The reMarkable is NOT a writing tablet. It's a PDF reader and sketch tablet. Zero on-board handwriting to text conversion. I suspect almost any 10" approx eink with stylus digitiser is better. No Mass Storage or MTP USB modes. The v2 has a bit more RAM and faster cpu, but slipier screen (glass vs textured plastic). Only 8 G Flash and no SD slot is a bit poor for image PDFs needing 10" screen.
Are bloggers being paid to promote it?
I doubt this Bigme is a "best eink tablet". See forums here. The colour feature inherently makes it less useful. If you want colour, Android and 10", then you'll get far better buying a regular tablet at 1/4 price. Actually you could very nearly buy a Sage for note taking, an Elipsa for PDFs, Fire tablet and 10" Android LCD tablet for the price of the Bigme.
Also the approx 10" LCD, 10" Elipsa and 10" Remarkable are too heavy and large as notebook except at a desk or table. 10" is only good to read PDFs, too large for ebooks unless you've very bad eyesight. That's why I got a Sage for notes after getting an Elipsa. I picked up a reMarkable 1/2 price just for wife to read ancient PDF scans of Victorian novels not available free or paid on paper or ebook. It was ghastly to put content on. I could only do it by manually creating directories/folders on the reMarkable GUI and drag / drop PDFs one at a time via web browser. Designed by geniuses at HW and Programming that have no clue about eReaders or note taking. The "note taking" app is actually a multilayer sketch application.
The reality of it is so much at odds with maker's web site and all blogs! I mean most things are aren't as good as suggested (except maybe some Kobo ereaders if you only use Calibre and only want to read epubs or converted Kindle ebooks).
Gizmodo and Goodereader are particularly useless guides.
