The reMarkable is a one trick pony and a niche in a niche. I expect them to go bust.

For the past two months, reMarkable has been running tightly focused, stylish ads on X constantly. It may not appeal to ebook gnostics, but some of the questions in the survey targeted reMarkable features.

When I attended writers conferences over the past few years, reMarkable had lots of buzz. If the one trick that pony offers targets a niche, that niche will be thrilled. Nobody buzzes about the Kobo Elipsa in those author circles. Kobo has its work cut out for it.
