Fair point.

I was looking into them recently, and can't recall why I ruled them out.

I think it may have been because of the size of their color tablets - either too small or too large.

Their software suuuuucks. They market it as a paper notebook replacement, and it’s alright for that. Anything other than that is out of scope. Good reading experience? No: it’s a notebook, not an e-reader. Organization with tables of contents and links between documents? No: Paper notebooks don’t have tappable links, so neither should this. Dictionary? LOL no: That’s not how books work.

If you can live with its many, many, many weird limitations, the hardware is delightful. I returned mine after I had it for a month, though, and bought a Nomad. Remarkable makes good devices but I couldn’t abide the shoddy software.

I finally swapped mine for Super otw, being Android and also you don't need to pay a subscription to sync your computer and device through "the cloud".
Super doesn't yet come in color. I already have a B/W ereader that serves my needs.

To be honest, I just need a decent ereader that supports Koreader. I definitely don't want to run apps, etc. I don't want to use it for note taking unless I can find a way to migrate the notes to my PC in my preferred format (which I may well be able to hack quickly with LLM support).

Do you mean Supernote? How do they compare to the Remarkable tablets?
