Over the years, I have bought 3 reMarkable 2 and 1 reMarkable Pro. That move to colors and having to charge a pen instead of more features (a Kindle integration will be sweet), faster devices, and focusing on better feedback on writing seems a bit of a fumble.
God I hope Remarkable never adds a Kindle app or any other kind of ebook reading app. If they do it means they’ve given up on their core which is a digital replacement for a paper notebook. That’s all I want from them.
I was excited to order the Move today and expect I’ll like it a lot.
I was hoping for a 13.3” version for reading and marking up textbooks, technical documents and academic papers. Oh well, going the opposite way probably attracts more customers.
Great form factor but far too overspecialized, which is the norm these days for devices of this class.
I can see it working strictly as a digital notepad and PIM, provided they don't enshittify it to hell with badly designed applications, mandatory subscriptions, and other lock-in garbo. For anything else it's far too weak.
Sad, as the candybar form factor is made for a pen-focused ultramobile general-computing machine designed around standards.
