I'm happy with my iPad. I can read books, watch videos or take notes all in one, plus I get to surf the open web on a super fast browser on top hardware that doesn't try to mimic the dead-tree. Not sure what the use-case for a sluggish 'paper-like' interface would ever be?
I know some folks will jump to suggest less eyestrain but neither paper books nor e-ink help with that. Since eyestrain stems from overworked eyes and a tired brain [1], it doesn't help to claim that the nature of surface revealing the text has anything to do with it.

- criddell 6y agoThe Remarkable does one thing and tries to do that one thing well. For a lot of people, not having Hacker News a swipe away is a feature. Having a much, much longer battery life is also nice. Have you ever compared the screen of an iPad and Kindle outside? The Kindle is far easier to read in bright light. Even inside I prefer an eink screen because it isn't flashing 60 or 120 times per second.
