I'm intrigued by the remarkable, and may well buy the color e-ink version when it arrives (I gather it's expected late this year). One question, if I may: is there any way to import screenshots (ideally .png files) into otherwise handwritten remarkable notes? I use this functionality fairly often on my Chromebook (doing screengrabs with the stylus, then embedding them into otherwise handwritten Squid [0] notes, sometimes annotating them, then exporting the entire note as a PDF).

I dont see a widget for that on mine. Most of the needed functionality is there, tho- you can eg trace around a section of writing and move it around on a page, and the notebook pages have the notion of layers.

  Interesting, thanks. Sounds like it's something that could eventually get done... (On ChromeOS I often split-pane Squid and Xodo, or a video player -- not that I would ever expect that to work on e-Ink! -- and just embed complicated diagrams, long code blocks, or video stills in my handwritten notes.)

What Chromebook do you use Squid on? I use it on a 12.2" Samsung tablet which is great, but getting pretty old now.

  I'm using the Samsung Chromebook Pro, which is getting a bit old itself. While I like the stylus and the screen, I can't wholeheartedly recommend the device -- while it might come further down in price soon, with Samsung apparently prepping a new ChromeOS 2-in-1 [0], it still doesn't have Linux apps outside of Crouton. My understanding is that Crostini requires some code that's only available in the 4.x kernel, and -- unlike the ARM-based Chromebook Plus -- the Chromebook Pro uses the 3.x kernel. I'd heard rumors of backports last year, but they haven't materialized. And, in ChromeOS, I sometimes have random reboots, and UI bugginess when I switch aspect ratios or between laptop and tablet mode.
