The ReMarkable Tablet: A Review

And what about those who can’t/do not have the privilege to buy that premium Sony eReader? It’s never in your interest for any upstart to die.

As to my project, it’s built on 100% democratic open source tech. Pretty lame that I have to tell you this despite having linked to the website earlier.

Good luck to you too, adios!

What does that even mean - "100% democratic open source tech"? Does that mean you built your business on other people and organization's contributions to OSS and that's somehow democratic? Because the open source bits you have out there (Bookiza) seem to be generally geared towards tooling for your for-profit publishing company (Bubblin). To me it seems kind of like what Sony does, for lack of a better analogy.

I am glad you asked.

1. Which open source project do you think isn’t geared (willingly or unwillingly) towards the benefit of a for-profit company?

Or wait.

2. Do you think being registered as a non-profit makes an entity benign?

These questions are (have been) to me as much as they are to you—and it’s also time to sleep. GN.
