Being such a pricy gadget it really lacks many vital features like integrations with the existing productivity and reading services, as well as cloud drives support and so on. The answer "Let's just say the future of the reMarkable is bright and filled with many exciting possibilities" doesn't convince me at all =/
I was actually dreaming about that kind of Ebook for the last 5 years...

This would be awesome for reading scholarly papers or other things where you constantly need to take notes. I print every paper I read, because it's just too ceremonious and inflexible to take notes in Kindle and similar apps. But it would be nice to digitalize those notes, which this seems to be suitable for.

From the video and the specs the product looks really nice. I also love the fact, that it runs on Linux - that's great. I would definitely love to have a tool like that, as I am still partially a paper person when involved in creative thinking processes, but the price will probably prevent me from buying one.
Still, reMarkable has my upvote.

Alas, not quite intriguing / tempting enough for me.
Pros:
- I like the focus on no distractions.
- It's indeed super-valuable to have sketches backed up, synced, and accessible on other devices.
- Looks like very fine resolution.
Cons:
- An iPad Pro + Apple Pencil is within a couple hundred dollars of this and provides MUCH richer functionality (even "no distractions" with a single tap on 'airplane-mode'.)
- No color. So many textbooks (or really any books with illustrations) are made richer and more accessible with color.
- Uncertainty. With Apple, I know if something goes wrong, I can drive 10 minutes and get my iPad Pro fixed or swapped out. Will ReMarkable be around in 6 months? A year?

Bottom line for me:
I'd buy something like the ReMarkable device if it...
- was at a more impulse-purchase price of $199 or lower
- offered color e-ink
- was MUCH lighter than the iPad Pro or even roll-uppable to stick in a tiny space

I like the digitizing sketches and maybe it as an ereader but at that price point you've got to be joking? $200 and i'm sold. There's no way this thing is a $700+ retail product. I don't even want to convert that to Canadian Pesos but it's nearing the $1000 mark if my horrible head math is correct. As my fellow brits would say "You taking a piss, mate?"

Would you sell it as an app for Android/iPad? Seems like a logical choice as I already have a tablet and don't want to purchase another piece of (single purpose) hardware to run it. Seems like this would be a serious competitor for Evernote (which I currently use). It would also allow you to fund significant development on the app side which would ultimately benefit your hardware solution for those who like ePaper.

This is where I'd hoped to see Amazon take the DX but for me still to high a price point especially when adding UK import VAT etc
hope to see you survive as company and product
but I'll have to wait until the eink technology comes down in price.
I have a feeling the Kindle department are taking notes down..
For me, I have a kindle and if it promises on its' delivery.. I can see it replacing it. The reason why I still buy physical books is that I jot down tiny notes as I read along, I can see it can replace it (at a reasonable price).
