Since this thread is undoubtedly going to devolve into the usual whining about Remarkable that is entirely unrelated to the article at hand, and doesn't understand the intent of the devices, or is based on the entirely unnecessary subscription service, I'll add a positive contribution.

Since receiving the RMPP Move for Christmas, it has become my go-to daily device and other than the obtuse name, I am almost entirely pleased with it.

The writing experience is fantastic. I was skeptical of the pen change from the RM2 but it's been pleasant overall.

Its form-factor seems odd when you read the specs, but it works rather well in practice. It's easy to toss in a bag and go, and does fit in most of my pockets if I need to. It's much more convenient for traveling as an addition to the laptop.

It syncs with my RM2 with minimal issue with scale. Sometimes you have to zoom in but this is easy and natural.

The colors are a nice addition but hardly the main attraction.

The backlight makes it excellent for writing at morning or night in bed without disturbing the S.O..

The minimalism is a feature.

It does okay for PDFs, but that is far from its purpose.

I use it daily for notes, task management, and little printable logic games.

My only minor nits are: changing pens (for logic games mostly) takes more taps than on the RM2. The palm detection is somewhat lacking compared to the RM2 - it tends to change pages or change the zoom level unintentionally when writing on certain parts of the screen. This could be more about my usage of it. I really wish I could add links and/or a table of contents to notes on the device. I wish the zoom level would stick between pages or could be locked in for a document.

What are the usual complaints?

>>bee_ri+Lzc
Needs a subscription for sync, the sync system is pretty basic, the web/desktop experience is poor, no support for things like Google Drive or other cloud storage, and generally very limited software experience on the device.

(This is not to say I fully agree with these, but these are the criticisms I see a lot online)

my only complaint has always been that the contrast between screen color and text color is worse than in other eInk devices and as a consequence need to either wear reading glasses which I tend not to like over time, or use it in direct light, which drastically decreases the utility.

Often when I say this on HN I get told reading is not the purpose of the device, which is really strange since it is one of the mentioned purposes of the device on their site, and also because I just generally find people who don't read what they're writing, or read the text they are making notes in, to be strange people.

on edit: Of course mine is from a few years ago, and have not purchased another for the reasons given above, but have looked at it in the store and it didn't seem to be improved, and obviously it is not the Pro Move under discussion here.
