For me a big problem is that a lot of the things I want to save, mark up, and revisit (archive or search or share) are articles from webpages or PDFs - neither of which this eInk display is practical for.
PDFs work fine. I converted many Kindle books to PDF and sent them to the remarkable via their cloud API. I don't do it much but writing notes on PDF pages works fine.
Very excited to see a polished device that is linux based that isn't hostile to developers trying to do cool stuff.
But no mention and video evidence of the pen input lag and precision, which is what's supposed to set this apart from other eink display solutions. The 1 has some lag, just enough to still be a nuisance: did the 2 fix that?
I ordered Remarkable 1.0 six months ago, used it for a few days before deciding to return it. I submitted a request to return and was supposed to get DHL to pick it up but it never happened. I was left feeling they really don't want you to return.

It doesn't support any of the proprietary ebook formats, but it does display PDFs wonderfully and I use mine often this way. I also export trip itineraries, lists, project files and so on to PDF and keep them on my ReMarkable. It's handy for that.
Does it support epub?
> The reMarkable paper tablet supports the open ebook format EPUB without DRM, a format available with many ebook retailers.
> Some ebooks are DRM-protected (Digital Rights Management), which the reMarkable does not support at this time.
> The Amazon Kindle ecosystem is not open to third parties, so you can't read Kindle books directly on the reMarkable.

I recently bought the ReMarkable 1 (wasn't willing to wait for preorder on the 2, and the differences don't look that significant). I kinda love it: I'm a professor, and 99% of my use is in reading article PDFs---it's a vastly better experience than reading on an eyestrain-inducing glossy screens or printing off. One major annoyance, though, is that it's clunky to switch between documents---I like to take notes in a…
It must be heaven for Math teachers and professors. No more mounds of discarded paper. I'm sure they use tablets already, but the look and feel of writing figures on an iPad isn't as nice as epaper.

Yes, apparently it only has a latency of 21ms
But as humans, would we notice 21ms lag while writing even if we paid close attention?

When this device has an e-ink colour display then I would purchase it. Until then: No Thanks and No deal. EDIT: Not only that, Remarkable 2.0 and 1.0 are not even 64 bit and still use 32 bit processors in 2020. Completely pointless to use beyond 2038. Like I said, wait for e-ink colour and 64 bit or don't bother.
If not, why would you apply it to this device?
