Nice to know. I was considering it but that is a deal breaker for me. I'm tired of companies trying to steal back what the sold me.

You can completely and fully use the device without any subscription. They only charge for the usage of their cloud services.

Remarkable has not "stolen" anything back which they sold.

On the contrary, they grandfathered in users which bought a device prior to their charging for a subscription so that they all have free access.

What features require usage of their cloud services?

Primarily, syncing your documents between multiple Remarkable devices and their apps on your phone. The page on their site for it spells out everything pretty well.

I asked a friend who bought the new remarkable. He likes it but he says his old one was quite easy to link to google drive but the new one is not like that. Is it the same experience as you have?

That's an interesting way of describing that. Don't mind if I steal this quote for when I might need it. Messaging matters!

If anyone complains say it was AI generated. Who cares about copyright nowadays right?
