would you know of any Emacs/org-mode extensions for this device? Thank you for sharing!
You are my spirit animal. I just got a polar/readwise/orgmode/Anki setup together and I'd love to use this.
After reading an in-depth review from GoodEReader [1], I concluded that an iPad, although not with an ePaper display, could also function as a regular tablet with access to a ton of apps. This was something that the ReMarkable was not able to do. The ReMarkable tablet does allow you to have SSH access though, as noted by other comments here.
Just my 2c, if you are also looking at this for a paper replacement.

Terrible link, the actual reMarkable website is much better. It's a very niche device but I've owned mine for nearly two years and am a big advocate. In some ways, the first model was proof of concept. Excellent hardware and writing experience, but the early versions of the software were horrible, and the device itself is very ugly. The software has improved dramatically in the time I've owned it, going from horrible…

I'm using this $13 "NEWYES 12" LCD Writing Tablet Digital Drawing Tablet Handwriting Pads Portable Electronic Tablet Board ultra-thin Board with pen" As a better paper, without any distractions, works well!! I have one at work, on my desk, I have one for each kid doing maths with them on it, it's awesome. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32922602355.html?spm=a2g0o.p...
I presume you can save your notes somewhere externally, but it's not apparent from the product description. Is it doable, easy and, most importantly, reliable?
Came close to buying one last year, but went for an iPad Air instead as they are cheaper and more versatile.
While I’d still love an e-ink display, I found a screen protector for the iPad that has a paper-like texture and makes it significantly nicer to draw on.

The huge downside is being unable to erase any part of the screen without erasing the entire screen - so by the end of a long brainstorming session I have lots of scribbled out parts and lines directing the eye to follow my flow.
I desperately want something like the remarkable2, but I just can't bring myself to spending $800CDN (for the package) as a replacement for paper or the "Boogie Board"!

Well, you can take a photo of them. This is not a digital device, it's based on pressure sensitive liquid crystals. Electricity is only used to clear the display.
But I already have Onyx Boox for my note-scribbling-on-e-ink needs, and if push comes to shove, I can run termux from there :D

It looks amazing. My concern is that it's around $500. That's about the price of an iPad and Apple pencil. Is it really worth the asking price?
