Thank You for your review Poremskyi. I found it useful.

So reMarkable reading capablities:
  • PDF - no text search, no table of contents
  • epub - missing formatting, no clickable links


This is simply inexcusable if the device is going to be marketed to readers (not note takers).

Surely reMarkable did not develop a new PDF and epub renderer inhouse, they used some off the shelf libraries, so adding text search should have been relatively easy.

By comparison Sony DPT-S1 might not have epub reader but PDFs work great.
Or Kobo H20 might not be great at PDFs but its epub renderer works great.

This a software issue so lets hope reMarkable team or 3rd parties can release some better reading software.
