If you want something you can use today with a Kindle or other e-reader I made an app for this https://solarwriter.msol.io

For MacOS users of Hammerspoon, I made a similar plugin based on devoting the screen into successively smaller 3x3 grids: https://github.com/msolomon/griddle

It’s free and fully customizable too.

If anyone is looking for a much cheaper alternative to this very impressive device for the sole purpose of typing or writing in daylight, I made a mobile app you can use in conjunction with a Kindle or other e-reader: https://solarwriter.msol.io

I would buy the RM2 in a heartbeat if it supported a keyboard over usb or Bluetooth.

Having an outdoor-friendly typewriter where text is saved seamlessly would be awesome for focused writing. I did my best to make it easy on a phone+keyboard+kindle (with SolarWriter https://msolomon.github.io/solarwriter-website/ ), but the Remarkable is so so close to the ideal experience—it just needs keyboard support.

If this piqued your interest in playing one, I wrote a modern audio-based CYOA and accompanying app to play it: https://playroadtripadventures.com

It’s great for playing with others while you travel!
