Does the ReMarkable have an ePub reader? My existing ebook collection is mostly DRM-free ePubs.

Yes - this is primarily how I use mine. It doesn't have close to the polish of something like iBooks unfortunately, but it works.

See, this is the main problem about buying new technology. The device is marketed as a graceful solution for all your "paper needs."

My principle need for a tablet has always been ebook consumption. The ebook readers on Linux I've seen all look like hot garbage. Sure, Calibre allows you to manage massive ebook collections. Now let me have a book experience that doesn't look like 1999.

On the rm1 you can install KOreader which works very well.

It has an integrated reader as well I think but I never tried, I heard it's not great.
