3. They do not talk about security in their demo video. Don't know how they save what I write. Encryption / password / backup etc.,
I didn't know about this before I bought an iPad. I recently added a paper-textured screen protector (similar to Paperlike) and now I can't stop using it. I really recommend it for those who have an Apple Pencil - its great
Which screen protector do you recommend? Also, does using such paper-textured protector decrease the life of Apple pencil?

Their support page does imply if you want to avoid cloud sync you should keep it offline, but perhaps that is just because it is the most brief/user friendly way to describe the situation. There definitely isn't an explicit option to turn off the cloud sync in the device settings, but I wouldn't be surprised if there are workarounds to this once you ssh in. You could also maybe block internet access to the device via…
The cloud sync requires an account, which the device works fine without. So just don't sign up. I think I'm missing out on features I don't care about, like OCR and emailing docs to people, but it's well worth it.

It's better than any e-ink device for sure and it's competitive with the iPad Pro. I think the latter now has somewhere around 15-20ms of lag? So it's close. But honestly they're different devices. Similar in many ways of course but different too. I don't think it's really apples to apples.
IpadOS cut pencil latency to 9ms.

You should check out Rocksmith. Its guitar hero with real guitar, pretty cool stuff. I don't see how a scrolling format like guitar hero would fit the slow refresh rate of an e-ink display, but perhaps you imagine something different.
Absolutely love that toy, unfortunately they stopped producing DLCs for it some time ago to do something else... I wonder what that is.

It's funny how your comment immediately makes me want to buy it, because the description on the site with all these silly photos and such for some reason got me thinking like "looks kinda nice, but since it's obviously something very Apple-like, it will be as restrictive as it gets, I won't be able to use it without some obligatory shitty web-account and I probably even won't be able to read *.cbz comics on it, so...…
Same here last time ReMarkable came up. Saw the marketing page and really liked the hardware and expected it to be locked down, so moved on to reading the comments. Bunch of comments describing how it's open, runs linux and you can basically just ssh into it and run stuff. Made a pre-order right there and then and now waiting for it. I think we're simply such a small user-base that they don't think to include it on t…

I'm in the middle of my PhD and switched from printing papers to reading them on my iPad roughly two years ago. There are some things I miss from paper but overall I found the pros to overweight the cons. I haven't found that flipping back and forth on iPad is that horrible, to be honest. Not sure how helpful this will be but I'll share what I've been doing for now. I use the following apps: * Mendeley (to organize p…
Let me know what you think about Polar: https://getpolarized.io/ We launched about a year ago and are REALLY close to a 2.0 release.
