IMHO, $500 is a stiff price for such device. https://remarkable.com/store/reMarkable-and-marker https://remarkable.com/store/reMarkable-and-marker

- jimmydddd 7y agoAgreed. As I scrolled through the Web page, I was thinking to myself that it looks cool and that I'd buy it on a whim if it came in around $200. But when I saw the about $500 price point, I was more like, hmmm, let me read the HN comments. The comments look to be fair but meh. So, it gets put on the someday wishlist.
- dredmorbius 7y agoGiven that this provides access to at least 100s of books (at 5MB/book, about a thousand with 8 GB storage), and compared with similar tablet devices (Android or Apple), especially of comparable screen size, it's quite competitive. The Apple iPad Air runs $500, the base-model iPad is slightly less expensive (and a 10" screen). Larger-format Android devices tend to run around $400-$600. Given my experience with Android and limitations of iPad options, I'd be willing to pay considerably more for a suitable device, though the ReMarkable may not yet be that.
