I am surprised to see no mentioned of Onyx Boox Air in this thread. I bought it recently instead of Remarkable 2 and it's amazing.

You simply can't beat open ecosystem like android with some proprietary crap (unless you're FAANG). Having chrome browser fully in-sync with desktop one is a killer feature for me.

I went ahead and bought a boox air within a week of the original connect service announcement (yet to arrive). I originally wanted a RM after trying a coworker's RM1 but the connect announcement pushed me away.

With supernote currently giving a roadmap that improves handwriting recognition and boox allegedly having the ability to convert and search handwritten notes already, the remarkable connect plan is very unattractive.

Onyx is knowingly and willfully violating the GPL and claiming detractors are showing an "anti-China bias".
