I never owned a Quirklogic, but their headquarters were in Canada if I remember correctly (I believe in Alberta?), so as a Canadian it was cool to see someone closer to home getting into the Eink market. I loved the idea of the massive Quilla - it would be awesome for large meetings, and as a new teacher I would have loved to have one for my classroom 🤩😅! It sucks to see any company go down, the more the merrier in the Eink world, I like seeing some variety in our options as customers. Competition leads to innovation as companies compete to produce the best or the cheapest product for their customer base. It's a shame they went out of business.
I am not only nostalgic of the Quirklogic Papyr, I am also still sad. Sad because even the Remarkable Pro doesn't have all the features the Papyr had.(like, no dictionary in the remarkable to look up word from text? What is that? The remarkable is nice, but feel "closed" and I don't get the same "vibe" the Papyr gave me when working on it). Like you mentioned in your video, Quirklogic really listened to it's customer, it was a fun an exciting moment every time we received a software update. So sad they went out of business. Still the best dedicated notetaking/pdf reader experience to me.
The touch screen/digitiser slowly died on me and there is nowhere to get these repaired. Shame, as I had started sideloading Android apps on it. Currently investigating swapping a screen from another compatible unit.....
Cool. I do think the Eink industry will get much bigger once the prices come down to a reasonable level.. Lot's of people still use paper notebooks, so if there are good quality (writing feel) $50-$100 note taking devices, the market would explode. The shift would then focus on software capabilities and workflows. Who knows, Apple may add something to the IPad soon
Love this!
This is so wholesome. Thank you for giving e a smile.
They've had quite a nice features, at that time on EInk, which we wish the RMPP even has, like Split Screen. Nice device and company, it was...

You know 100% agree with you, was really looking forward to the Papyr 2 but we just didn't get it :( Thanks for the comment!

You know if you could find somebody with the Sony tech - I am sure there are thousands now floating out there.
Mine is also now in a drawer 😢
Sad right I loved that back in the day - what are you using now?
@@morningcoach had been using the Boox tab C, but I really like the rM Paper Pro! The larger size is nice, and I think the colors are sharper
I was going to buy it and then it went out of business. They had a good thing going!!! Sad for sure.
Yes really liked what they where doing :(
Same here! I was about to place the order.
@@morningcoach What do you think the odds are the reMarkable's new CEO will push Quirk like features or at least improve typing options/features?
