User and avocate of the rm2 here; it completely replaced my notepad/s in and out of the office.

Worth mentioning that they have given lifetime access to existing customers, but I had been planning on giving devices to staff at the end of the year, this announcement has significantly cooled my enthusiasm.

If Remarkable staff are reading and are willing to extend the lifetime offer to existing clients for new purchases, feel free to speak up..

Notice that they avoid saying ‘lifetime’ anywhere, or saying anything about how long that access will last in their announcements and communications. They do discuss the length of the access in their FAQ, where they say that they plan to offer the free access for ´as long as we're able to’, but that ‘there are things we can't control that might affect this’, along with a number of other vague statements. The terms of service, even for the free subscription, has you agree that they can start charging you at any time after 30 days notice, with no other consent or acknowledgment from you. Everything seems to be written with the expectation of removing the free access after disappointment with the new subscription service subsides.

$WORK allotted each employee a $500USD stipend for our at-home office space. I was just about to buy the rm2, when this change occurred. Instantly soured me on the device.

What is 'lifetime' for a startup company?

I can use Dropbox and Google drive on a 2011 laptop running Win7, already EOL'd for 2 years. Even when desktop sync is no longer supported, the web client will still work.

What will happen when these guys get bored and move on to something else?
