So I'll try to keep an eye on how this thing evolves, because it did look promising; but in the current state of affairs, it's very clearly not for me. (Use case was mostly carrying around my whole PDF library and annotating research papers - I'm an academic)
It would be worth getting a cheap Windows 10 computer just for this. I have a Windows 10 that I use for coffe roaster control and logging, and now regularly transfer files from my Debian Linux to the Windows 10 laptop, then to the DPT-RP1. The print to Digital Paper function is great, too!
