Eink ecosystem expanding with Mudita and Remarkable

I recently punched a Remarkable Paper Pro and I am waiting to receive my Mudita Kompakt. I have been a LP2 user for the last two to three years as my sole device and I’ve had my Onyx Boox Note Air 3C as a full time student. I love eink design and functionality. Here are some thoughts on all of them:

LP2: Functional and limits distractions but not a reliable GPS system and the battery drains quick throughout the day. It’s seriously reduced my social media addiction throughout the years and that was the original intention of the device but I’m looking forward to updating my LP2 to the Mudita Kompakt to have better battery life while also sustaining the eink lifestyle …

Onyx Boox Note Air 3C: I love this device so much. I use it mostly to read books and write notes for school. The colour is great to differentiate my notes. I would say the only thing is that now my tablet is freezing after only a year of use … I would say the manufacturers lack long term use with the battery that is installed. I recently ordered a Remarkable Paper Pro to have a cleaner aesthetic and to go back to the essentials of just reading and writing. Originally, I thought that I would use multiple apps on the Boox but I tend to use it to just read and write so I’m going to give the Remarkable Paper Pro a try …

Some devices that I want to try: Onyx Boox Palma 2, LP3

I looked at reMarkable a year or two ago but did not like the possibly-privacy-invading cloud services that reMarkable was using.

Is there a way now to use a reMarkable tablet with a Nextcloud-based service?

I don’t think so … but I know it’s optional to synch your data with google and what not. I’m pretty sure they have their own cloud but perhaps look into it a bit. I’m mostly using mine for school notes on anatomy … so I’m not too concerned with the privacy of the device.

Sadly Pure seems not to be tested enough before release (both hw and sw) and I hope that is lesson well learned. But looking at both Harmony and phones line (now with Kompakt) its great relatively small Polish company can pride itself with multiple e-ink devices.
Hopefully, it will expert itself in it, and continue including advanced e-ink screens (like HiSense started with colour e-ink after A5), with in-time better contrast and PPI.
Hopefully, this (black and white / 16 grayscale) e-ink world is “just the beginning”.
I would (if software possible) opt for reverted colours for better contrast (black background with white font) which was great on back e-ink screen of Yota Phone 2.
