Hi All

I’m currently researching the digital paper tablet market. As a fellow enthusiast of digital note-taking and reading technology, I’m exploring the idea of creating a new product that could serve as an alternative to the reMarkable.

I’d love to get your thoughts on a few aspects:

Pricing: Do you feel that the reMarkable tablet is priced appropriately for what it offers? If not, what would you consider a fair price point for a similar product?

Features & Functions: Are there additional features or functions you wish your reMarkable had? This could be anything from software capabilities to hardware improvements.

Likes & Preferences: What aspects of the reMarkable do you especially enjoy?

And of course, any other feedback or suggestions you have would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much in advance for your time and for sharing your valuable opinions.

Pricing of the tablet seems decent. The pricing of the accessories however is ridiculous, not to mention the subscription model.

I'd love the rM to have a better/more flexible upload interface. I'd like to be apple to directly access the rM cloud through a file browser, not their stupid app. Or, alternatively, better integration of dropbox etc. Now you still have to copy files out from dropbox first and then you can use them on the tablet.

Otherwise, I love the hardware and how it feels to use.

Finally, I have zero trust in the company for the future. To me, recent updates seem like they have largely abandoned the "digital paper without distractions" approach. Another update a while ago messed up a bunch of my existing annotated pdf's and their response was "Everything is working as intended :)"

The subscription model looks ridiculous to me and it baffles/scares off anyone I speak to.

I thought about buying it until I saw the subscription model - that's pretty much a "no" from me.
