The reMarkable 2 is a slightly faster CPU than original reMarkable and almost identical FW/SW/GUI, except less ergonomic as front is slippier glass and the page turn & home buttons are gone. Still miserable amount of Flash, and only one file at time USB transfer via networking via a Web Browser. Worst file transfer & annotation support of any tablet, phone or eink reader I've owned. Probably every other 10.3" or similar size eink is better. It wasn't innovative or first. Plenty of better choice. I'd not have bought it only it was 1/2 price. It's only a hard to communicate with PDF reader and sketching app. No onboard text or handwriting recognition at all. Only the defunct Sony Digital paper is harder to work with without the Sony host program. It seems like a poor copy of the Sony PDF only Digital Paper eink rather than a real ereader with annotation and notes. The note taking is no different to any sketch program or app with a Wacom tablet, which I had on PC in late 1990s!
I have a Lenovo laptop with touchscreen/wacom that turns into a tablet and it's older. The Elipsa I have is hugely better (32G vs 6G storage too). The Boox sounds better. Amazon's Scribe and Hauweis offerings will be better.
The one innovation with the Scribe is the 300 dpi @ 10.2" as all the competition is lower resolution. There is nothing else new about the Scribe. I expect Pocketbook, Boox, Onyx, Kobo etc will soon have the same eink panel unless it really is an Amazon panel (I doubt it).
