The Pinenote can't arrive fast enough! I'm sitting on a ReMarkable 2 that I hate because I didn't realize how serious they were about crippling the usefulness of a really beautiful stack of hardware.

It's really, Really, REALLY dead-set against letting you do anything useful like use wikipedia or stackoverflow on your ultra-long-battery-life beautiful-display device that you might, I dunno, want to use to look at reference material.

Also Bluetooth is hardware-disabled, so no keyboard. What the hell, people. After seeing all the hacks and stuff I figured that might be possible, didn't learn otherwise until after placing the order. Whoops.

Wikipedia is kind of solved[0]. As for stackoverflow, you might be able to use netsurf[1] already, I'm not sure how JS dependent it is.

Nice -- shill us the Pinenote then!

I'm in the market for an e-ink reader and have been considering the RM2, but the Pinenote looks pretty tasty too..
