I find that manufacturers give some lip service to putting source up somewhere but it's usually out of date and a low priority.

In comparative terms and compared to other e-readers, I think Remarkable is doing a good job providing their current updates to the open source projects that they use, while still trying to make money. I understand that you don't like them but if my statements so far haven't convinced you, then probably it is not worth hashing it out further; if you can find a manufacturer that makes a more open device you should mention it - the PineNote doesn't count as it isn't usable yet and won't be for a while. Also, the cloud is not a required component to use the rM2 tablet so it is unfair to try to link them to it.
