Remarkable

Sorry this may have been covered in different comments but I can't find a single source and am terrible at reading GitHubs layout.

I'm buying a new Rm2 and wanted to know if the new firmware is easy enough to hack/mod? I see mention of separate hardware being needed if I brick it and was wondering what the story is.

Also what are the most common features that people hack for?

I hope to use it to read for leisure and take notes in meetings that I can get to other devices (windows & Mac). Do I need to hack for any extra functionality? I don't have any issue using epub/pdf
