| I loved my RM1, by far the best e-ink reader/note taker I have had. I had to switch to a Boox though, as I grew bored of having to maintain a Windows VM with a downgraded Calibre to convert my Amazon purchases to ebooks for reading on the Remarkable. I now have my Boox with the Amazon Kindle app and can natively read my books, and the writing feeling is almost as good as on the Remarkable. |

| Why do you need a windows vm for calibre? It’s java, it works on windows linux and mac (and likely bsd too)? |

Essentially the whole process is not doable nowadays with stronger DRMs. | | |

| ▲ | Galanwe 4 days ago | parent [-] | | To buy books ? I don't know of any other book provider with an extensive catalog. Also Amazon often have authors into a exclusive agreement, so it's not like it will change anytime soon. | | |
