In my experience, Remarkable is mediocre at best ... Battery life is not spectacular, page turning is slow, reading experience is subpar (worse than my 10+ year old Kobo). I mean the screen is great and I enjoy writing on it, but it's not a book/magazine replacement by a long shot.
The Remarkable 2 is very underpowered as an e-reader and the manufacturer is doing themselves a disservice by mentioning it as an option in their marketing. It's a digital notepad, no more.
You gotta check your eyes out then first. Since the introduction of retina displays there’s no reason healthy adjusted eyes will have to feel tired or strained looking at them..
