No, I do such reviews, but I also take notes, interact with a terminal, read books, hack etc.
The boox and the previous gen of Sony are easy to root: there're even guides available. I may write such a guide for the new gen eventually.
Also, they are cheaper, with better customer support, there's no need for special software or subscription.
So I insist: the remarkable has only one small feature where it's ahead. I got one and promptly returned it, as it would have been a downgrade for just everything else.
I've got a collection of eink devices (Moaan/Xiomi inkpalm and inkpalm plus, Sony, Fujitsu, Boox...), and I have very low standards: anything that I can somehow use makes the cut.
The remarkable didn't, which is telling.
It's just bad, sorry. It's marketed to the linux/free software community so it's good if you want some geek cred, but personally I don't care: I root as needed, and write my own tools if required.
Maybe that's why I didn't like the remarkable: I don't need their inferior offering as I can just take something better and make it dance the way I want lol
We've both got a collection of these types of devices :)
I don't dislike the overall reading experience of the RM2; it's the file workflow and the highlighting workflow of the RM2 that in my experience let it down for document review.
My ideal device would be something with the industrial design of the RM2 and most of the software of the Quaderno Gen 2, except the file/folder interface (which I prefer from the RM2) and the tagging workflow from recent RM2 software versions.
Since you have experience rooting these devices, would you happen to know if there's a hack to turn off font hinting on the DPT-RP1/CP1 and Quadernos?
I haven't looked at font hinting, but if you're root, you should be able to replace the ttf files by files you've edited to behave just the way you want.
Have you tried to do just that? If you can't, if you can at least give me fonts, I can try to take a screenshot for you after I've replaced the default fonts by your fonts.
