I think a lot of people were turned-off by:

1. the device without subscription is crippled in unnecessary ways (access to third-party cloud-services like Dropbox, for instance)

2. the already high cost of the hardware relative to other options.

I've been looking at ReMarkable since I saw a prototype that a friend was using. But in the end I just knew it would join the pile of unused gadgets (with good intentions) that litter my home.

A subscription service really is the nail in the coffin for me.
