Pray do tell of those more open (and cheaper) alternative devices?

I have a BOOX Max Lumi, it has all those features, for free. Plus is a fully functioning android tablet.
Not sure it's any open (Kobo devices usually are hackable), but Kobo Elipsa[0] is feature par with Remarkable 2.

A friend of mine uses an Onyxbook (not sure what model) extensively for note taking and he seems pretty happy with it. Software developer with a bit of math thrown in, to get an idea of what he writes on it.
I'm being a bit future-looking here and considering alternatives to the gen3 reMarkable, not the current hardware. Specifically, the PineNote seems like it could fill the niche for me.
