I have a reMarkable - ordered it some time before release (about two years ago), and have been using it regularly ever since.
I originally bought it to read and occasionally annotate PDFs, but what I end up using it for most of the time is taking notes. Writing on it is very comfortable, very similar to real paper. It's a notebook that I never lose and never goes out of pages. Reading PDFs is very nice as well - the display is a little smaller than full pages, even with some margins cropped, so small fonts are not 100% easy to read for my ageing eyes.
After about 20 months of use, it's still working great. No signs of wear, no technical problems. I've been using up pen nibs faster than I expected, I've had to order more - the original pack of 10 is gone.
The reMarkable hardware is great; the software is a little behind, though it's improving - there have been several firmware updates. One is still supposed to be coming, they've pulled it twice over security problems. IMHO it's still missing important features, like the ability to copy/paste between pages and between documents (right now you can only C/P within a single page), and the ability to manages pages (copy, add, delete, whatever - this one was coming in the pulled update, so I'm still expecting it).
Overall, it's a device I use a lot in my everyday work, and I recommend it if you have this kind of usage in mind. Oh, and if you can go without a front light; if you want one Onyx has a 10" device with light, but I haven't tried it (ordered one as a present for my wife, but her birthday is still some days away).
