I use Onyx M96 and N96ML, both with 9.7" screen, read mainly technical books and documentation, scribble and annotate a lot and find both the screen size and the resolution comfortable for what I do. Also not too bulky for carrying around.

According to the spec ReMarkable has slightly larger screen, 10.3”, and higher resolution, 1872x1404 (Onyx M96/N96 is 1200x825/9.7", Onyx Max 2200x1650/13.3" and Onyx i86 1600x1200/8", the last one I found to be too small for my use). Also the screen sits flush to the tablet frame which should make taking notes much better experience, it's a great idea.

I'm quite excited about ReMarkable. The company seems to be run by people who know what they are doing and unlike with Onyx you actually know who they are! Also the (promotional) price is similar to what you currently have to spend on similarly sized Onyx (but watch out for taxes) and you will be getting much more polished device (at least based on what journalists say in their reviews).

The only worries I have right now is that there is Wi-Fi but the only thing you can do with is to access ReMarkable's own cloud service (although apparently they are working on integration with other providers) and no external storage.

Here is a bunch of links to reviews I received in an email from ReMarkable:

* The Verge
* Mashable
* Trusted Reviews
* Digital Trends
* BBC
* Stuff
