I bought a pinenote after the charing port on the rm2 stopped working. With the rm2 it would refuse to wake sometimes if it's not charged to 100% slowly, the pen ghosting issue continued to get worse the longer it was in use even with a replaced tip, the web interface wasn't the most practical to add new books with (via SSH it's also a bit annoying as forced to reverse engineer their JSON format), deleting files via the interface at one point didn't delete them on disk so had to remove them via SSH, and so on.

I never had a subscription and locking features which could be run locally on the device behind a service is rather annoying.

And yes, those issues were worse after the a firmware update.
