I recently decided to get a Note again for the S-Pen experience, but I keep seeing the ReMarkable mentioned and I'm considering it, but I can't really justify it since I don't actually write that much, I just like the idea of having "electronic paper". What would you say about the device? |

It's not a general purpose device - which is OK with me - no need to be distracted by games or web browsing.
If you don't care about linux or privacy, the kindle is way cheaper, and most any tablet with apps has more general utility.
I mainly wanted an ebook reader with a big e-ink screen.
What I found was more than I expected -- you can scribble or highlight your PDF files. The paper/writing part is pretty fun. Write in the margins. I've found myself drawing/sketching for no reason.
Another motivation was openness. You are not forced to use their cloud service or run an app.
In fact, they provide the root password and you can ssh into it. Out-of-the-box you are into-the-box.
It's linux-based, and people have written modifications for it.
