OT, but I've had a MobiScribe e-Ink tablet for almost a couple of years now, I use it daily for notes and diagrams, fantastic tool, but that ReMarkable 2 e-ink tablet looks worthy of a closer look, Thanks!
Oops, just checked, mine has a backlight, and the ReMarkable is even more Closed than my MobiScribe, fail.
- xyquadrat 6y agoI'm not sure what you mean by > the ReMarkable is even more Closed than my MobiScribe, fail. The ReMarkable is comparatively very hackable and open, see for example https://github.com/reHackable/awesome-reMarkable/ https://github.com/reHackable/awesome-reMarkable/. It doesn't have a backlight though, that's true.
- robinsoh 6y ago> Oops, just checked, mine has a backlight, and the ReMarkable is even more Closed than my MobiScribe, fail. Are you certain about this? I was told that remarkable is open source. But I have not verified this myself. But I see tools like https://github.com/torwag/remarkableflash https://github.com/torwag/remarkableflash which suggest it is possible to recompile what software remarkable has published and then flash it on to the system. Please double check either way.
- hartator 6y agoThe ReMarkable is pretty open, you can ssh on it without mod! Their CTO is a former KDE developer or something in the like I believe. Overall, ReMarkable 1 and 2 are pretty awesome. It's a cool tool to take ton of notes without having to worry about loosing anything. Just wish their search feature was OCR. This is truly missing.
