I've been considering getting one for some time, but they lost me at "subscription" as well. I have another tablet which works just fine, except their auth server was taken down and now it is a "precision-engineered dud" as you put it.
I will go with the Amazon version. Sure Amazon has its problems but it is more likely to be around in the next few years and less likely to make changes to a subscription service in order to "monetize the customer" or some business nonsense.
- constantcrying 4y agoHave you looked at the BOOX tablets? I have an Note air 2, which is very similar to remarkable. The software is just android with a different UI. You can install whatever android app you want, transfer any file you want and so on. It is about as non locked down as you can get for a "normal" tablet, which you can't say about the amazon devices...
- kennend3 4y agoYes, i have actually narrowed it down to some sort of BOOX prior to the Scribe being released. Will delay my purchase for a bit and do another review of the BOOX offering vs Scribe. Amazon's devices are locked down (their tablets are terrible for this) but the kindle is a simple device and easy to side-load books bought elsewhere so it works well for me.
