>If you're someone who will tinker with your Remarkable (or PineNote), I seriously recommend trying an iPad.

Like you rightly stated in the previous para, I cannot disagree more with this statement.

eInk like passive displays are in a league of their own compared to active displays even if it is Apple who is making those.

eInk displays are "in a league of their own" compared LCDs in very specific ways just like LCDs are "in a league of their own" in others.

It's fine if you strongly prefer one, but it's kind of weird to strongly disagree with recommending looking at another option.

Like I said, once upon a time I believed that it wasn't worth trying. On a whim I did, and it turns out it's great.

The point of my comment is to show what changed without prejudice, but apparently that's quite an inflammatory thing. I guess forgot about the "I'd replace every screen in my life with e-ink in a minute" cabal, which does tend to be pretty sure their opinions are The One True Way.
