I got my MobiScribe last week after trying out a ReMarkable (v1) for a bit. The screen isn't as nice to write on, but the software works better for me (I hate to say that; it's Android (4.4!)) and it has a backlight. There's the option to sideload apps, but there is a browser installed when you buy it. Downloading books and apps can be done over WiFi. I have to say I like it. The option to replace the reader gives you flexibility, as did the community offerings on the ReMarkable. MobiScribe costs less, and is smaller.

Do you mean the "Mobiscribe Origin"? The original Mobiscribe (which is just called the "Mobiscribe", for anyone who's confused) has major lag issues and I wouldn't recommend the note-taking unless you want to wait 30+ seconds at times, switching between virtual notebooks. I suspect it's partially due to bad coding that scales up poorly (the .note files have to re-render their vectors every time you turn the page, including completely erased parts), and it didn't pop up until I'd owned it for a while.
