There's been a report that PDF documents w/ tables are not handled well --- really curious about what aspect of their PDF handling is the cause of that and if/when/how it will be addressed.

PDFs don't have "junk PostScript", they have PDF object(s) which may or may not have been made w/ PostScript code, and possibly PostScript XObjects which are intentionally created and placed in the stream of other objects and which certain PDF renderers (usually on imagesetters) could make use of, unless the software doing the distilling to PDF is either technically wrong and not adhering to the PDF specification, or maliciously hiding PS code (though w/o a Display PostScript or other PS interpreter, I fail to see the usage in doing so).
How tables are constructed in a PDF (or designed for that matter) can vary pretty wildly, and apparently there is some added tagging involved in PDFs being sent to the KS via e-mail so that they can be marked up (perhaps a resurrection of the "Print Replica" format?). Once I get mine, I'll see if such files can be transferred off, and start disassembling them (Fortunately the PDF spec is available: https://opensource.adobe.com/dc-acro...ence1.7old.pdf and https://web.archive.org/web/20220306..._17_errata.pdf --- though why those twain couldn't be integrated into a single updated document, I'll never understand). |

Like most tech articles on The Guardian more a regurgitated press release or advert than a real review.
Mentions none of the shortcomings. No comparisons or mention late to show. (Sony Digital paper was original, better than reMarkable poorer apart from DPI to Kobo Scribe, or other models of 10.3″ eink). It does mention the price of Elipsa and reMarkable, but not that reMarkable is worse than all other 10.3″ models. https://www.theguardian.com/technolo...ry-life-screen The important bit Quote:

Not sure what they mean by:
>no useful syncing of notebooks I've already found the synching to the Kindle app so as to be able to consult/review Notebooks quite useful. |

It almost goes without saying that they need to add some features, and if they really want this to be a note-taking platform. To me it means you should be able to do this stuff on more than one platform, e.g. extend it to Android and iOS. |

Yes, they do need to add more features (and presumably will).
But it does synch (from the Scribe to the Kindle App), and I find that useful (being able to read/consult my notes at need). Yes, it would be nice for it to be possible to have all Scribe functionality on the App, and have an additional synch option to merge changes back to the Scribe, but the one-way synch which the system currently has is useful for at least some folks, so the absolute statement: >no useful synching of notebooks is patently false for those folks who find being able to read/consult Scribe notes in the Kindle App useful. |
