Will be real interesting to see where reMarkable goes
's complaint is similar to mine for MarginNote and LiquidText
Reading devices and writing need to support higher level remixing of knowledge chuncks
Across books and projects

Since the hardware's solid, perhaps the software flaws will improve. They sure have more velocity than the Kindle! But beyond the flaws, the real bummer for me is a deep lack of imagination in the software design. It takes the metaphor too literally. It so just wants to be paper.

One weird thing about this is that ofc LiquidText *does* support composing chunks across books. I think the problem w/ projects may be more that it poorly supports composing chunks across *time*. A LiquidText workspace seems a little like a sticky note wall—mostly write-only.

(which is super valuable as a kind of sense-making of course! the people making the sticky note wall build a ton of understanding while they compose it! but that artifact itself usually can't meaningfully accrete into other artifacts after that initial session…)
