I have the reMarkable on my watchlist, and I'm eager to see it in action and play a little bit with it before I commit to a purchase.

Sony makes one, https://www.sony.com/electronics/digital-paper-notepad for $700 but it's a product being sold to consumers, so tinkering with the underlying OS (reputed to be Linux, in the form of Android) isn't supported.

(There are a number of other 8.5"x11" eink PDF readers out there.)

The Digital Paper Notepad is a discontinued product. What other 8.5"x11" eink readers are there?

Apart from the "Runs Linux" you might be able to find a Kindle DX. And then you might be able to hack it to run Linux.

I bought one used in university and would use it for reading PDFs. Really slow refresh rate, but who cares if you're just reading big pages?
