My main gripe is lack of direct bookmarking of pages in ebooks or even listing jump links to highlighted areas. I like writing on it but also want to use for reading large ebooks, highlighting important info, and keeping notes in context. Not realistic to do that if have to scroll through all pages.

I haven't done it yet myself, but I've read it's fairly easy to install KOReader on the Remarkable 2 to provide a better ereader experience. Though when using this software, you wouldn't be able to mark up the text or add notes in the 'remarkable' way.

It is indeed easy and very worth it. The rm2 is the _best_ way to read text books and comics I've ever seen (using koreader), and separately it's great for taking notes. Those two uses don't really overlap for me so it's fine that they're in separate OSes, especially because it's one gesture to switch between them.

The one and only thing that really bothers me about the device is the storage is pretty small. It's fine for books, but not great for comics, you end up having to swap out old ones instead of just having your whole library available.

Comics? I thought it was black and white only. I'd assume an iPad (or other tablet) was better for comics.

The comics I read are grayscale anyway for 99% of pages. YMMV if that's not true for your collection I suppose.

I tried this and promptly bricked it, although in a more recoverable way than the OP. It’s not hard to do it right (I’d got some version of a dependency wrong) but there seem to be few guardrails. I just convert epubs to pdfs now for rm2 reading

I installed koreader and I'm quite happy with reading long books that way.

koreader is my goto reader on RM2 too. If only the device had a smaller size.

I use 2 pages view in landscape mode. It's better, still does not provide the comfort Kindle Paper White offers.

Also some back/frontlight could be helpful.

Bookmarks would be super nice. Also, a more secure way of storing the stylus. When I slide mine into my backpack I have a high chance of swiping the stylus onto the floor because it knocks off very easily. A couple of times, I haven't noticed and ended up going somewhere and being unable to use the reMarkable because it was at home under my desk or couch. One of these days I'm going to do that while I'm not at home and I'm going to be incredibly annoyed that I have to buy another $50 stylus.

I have rm1 with the simple case marker slot. The rm2 magnet approach is something that would have me constantly checking to see if I lost it.
