pipes-and-rust
A small program that runs on your reMarkable 2 and reads the pen movements and paints them on a small website hosted on the tablet itself. No need to install anything else.

I agree that it should just be a mass storage device.
Fwiw you can connect it to Wifi and transfer files using an open source GUI program called ReMy. It uses ssh.

2. It's a relatively open system (compared to other e-ink readers), so it's pretty fun in terms of hackability.
I did get the forever free subscription which helps, but I also totally understand why they would want to charge for that, and I think the new $3/month is a pretty reasonable price for it.
Regarding instapaper use case and also hackability, shameless plug: I wrote https://github.com/fishy/url2epub for my own use case, so instead of relying on a third party service and manually sync stuff to reMarkable 2, I just send the link to the telegram bot (I picked telegram bot so that I can easily send links from my phone, not only desktops), and the epub will be auto synced to my reMarkable cloud account (they did made some changes to the cloud api causing I have to manually open their official mobile or desktop app to sync once before the reMarkable 2 itself would accept the new epub I uploaded through url2epub, haven't figured out how to avoid that yet, but it's still mostly automated).
It's a vector format. It's better documented here: https://plasma.ninja/blog/devices/remarkable/binary/format/2... and there's a 3rd party API by the same author at https://github.com/ax3l/lines-are-beautiful
The desktop app has the ability to export to SVG: https://support.remarkable.com/s/article/Exporting-files
> I love the writing feel of E-Ink; the software makes it unusable.
Agreed. It needs specially designed software.

I am.
I recently got a Nova Air C and I'd like to do a few things with it. I'm mostly interested in getting an optimized terminal to use with the rooting feature, to replace the termux frontend by something that'd be better optimized for eink while reusing termux packaged tools.
There seems to be private APIs to do great software, at least on the Sony DPT, Mooink and Fujitsu Quaderno devices from the Sony spinoff Linfiny.
For example, check how this gets faster rewrites on a more limited zone: https://github.com/DPT-RP1/dpt-canvas
A terminal often writes to a small portion of the screen, so everything else could remain static and without ghosting, while this portion of the screen getting new characters would get fast text rewrites, a bit like how you when you write on the notetaking app, it shows immediately yet a bit fuzzy, then it's redrawn later in high quality.
In would require talking to these APIs (so maybe with different modes for different brands like Linfiny/Boox/Remarkable/Kindle) + maintaining a simple map of the terminal screen to do invalidation/refresh as needed.
It draws all penstrokes on a camvas in the browser and also deletes strokes when the eraser is used.

Boox has an SDK that is a little bit documented here: https://github.com/onyx-intl/OnyxAndroidDemo
It's a bit hard to understand what component to use for what, if my motivation allows and you're interested I can look for my notes about it. I've personally used the third-party PNGNote as a nice reference: https://github.com/karino2/PngNote
