My eyes disagree, reading papers on any digital medium that isn't powered by e-ink is a big pain.

Remarkable is good. Would love an even larger size.

Yeah, it is on my list when my Kidle eventually dies.

In my experience, Remarkable is mediocre at best ... Battery life is not spectacular, page turning is slow, reading experience is subpar (worse than my 10+ year old Kobo). I mean the screen is great and I enjoy writing on it, but it's not a book/magazine replacement by a long shot.

The Remarkable 2 is very underpowered as an e-reader and the manufacturer is doing themselves a disservice by mentioning it as an option in their marketing. It's a digital notepad, no more.

You gotta check your eyes out then first. Since the introduction of retina displays there’s no reason healthy adjusted eyes will have to feel tired or strained looking at them..

One reason might be the backlit display and the glossy screen. Glossy screens, especially, really strain my eyes.
