Remarkable + koreader has been one of my primary work tools for the last few months. However, it's the storage capacity that most aggravates me (a commonality among most ereaders).

Really, I wish we had a sort of eink (and lcd) tablet PC: general, bare hardware that it's just assumed you'll probably throw your own OS onto at some point. Make it ugly: four torx screws and the back comes off and you can access the battery and the mainboard and the onboard storage. Maybe an external micro SD slot.

Not android, just plain linux + off the shelf components with solid driver support.

The real frustration is that the Remarkable is 90% of the way there to such a thing.

If desktop computers had started out like tablets, we would have skipped over the Apple II and it would have been hermetically sealed Macs from the beginning.

The problem with projects like these (other than for fun) is that the software isn't where the issue is. It's the lack of open hardware. We reinvent too many wheels and never bother to get to the actual cart.

Yesterday I gave up looking for anything remotely like you describe and just ordered a remarkable. Not a huge disappointment, most of my enjoyment is gonna come from software hacking anyway, any physical device I build will look like a TP roll fort.
