i think that reMarkable could expand its user base much better by adding features that are standard on other readers such as better handling of epubs (not sure if epubs are still converted or supported natively), adding native support for other standard and open reading formats (txt, html, rtf, cbz, cbr), as well as adding support for image formats (png, jgp, gif, bmp, tiff). then add suport for using our own cloud storage services + webdav + ftp.
of course, this would make it not just a niche device favored just by note takers alone, but by a much larger audience. they grow with a larger user base and would not need to charge a subscription fee to grow. they would be competitive with mainstream ereader manufacturers. they should also expand into offering various sized devices.
and obviously, the added bonus of the device...the feature that gives it its advantage over all other readers, would still be its excellent note taking capability.
