I wonder, how might they reduce the cost of these? It's a cool concept, and I can understand some of the cost, but when your alternatives (simple pen & paper or marker & dry erase board) are substantially cheaper it makes this a harder sell.
The cool thing about the remarkable is that it is a ln actual computer running Linux. You can do a lot more than just write notes. You can write freely and run OCR, sync with your other devices via syncthing, etc. The one thing it needs is a bigger ecosystem of application developers. E.g, I'd love to see an actual collaborative board like Miro integrated with this, so that everyone could draw/write directly on their tablet and see changes from others in real-time.
One of my coworkers has one of these or something similar, and it seems to work well for him. I've considered getting one but the price is a significant barrier.
It's probably the Remarkable2. I paid 300€ on mine IIRC.
