But the Remarkable (Original or 2) has no native conversion. It's just a sketch pad. Both have only 6 G storage (vs 32 G).
I don't find lag on the Elipsa or Sage any worse than my original reMarkable. The only differences I can see of mk2 (vs original):
* Glass rather than plastic writing surface, reviewers say it's slippier
* Slightly faster CPU (maybe more RAM, but that's irrelevant)
* No prior, home and next buttons

It's only usable easily one PDF at at time via a Web browser on host laptop.
No library management, only a file browser.
Only actually PDFs for imported content, but crops nicely. You need the simple one click KOReader install on Elipsa to have decent PDF functionality (KOReader can be installed on reMarkable, but it's more complex).
Both reMarkable models have apparently identical FW features according to maker.

My granddaughter (nearly 10) was showing me her reading activity and all her notebooks on the Sage this morning. She uses both kinds. I put about 1000 pd books from Gutenberg on it and she takes care to export any time she adds to a notebook. It's replaced games on Nintendo, PS5 and Amazon Fire as well as Netflix videos. She was writing and sketching in a paper notebook but prefers the Sage as it's easier to work on different things and find them. On holiday now till end August/start September
