I rushed to buy an Rm2 when I learned how hackable they are. I downgraded to 2.15.1.x immediately and installed KOReader plus a bunch of other things. I am heavily invested in the KOReader project and wanted this so badly. My other reader is a Sage.
I'm a linux support engineer. (Fancy title for technician), and I know a few things, but I still had so many close calls and rescues that were only possible because I was in the SSH session already, that I gave up, undid the patches and mods, updated to a newer stock OS (which is still root access linux btw). I am so much happier. Decide for yourself though.
Remarkable does a wonderful job of pushing quality improvements in each release. It's not a reader. It's a notebook. That said, I'm applying some softer mods, but nothing extreme that will keep me out of the coolest "notebook" features in the latest OS. Give your Rm2 a solid chance. Read books on a dedicated device with KOReader, and use your "notebook" to make cool notes on what you read. After 10 years chasing that unicorn, I'm telling you there is no "one device."
