  That's a selective quote. I'm talking about being able to get files on and off the device. That notwithstanding, looking at the page you link, let's look at each heading and what it says.

    Okay, I misunderstood your original point. Thought by cloud you meant subscription.

      It does highlight the ambiguity around how people define the word 'cloud'. I think the first para of Wikipedia does it well: > Cloud computing is the on-demand availability of computer system resources, especially data storage (cloud storage) and computing power, without direct active management by the user [0] i.e. "someone else's computer". I want the core advertised reMarkable features to be on my computer(s). Not half mine, half theirs. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_computing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_computing
