They mention "reMarkable Paper Pro", but I'm not willing to pay a subscription for such a physical device that already is quite expensive.

I see reMarkable says[1] you can use it without a subscription, but I'm not confident they won't pull the rug under my feet.

I don't have a subscription or even an account, and I've had no issues using my reMarkable 2. I literally have not turned on WiFi, but it's been an excellent offline device. Being able to plug it in and connect via ssh is a solid feature.

That being said, my girlfriend loves her Supernote too, so there's plenty of alternatives.

Thanks to your comment, I just discovered Supernote. If you have time, can you comment on the build quality of Supernote, compared to remarkable?

I'm a sucker for high-quality materials and thoughtful aesthetics. Metal / glass over tacky plastic.

They're both well put together, but the reMarkable is a clear winner. It's thinner, denser, prefers metals to plastic, and generally looks and feels like a more premium device. Due to the slim design, however, the reMarkable feels a bit more fragile. Fortunately, the reMarkable case is significantly nicer than the Supernote's. I also prefer the writing experience on the reMarkable, though they're unique enough I won't claim one is objectively better. (The reMarkable feels like writing with pencil and paper, the Supernote feels like writing with a ball point pen. Both are incredibly satisfying! We tried both, and I was planning to return the one and get us both the same model, but we ended up with different preferences.)

Thank you for taking time to write this! Based on your description, it sounds like reMarkable mostly matches my current setup. I'm a heavy user of (mechanical) pencil and paper.

Being an "excellent offline device" also matches one of my core requirements.
