100 times this. The hardware is great. The software sucks.

I literally can't believe in 2024 it's still not straight forward to "send a blog post from my phone to my remarkable" without some mangling happening along the way. It was genuinely jawdropping for me, I ended up contacting an employee on LinkedIn to confirm that this wasn't a well supported workflow

Other people in this thread are saying that you can run your own software on it. If that is the case, it should be easy to integrate whatever you want, or am I mistaken?
I believe adding extra components (i.e. custom software) would classify as the "mangling" GP wanted to avoid.
It’s 2024, like 6 people read blog posts lol. Not surprising they don’t support this. Sending a PDF from phone to Remarkable is dead simple.
Friend, like 50% of the content on this website is blog posts. Are there only six of us? Are all these accounts just bots? Are you even real? Am I even real????
The guys my dad goes to the diner with still have cassette players in their trucks. When they look around they see other cassette listeners.
I read blog posts
Neat! I never said you didn’t.

My point was that overall, “blog post readers” are now in the minority — even if they tend to hang out with each other.

And it’s not surprising that supporting the needs of “blog post readers” is no longer a priority for many companies — including Remarkable.
