SSH in and you have access to basically everything. The stock setup has two partitions for the OS (it toggles between them when you update, or toggles back if it fails to boot a few times) so you can: Dual boot (disable updates and install any two you like): https://remarkable.guide/tech/dualboot.html Some lower level details here: https://github.com/ddvk/remarkable-hacks/issues/304 And installing a specific release is largely automated: https://github.com/ddvk/remarkable-update Last time I did it, I just did it manually - back up the OS version you want over ssh, then restore it whenever you want (on the non-active partition). And screwed it up the first time, and had to do a recovery: https://github.com/ddvk/remarkable2-recovery (requires using the contact pads on the spine for USB access - not too hard to solder up a pogo pin thing, bu

Having tried a number of notebook type devices I'll just add that the Remarkable (v2) is excellent. It is not a computer, not an iPad, just an excellent digital notepad and eReader. Price, yeah its high but you get what you pay for and this is something I do find genuinely useful for reading and taking notes. Is it perfect? Far from it. There are lots of silly UI decisions that make no sense (e.g. limited pen size) and clunky modal menu system. So there is room for improvement. Why they don't incorporate the ddvk remarkable hacks into an update in one quick update I do not know - the ddvk hacks change the remarkable from a good device to a great one. See here: https://github.com/ddvk/remarkable-hacks But otherwise, I would recommend strongly for these specific use-cases. I still have to have a laptop with me occasionally, and sometimes an

Not sure if this is stock or provided by https://github.com/ddvk/remarkable-hacks but I can change the template per page.

The remarkable is not able to do split screen (for now). Instead, you can install the [ddvk hacks](https://github.com/ddvk/remarkable-hacks) for fast switching between recent documents and a swipe to the previous document. I'd recommend the remarkable2 as the hacker friendliness makes quite a difference

If a guy could create amazing ux improvements without access to code [1] and by binary patching I’d assume a vc funded company could also. I consider this patch to be essential for my sanity [1] https://github.com/ddvk/remarkable-hacks

> For example, there's no direct switching between documents. In case you haven't seen it already: https://github.com/ddvk/remarkable-hacks The ddvk hacks are easy to apply and reversible. They add a bunch of gestures like instantly flipping between documents. One of my other favorites is a quick swipe gesture to switch to the last-used tool. I don't want to annotate PDFs and then only save the annotations, but it sounds like biff would help with that if you don't mind another tool in the chain: https://github.com/soulisalmed/biff

I strongly suggest you try this out https://github.com/ddvk/remarkable-hacks For me it's been a game changer

I have used the iPad but not with the paper-like screen protector so I can't comment on that configuration. The feel of the remarkable is much better in my opinion. Tbh, it's not only about that, I'm really trying to reduce my interactions with modern tech (especially the notifications, email drip campaigns and such) and this is the main benefit of remarkable for me, but it might not be for everyone. I'm gonna work towards just sending pdfs of articles/papers to it automatically and having it as my main way of consuming media. The remarkable could use some more usability features (https://github.com/ddvk/remarkable-hacks thinking of installing this), and a backlight but it is what it is

Yes, I've read quite a few maths and CS journal articles and conference papers on it, including some two-column ones. Things I'd have previously printed on paper. It's a good substitute (I'm happy, and I'm reading more, as this device can help me stay away from laptop/phone), with a couple of caveats: - The screen size is slightly smaller than a regular A4 or Letter sized sheet of paper. You can go to "Adjust View" on the reMarkable and choose a smaller region of each page to fill the available screen (i.e., get rid of the margins and header/footer), which increases the size a bit. - Academic papers often have footnotes / references on the last page or two, and if you care about them you'll want to flip back and forth (or in some cases you may also want to flip between two separate documents), which is quite a bit more annoying on this de
