It’s really refreshing when someone in business actually embraces the open standards that brought us here.
Have they really embraced it though? Or this is an undocumented debugging port which may go away in a future software update?
It's not going away in a future software update :)
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…
Also pumped to see them officially releasing a Chrome extension to send to reMarkable. Long overdue. It doesn't look like it's out yet, so here's a link to the unofficial version I made last year (used by over 700 other reMarkable owners):

Reflective displays have the advantage of perfectly adapting their brightness to their surroundings. This is especially useful for portable devices. Emissive displays can have light-sensor-controlled brightness, but they don't adapt pixel by pixel like reflective displays. However, if you are using an emissive display in an environment with constant and even lighting, you can set the brightness correctly and it will…
> have the advantage of perfectly adapting their brightness to their surroundings. The surroundings might not be lit enough for the health of eyes. This is the usual case and one of the prime issues why dead tree books and e-paper tablets lead to weak eyes.
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?
As for the previous one (single page scribble) then I found in the past that I usually have a new single page each day on my desk for tasks minor notes of that page and it's now replacing it - this is its main usage.

From the video, it looks to me like they're pressing the stylus fairly hard on the tablet, I wonder what's up with that. Also, I wish they were able to use an e-paper with a faster refresh rate, like ClearInk claims to be (see e.g. https://youtu.be/kE_byDwLjxk?t=34 ). That said, it seems to look quite attractive as is already.
I do pointed pen calligraphy and various penamanship styles and I can tell you that the remarkable tablet requires VERY, VERY little pressure to register a stroke. It takes almost no modification for me to get the fine delicate linework required for Spencerian for example.
Where does one do that?

There's evidence that lack of exposure to sunlight increases risk of myopia. But emissive displays are typically dimmer than sunlit objects, even at full brightness. If insufficient brightness is a concern, you're better off using reflective displays outdoors.

I've had my Remarkable for a little over two years also and it's easily my favorite tech gadget. Occasionally I'd go from regular work (notes on a project file), to a business or client meeting (pull up notes from past meetings, update with new notes), to a volunteer meeting after work (pull up the previous week's training notes). At each point I had all the information I needed without having to juggle binders or lo…
The only things I would like are slightly longer battery life and more options for syncing with other services like Dropbox etc
