    I’d heard about reMarkable but not sure if it’s exactly a kindle competitor. Also uses e-ink but it heard more towards taking notes. Far as I can tell it created the segment that the kinda Scribe competes in.

    Not used one so interested to hear a user’s take.

      I have a remarkable 2. Two of them actually after I killed the first one by sitting on it 😳

      They are excellent note-takers. There’s no on device OCR and search of notes, that relies on their cloud service. Writing on it is the closest to writing on paper I’ve found on a eDevice.

      It’s a terrible ebook reader. Everything gets converted to PDF internally and the UI is designed around annotation and note taking, not uninterrupted reading.
