Again, you are saying device, the article is ereader. And not colur ereader, but ereader. Have you used any of the Remarkable devices? Seen any of the colour ereaders in person?

They are all devices and they can all display eBooks.

You don't have to see something in person to know it's not all that good. We rely on video, pictures, reviews, reports from owners, etc. We cannot always see everything in person before we buy. When I bought my Kobo Aura H2O, I was not able to see it in person. But because of reading about Kobo and watching reviews, I was able to decide that I wanted one and when the new larger screen H2O came out, I bought one.

Sure. But how it displays and handles ebooks is also important.

Jon*, how is the front light on the Remarkable Pro? How does the Pro look without the front light? Does it honor CSS? What sort of customization does the reading software offer? Can you compare all of these to the colour Kobos.

*Please let Jon respond to these questions. I am interested in his opinion.

And you know this from personal use? My opinion is that if it's software is anywhere close to the Remarkable 2, it would suck as an ereader.

It's just the marketing term that reMarkable uses for their displays, nothing more. E-ink makes the panels but seems to have never used that marketing name themselves. reMarkable used it a bit on the rM and rM2 and it never really took off. Now that they've made a splash with the Paper Pro people have noticed it, but rM hasn't actually come out to say what exactly makes "Canvas" different from a regular Carta panel (rM and rM2) and Gallery 3 (PPro).
