Is it worth it to buy just for reading purposes? I have a Kindle but a want bigger screen to read PDFs and web pages.
Also, any integration with the Android app store?
- Jhsto 7y agoI don't think it's that great for reading. It does not have a backlight. I own both the reMarkable and Kindle Paperwhite and I prefer to read books on the Kindle.
- jshevek 7y agoIt is perfectly serviceable for reading, though it may lack some of the reading oriented features of other eink devices. I love the large size for some of my documents, which are unpleasant to read on smaller devices.
- ProZsolt 7y agoWhat you re missing?
- jshevek 7y agoBased on other comments here, it seems that the Remarkable is missing several features that some people enjoy in their eReaders. The only one I can cite definitively is the lack of backlight. I can't speak to other allegedly missing features because I haven't investigated the issue. I am satisfied with the features I do use when I want to read certain docs on the large remarkable screen.
- lottin 7y agoIt is suitable for reading PDFs, but don't expect much. It doesn't have a web browser and doesn't run Android apps.
