I'm a big reMarkable fan, but I came in on v2 so I can't say for sure. My recollection is that v1 earned early fans and is probably quite good. I got the new Paper a few weeks ago and love it.
You will appreciate that you can ssh to a root shell over USB! Cloud service not required.
You will never find a better e-reader. It also is kind of good for the notes and stuff with the software updates. It's worth booting up IMO. Reminds me I need to wipe mine and give it to my wife so she can set up on her machine (it has dumb limitations)
The newer ones are way more impressive but the one I have is from late 2019 and it's held up. I just use my iPad more now. But she's a note taker / reviews way more documents than me.
