I agree. It seems the epaper market is missing a niche. The 'cheap remarkable'.
1. e-ink screen of more than 5", less than 18"
2. sd card (aside from the Likebook Mars, this is just about impossible to get in most eReaders, let alone one for less than $500!) and an open format (ODF-based linked files, json / svg in sqlite etc)
3. syncthing access (android or native Go binary)
4. headphone jack / built-in microphone
5. stylus (wacom or whatever, can take or leave pressure sensitivity just not-battery powered plz)
6. low latency, even if ugly artifacts drawing of the lines
I guess if someone wanted to buy it it would exist and could be purchased, but I ended up settling on the likebook mars since it did all of the above except the stylus and low latency drawing.
Remarkable has apparently pushed the low latency way down and good for them, but they IIRC off the top of my head do not support syncthing or sd cards, and they are far, far too much for the average joes of the world to purchase. $300 USD is expensive, and it barely gets you halfway to the ~700 USD (IIRC) they go for. Clearly a high-end product.
