I am using Supernote A5x. It has solutions for almost all issues the author addressed. Syncing is exceptionally good. It can sync to its own cloud or dropbox.

User can install Kindle app, so I can read all e book. The annotation feature while reading the book is good.

Yeah, also an A5X user here (I actually have both, A6x and A5x but have not used A6X much yet).

I have pretty much zero complaints about my A5X (only "nice to have" ideas I'd appreciate). I never used RM2 (or RM1) but the mandatory subscription alone is enough for me to never touch it.

Supposedly RM2 has better writing latency than Supernote, but the current Supernote beta firmware improved that latency significantly (I signed up for beta). It may have been a bit slow on the firmware 1.0 but on the current one (2.0.4) it's pretty much as good as it gets for me. Sure actual pen on paper is faster, but for me the latency is low enough that I sometimes reach to turn the page when reading / annotating some PDF. That's probably the best attestation I can give to a device that tries to simulate the paper

I've been considering one of these for Christmas; how is it for reading PDFs? Do you read any tech ebooks or textbooks? I'm a little concerned about page cropping and rednering latency.

The latency has improved with the beta a great deal.

For pure reading you can prob get a regular ebook for 1/3 the price.

However if you want to annotate PDFs or even epubs, I can’t really complain about anything. There are small glitches here and there (nothing persistent enough), but overall it’s been one of my personal slam-dunks in terms of consumer device experiences.

Also you can sync it via Dropbox, and it’s quite seamless for me.

Can also connect BT keyboard or wired keyboard and use it as typewriter. The one issue now is they don’t have some feature like shift+arrows to select but that’s going to come with future updates

It has kindle app and can read epubs natively.

Thanks!
