It's beautiful hardware matched with absolutely horrid software. It's Android 4.0, which means literally nothing works. They've tried to fix it with custom apps, but I still can't achieve a decent work-flow and there's no community to make it better. It's actually the worst.

That is awfully wrong, it boots a custom linux-based OS, not Android. You are probably talking about other device (probably the yotaphone).

I use the remarkable for taking notes on online courses, and works wonders.

Whelp, they marketed it as Android and it had access to the Google Play store, so I thought it was Android...

Seems I was wrong! I still maintain its very poor for reading papers I've found on my phone and then syncing the annotations.

Omg. I got the goodereader.com 13.3 inch confused with the Remarkable ereader. I have no idea how, but here we are...

Sweet, this is my second stupidest comment on this website.

Nothing shameful about making a mistake, happens to the best of us. But you might want to edit your first comment to point out that you were referring to a different device in case people don't make it this far down the comment thread.

I think the edit button ages out and I've missed the window?

I read books with it and it's wonderful.

Do you have a citation or reference for this? Being stuck on and depending on Android 4 would be a downer but it doesn’t seem to be the case from a cursory look. Or maybe I’m just wishfully hoping it’s not the case.
