My biggest reservation about remarkable is the subscription service. How is the experience if you don’t pay for the Connect service?

not exactly what you asked for but there's a community project you can selfhost[1] that emulates the cloud on your own server

I use rmfakecloud even though i'm grandfathered in to the cloud. It's great.

I locked the fw on my remarkable 2 to 2.x and used ddvk hacks and it's just worked for years. I don't need any new features.

I've been considering downgrading tbh. The new stuff is mostly good, but the infinite-page conflicts a lot with other gestures (I really wish I could disable it) and it's overall noticeably slower nowadays.

For a while I kept feeling the urge to upgrade. Now I view it as an appliance so the urge is gone.

It's fine. You really don't need to pay for the connect service.

rm2 owner since it was released over 5y ago. connect service works well but is wholly optional.

I'm curious too, because there is a help page[1] linked in the FAQ that appears to be completely blank!

huh that loads for me. appears to require some javascript tho.

please note that no subscription != no cloud. of the features listed in the help page all but "tags" require an remarkable cloud account and may stop working if remarkable cloud ever shuts down.
