None of that in the production version I am using.

Most of the innovation seems to be on the hardware side. As far as I understand, this is what it is in terms of resolution, sensitivity, etc.; I doubt that it can be upgraded.
The software seems quite simple—“No tablet has fewer functionalities than reMarkable (you can quote us on that)”. It recently received an update and I understand that more are to follow. https://blog.remarkable.com/first-software-update-from-remarkable-1277e17a59c

Indeed, if your eyes and brain are happy with the IPS offerings, you should not need to look elsewhere. Mine aren’t.

There’s something similar for computers: http://www.dasung.com/english/

Interesting. I guess I’m very lucky, as I can work all day (and sometimes part of the night) on IPS displays and not suffer from any eye strains, headaches or other brain fatigue.
For me, contrast and color are the two key display characteristics and IPS does it perfectly (I suppose OLED would too, but I never used one)

This seems quite remarkable (pun not intended); I’d be very interested to hear about your experience with it. The problem I see is that Android and its applications rely too much on colour by default.
I’m using a similar computer display http://www.dasung.com/english/ which, like the Oaxis InkCase mentioned above, is clearly intended as a secondary display.
