    Being Norwegian it is my patriotic duty to shill for ReMarkable, it’s pretty good at being what it is.

    It’s expensive, though.

      Sorry but no. Abysmal hardware, shitty software that’s locked down AND crap when opened up, and horrid QA. Talking from experience.

        it is definitely too closed down, haven’t had those other experiences though, I’ve had my ReMarkable 2 for quite a few years now. Then again, I haven’t tried hacking at it

          The hardware weakness is super obvious if you try to add any third party apps. Slow loading times, badly exposed pen API, among other things.

      It’s more for note taking, annotation and drawing than purely reading ebooks though, the form factor alone would make it uncomfortable for long reading sessions I think
