I have a Remarkable 2 as well that I love. But I also have an old Sony PRS-500 that is still kicking along and takes ePubs without any problems.
the remarkable software is proprietary. they just run it on linux and give you root via ssh, but installing anything voids your warranty…
Maybe I’m jaded / cynical, but that seems like a pretty reasonable compromise. If you want to take responsibility and install your software from scratch then nothing is guaranteed. I’d take that deal.
It’s okay, definitely was worth it for me.
But I still think its kinda weird to put out a 400$ device and then say: “here’s full ssh root access, but don’t use it”
So it’s basically just a Kindle but you don’t have to use an exploit to gain root access?
