If it were some more reasonable spec than 24" 1920 x 1080 I would be far more interested.
That being said, Full HD at that size (and even at 27”) is still a fairly common resolution on the desktop.
I have one of these and I'm just about ready to give it away. The problem is it doesn't fit a use case that I don't have better solutions for. I've found that writing on the screen makes me prefer paper; reading on the screen makes me prefer books. I wanted to like the DC-1 but every time I use it something feels off. Maybe that's partly because I don't enjoy the Android experience.
Hard pass. I have an android tablet laying around, and never use it.
A Linux version / polished installable rom would make it compelling for me, especially if it included stuff from the kindle jailbreak community. Other than that, the ability to ssh, a shell with apt or apk, running vs code, and a web browser would cover a big chunk of my daily driver requirements. Bonus points for docker.

It’s a hen and egg problem. There is little investment in the technology, because few people buy it. That being said, Full HD at that size (and even at 27”) is still a fairly common resolution on the desktop.
> For some reason every bluetooth keyboard I have tried so far glitches every so often and sends double or triple keys or occasionally the same key a couple dozen times with no way to stop it from happening. This would make the device unusable to me. I wonder if others have had the same issue? Fundamentally, I need typing to be reliable. I guess this probably doesn’t happen via USB keyboards?
What draws me to use this device is that it creates a sense of "roominess," allowing me to lean back and consume, write, and engage in a non-aggressive way. This quality is something I miss in my other devices.
The monochrome display makes playing Wordle harder :).

This topic is very subjective IMO. Some love the glossy screens, others the matte ones. And this is really what it comes down to for me. I would try getting a chance to view the difference in person before deciding.
Sure. I just wish I could buy both, test for a month or so and then keep the one I like more. Visiting Apple Store every other day, when I was visiting the US did not help much. So I stayed with standard glass.

I can't read my own handwriting anymore, so "real" paper is out of the question for me.
As for the UI, etc, it's just Android with a non-standard launcher. They didn't even write the launcher, it's a launcher you can get off the app store. It's pretty vanilla except for the gestures for back/home. Whether or not this bothers you is probably a function of how much you like or dislike a pretty vanilla Android experience.
I like a different tool as much as the next person, but I think before we jump to the most complicated to for the job we should align our priorities..

E-ink is interesting as it's nice wrt long battery life but the slowness sucks too and this is not about the Android devices with an e-ink screen. RM2 you could program so that was cool.
