I’ve got a reMarkable2 and have been using it on and off for a few months now. I was looking for a larger e-reader to replace my broken kindle DX. I use mine exclusively for reading, mostly technical, and not for note taking. I don’t use the pen and I don’t annotate PDFs.
Reading e-pubs tends to be more miss than hit. Often e-pubs will fail to render things like code snippets, diagrams, occasionally whole pages, on the reMarkable. The same epubs work fine everywhere else.
The device works great for PDFs though. Fortunately the publishers I usually buy books from offer multiple formats, and a PDF is always an option. I gave up on wrestling with e-pubs on the device.
I agree that the page turning can be janky. The UI is mediocre, and navigation could be improved quite a bit. Syncing is also not great, but eventually works.
The battery life is excellent though, and the physical design is better than anything else I’ve encountered. It’s the software that sucks.
Overall, I wouldn’t consider purchasing it again. There are alternatives that offer similar capabilities, larger screen sizes, and more. I’d look at those first.
