I'd rather trust eInk Corp than reviews nowadays on the internet.
Fast enough for what?
My experience (and I had a reMarkable) is that the company outdoes Apple's late Steve Jobs on reality distortion. I considered the Scribe, though I had an Elipsa at the same time as the reMarkable and looked at the various "colourised" eink and Gallery 3 and bought a Nxtpaper 2.0 based TCL Nxtpaper 11 (10.9", but close to 16:10 aspect). So pleased I bought the larger Nxtpaper 3.0 based Nxtpaper 14 (14.25" and lovely 3:2 Aspect). Both of those and a phone and a second hand Chromebook is less than* the Remarkable Paper Pro (resolution 1872x1404, the 8" Kobo Sage is 1920 x 1440). It's not good enough for art or photography.
I'd sooner buy another 8" Sage at €300 (free shipping) as a spare. I find it best (though only with front light off) for reflowable ebooks and small PDF instruction manuals. I've had/have various ereaders from 4.7" to 10.3" from Sony, Nook, Kobo, Kindle, Binatone (more use than a reMarkable as an ereader), iRiver as well as the reMarkable, which has eink, but is not a useful ereader (Native PDF, no meta data library interface, only Networking via USB or Wifi, so no Calibre).
Onyx Boox and Pocketbook are able to complete with Kobo and Kindle in the eReader market. Neither reMarkable, nor Bigme are viable ereader competitors.
