because koreader on a Remarkable 2 is really good, actually, and is probably not feeding my reading list into a marketing profile which may be purchased or subpoenaed at any time by an increasingly dystopian police state? Whereas a Kindle Scribe most definitely is?

Books about abortion, say, or being a queer teenager?

Right, like I said, if you have some ideological issue with the Scribe/Amazon, you’re going to be happier w/ the Remarkable. If you hate subscriptions, you’re going to find a reason to be mad about the Remarkable.

I own both Scribe and Remarkable 2. You couldn’t pay me to take notes on the Scribe or read ebooks on the Remarkable.
