Well i just saw the remarkable 2. I liked how it workes at feels. But im concerned for the update abillity, like the software support, and the abillity to decide what data is send and so on. Im a noob for Linux, i use fedora on my laptop, and thats it. So yir Pinenote isnt for me,because im not that good in linux development. What is the linux community thoughts on the remarkable 2 (as far as i know, its based on Linux) or are there good alternatives out there? I want to use it for note taking and reading pdf…

    I have kobo sage. It runs on a Linux based OS. Not fully Linux, but very open and doesn’t get in your way. Easily jailbreakable if you want to install KOreader on it. I turn off the wifi on it and go for it. Been loving it. Only issue with it is the battery is on the smaller side, so it doesn’t last for weeks like the Amazon kindled Kindles, but it’s good enough for me when the wifi is off.

      Yeah I have the Libre Colour and it’s great! The pen feels good, it lets you do what you want with it (eg. using Calibre to strip the DRM off your books and loading them via USB, installing KOReader etc.) and it works well with Libby for getting eBooks from the library (at least in Canada.)
