The reMarkable (1 or 2) is pretty poor:

Only network via USB, no MTP or mass storage
No on-board writing to text conversion
Limited document storage
No Library view with filters (no metadata), simply a file
browser.
No front light.
Natively PDF only.
Only program (not on Linux) or Web Browser access, no Filemanager or Calibre like Scribe or Elipsa

The reMarkable2 ditches the three buttons on the original and replaces the nice to sketch on plastic with slippy glass. Both near identical FW (if you update). The reMarkable seems to be a basic clone of the Sony Digital Paper rather than a real ereader and notetaking (no text conversion, just a posh drawing app).

The Scribe is better than reMarkable. The Kobo Elipa & Sage are both far better.
I have a reMarkable, Elipsa and Sage.

This Lenovo sounds better than the Scribe, which is too tied to Amazon's server to be any use to me or any business user, the 300 dpi vs 227 dpi isn't enough of an advantage. In the reviews, the Scribe doesn't come even close to the Lenovo. I don't know if better than an Elipsa or Sage. I can do audio notes on my phone (used also for music and audiobooks). The Audio support on the Sage & Elipsa is really poor, any Andriod eink with audio does better.
