$100/year or else I "won’t unlock the full potential of (my) paper tablet" that I just paid $400 for? $60/year for cloud storage? What happened to connecting to the Dropbox/OneDrive/iCloud storage I already have and calling it day? Oh, right, recurring revenue. (EDIT: OIC, 3rd-party cloud storage is in the $100/year tier. But then WTF would I need your unlimited cloud...oh, never mind.)
I've recently been trying to talk myself into a remarkable. Now I don't have to. Thanks, Remarkable.
The PineNote is unlikely to be ready any time soon - the development devices will probably ship next year, and it might take years for the software to become stable and usable afterwards. For people who need something sooner, there are still multiple alternatives to Remarkable - Kobo, Onyx Boox, etc.
