[@dannydivine7699]

@lukefriggieri8344 remember the reMarkable does NOT include any marker / pen at all, nor does it include any kind of protective case / cover, so to keep the comparison valid those have to be considered. Another thing to consider is the reMarkable has no frontlight and until recently most of the multitude of boox devices are front lit devices. Again considerations to maintain valid comparisons. Most boox devices have an SD card memory expansion capability that reMarkable lacks. Lastly go check out the NEW boox GO 10.3 device, it is an absolute direct competitor to the rm2.

Don't be fooled; I own several e-ink tablets, including the Boox Ultra Tab C. 150 DPI in color makes it very pixilated. The lack of contrast between the ink and the screen is very noticeable. While I appreciate the Boox for what it can do, if you are reading or writing in black and white, I highly suggest a non-color option with greater contrast and higher resolution. A reMarkable with 300+ dpi and whiter background would be ideal. Even the new reMarkable Paper Pro seems to compromise color for some contrast.

[@cameroncz3197]

I have this device and it isn't distracting at all for me. I can clearly focus on tasks. It is because I turn off notifications and, I could say, e-ink screen isn't such hypnotic with contrasts and colours like OLEDs so it isn't such pleasure for animal in us to ditract ourself with something. I hardly use any social media. Only at time I really want and need it like now when I am writing this comment. I use it like tablet/PC but for most of note-taking I have reMarkable. It may be also thing of my inner setting with this device and more of a control of my internal triggers tha lead me to distractions. But I would be in sometime taking course to be Indistractable so I can level up.

[@hughjassstudios9688]

That's a non issue. The ability to use apps won't make you use the apps because the OS design is about as minimalistic as any other notes/reading focused e-paper device. The refresh rate would keep you from wanting to consume content (other than books) for extended periods anyway.
