Spec wise it's not even close to the boox note air I have been using, and it's been out over 1 year ago I believe. Even though this costs a little less.

Be nice to know how it renders scientific PDFs. I haven't found a good e-reader that can reflow properly.

E ink is infinitely better to read on, but yeah taking notes on it would suck. Better to just... use paper.

Well, apparently the Remarkable sold well enough so they made the Remarkable2. It is a niche product but there does appear to be enough interest in this type of device.

Specs are not clearly listed. Not sure if this is waterproof, and doesn't show how much Ram it has.
