I loved my RM1, by far the best e-ink reader/note taker I have had.
I had to switch to a Boox though, as I grew bored of having to maintain a Windows VM with a downgraded Calibre to convert my Amazon purchases to ebooks for reading on the Remarkable. I now have my Boox with the Amazon Kindle app and can natively read my books, and the writing feeling is almost as good as on the Remarkable.
- cyberpunk 1y agoWhy do you need a windows vm for calibre? It’s java, it works on windows linux and mac (and likely bsd too)?
- dcminter 1y agoPython, not Java.
- Galanwe 1y agoFrom what I remember, it was because I needed an old version of the Amazon Kindle app, to download a less secured version of Kindle books, to then convert them to epub with an old deDRM plug-in. Essentially the whole process is not doable nowadays with stronger DRMs.
- BlueTemplar 1y agoWait, but why would you still use Amazon ?
- Galanwe 1y agoTo buy books ? I don't know of any other book provider with an extensive catalog. Also Amazon often have authors into a exclusive agreement, so it's not like it will change anytime soon.
- BlueTemplar 1y agoPiracy + supporting authors (that aren't Amazon-exclusive) in other ways seems to be more ethical ?
