I know this is a tad off topic, but the one feature I wish ReMarkable had included is the ability to export your highlights, at least the snap-to-text ones.
Currently I use a third party software, RCU [1], to do this (and it works well!) but one would think ReMarkable could have included this themselves when they added the snap-to-text feature for highlighting!
> One thing I always have wished that my reMarkable 2 had was web browser.
It’s crazy how direct Remarkable is about what their devices are and then the number of people who buy them and wish they were something else.

I don't think that's crazy at all. Many of us like to "value-process" stuff and that just adds more fun and function.
To give a simple example I've got smart lights installed throughout my flat and with the tiniest bit of effort I can get them to do a lot more stuff than they were designed for.

It was not good at reading pdfs before. But now it does. And now you could send it me word documents and webpages.
Now I wish it was better at reading pdfs. And could now load kindlebooks.

Please show me the alternate product that is a full featured tablet with an e-ink screen so I can buy one.

The Supernote, but I wouldn't bother... too gimped to be useful. The built-in apps aren't as good as Remarkable's and tend to fall over when you install third-party apps.
Hardware's slick tho. Real nice kit. Maybe someday the software will be too

When they start following the license, we'll stop complaining. That's not pathological.

Yeah, I wish the Pine Note was more popular.
Looking forward to buying the first consumer-oriented version (nowhere near talented enough a developer to be able to justify the current dev-oriented unit).
