$500... that was still of interest. Until I saw that the pen is not included in the price. And then the price of the pens -$170 for the version with an eraser (how could you use it without!?). I'm always adding a leather case to my devices too, and this didn't disappoint either - I'll never think my Kindle leather cases as expensive again. If ordered, a cool $956 delivered. So this isn't happening, what a rip off tho…
> how could you use it without just don’t make mistakes
I very much liked your response. :)

#53Having a subscription is fine.
Having a garbage free tier is not.
Basic things you can't do in free tier: - export your documents (email is the only high quality export, today, going through the app exports PNGs at half resolution) - have a warranty on your device (the ToS was changed to give warranty only to Connect customers)
Sure. Let's say you can sell handwriting conversion and screenshare. Maybe. But ugh, they combined so many dick moves in 1... I doubt they'll get enough new customers anytime soon.
I no longer recommend the platform, have told everyone considering to get one the news and my thoughts. They agree and immediately started looking at competitors.
Re: Remarkable starts implementing subscription plans for its cloud features
#54A lot of comments talk aboue being disappointed and all, but id rather pay for cloud services than have my data sold to merchants and marketeers. Meanwhile, I have syncthing and gocryptfs installed on my remarkable 2 and have blocked all telemetry domains with the hosts file. If i wanted to, I could even disable xochotl completely (however you spell it). This is all good and shows that they respect their customers. W…
How do you convert the .rm to usable files? I tried it a couple of months ago, and that was the problem (unknown stroke types etc)...

Is this even legal anywhere?
Re: Remarkable starts implementing subscription plans for its cloud features
#59I've been entertaining either a Remarkable2 or a Boox Note Air, but with remote-work over the last year it's been much less compelling. Plus here in Australia we pay a significant premium for these types of devices - f.e. they're advertising the remarkable2 with Connect for USD$299 - but for Australians it's AU$499 (~ US$366). On top of the death by a thousand cuts that is yet another subscription service, the AU ver…

Either rM pen also supports tilt and pressure. Still fairly expensive though

#60I understand the need to increase revenue, but to have basic functionally behind a paywall… no thanks. I will stick to standard tablets.
