If they make it possible to use android apps (like the kindle reader app and such) it is pretty damn near to what i hunker for in an ereader..
If it is a close environment, no joy

By i have read remarkable 2 has linux like os. The only new in this perspective is the possibility of read websites chosen in a desktop with chrome

Just pre-ordered one, curious to see how it is. I always wanted an rM1, but couldn’t justify the price tag...

What file types will it handle?

PDF and ePub.

If I was still in Industry, I'd have one of these for PDFs and annotating PDFS. Especially if the office was paying for it.

It doesn't compete with a Kobo Libra for epubs and unless you have a massive amount of mono PDFs to get through, it can't compete with a decent 10" LCD Android tablet at about 1/3rd price.

8 Gbs isn't much storage since you will only have maybe 4 left over, and with no sd slot you won't really be able to keep much on it. For me that makes it useless.

Quoth · 03-20-2020, 12:19 PM

I have a 2/3rds used 256 G SD card on my 10" tablet for all the PDF datasheets and reference material.

An 8 G may leave 5 to 6.5G free, which is fine only for non-scanned PDFs, ie ones that could have been made as epubs.

8GB may not be much internal memory, but it has a USB 3 socket, which can presumably be used for external memory. Although admittedly not as practical or perhaps as fast as a micro-SD slot.

I've just ordered one, but will have to wait until August for expected delivery.

Any ideas if it will offer split screen, two pages, or multiple documents open at once in landscape mode?

Replacing all your notebooks with one is a great idea, but sometimes you need to refer at two notebooks at once! Seems that the original remarkable didn't have this function.

Koreader has been ported to reMarkable. As the reMarkable 2 is similar to the 1, it'll probably run fine on it.

Dunno how stable it is and how it is integrated in the reMarkable's interface, though, but it could be a handle more file types.

I love the look of it but I could never justify the costs.
