Look at that, an actually cool and innovative piece of hardware. No AI? No subscription?

There is an optional subscription for a syncing service, although it looks like there’s a basic syncing service included?
Looking into it a bit more, it looks like Remarkable uses their own Linux distro, so presumably any Linux sync/backup service should work.

I appreciate the availability of an optional syncing service for ease of use, but would ideally it would have something like Google/Dropbox/Nextcloud or DAV integration where no additional subscription is needed.
I love my Remarkable 2. It's a notebook that allows me to search through my notes and also doubles as an e-reader.
No web browser. No other unnecessary features. Just notes, documents, and books.
10/10.
I would prefer this with a web browser but maybe I can find a tui rss reader and browser to ssh into. I have an eink device the size of a phone and reading/browsing outside in direct sunlight is the best
I noticed the article mentioned Dropbox, g drive, and OneDrive and I was curious and from searching around it seems you can also use ftp and ssh. That's super cool, being able to script an auto backup to my NAS makes this a lot more appealing.
How is this different than my $100 Kobo?
