Fun fact, you can hook this up to your computer and use it as a drawing tablet, maybe I should open-source my plugin for this :)

> only nit, is sometimes swipe when turning pages is ignored and I have to do it a couple of times. (Maybe it is sleeping and needs to be woken?)

It's an issue with how you do the gesture, I have the most luck doing it around 60% down the screen, from one edge to the other, and waiting for the screen to finish refreshing before doing anything else.

Your comment about the gesture made me laugh. It reminded me of when Jobs said that people were holding the iPhone incorrectly for antenna gate
I mean it's sort of true! I'm not sure exactly which heuristics reMarkable is using but they seem not to work super well. I have the same issue on the rM2 unless I do like a Perfect High-Quality Swipe, so it's apparently important. Though, IMHO, waiting for the screen to finish refreshing is the most important part.
