The Hacker News crowd likes the reMARKable but I don't see what's so great about it. Inkplate is the only one I find interesting for now, and I'd want it to be bigger.
Yeah. I love the reMarkable on paper. I was waiting eagerly for the reMarkable to come down in price when I got my Boox.
But I bought a recent model Boox for my significant other that does everything the remarkable claims for about half the price - like $300 instead of $600.
I haven't checked remarkable's price lately. I would definitely consider it next time, if it's a closer price.
Though I've had such a good experience with Boox that I might not switch brands for awhile.
But long term I want to be on a device with fully open specifications, so I'll be watching Inkplate with great interest.
What size boox did you get for $300? If it's 13.3" that is pretty interesting despite it being Android. The current one is around $800. I think I'm ok with a normal backlit screen in the right format.
I got the 10" Air for around $300, if I recall correctly. It's $500 now (direct from Boox), so either the price went up or I must have caught a good sale (or both).
