I'm an owner of the original Kindle Scribe. It's a great piece of hardware, but it's software is sorely sorely sorely lacking. There's basic functionality that you would expect, missing.
So tech problems someone else mentioned put aside for a memont, The first edition Kindle Scribe was a great piece of hardware For someone who just wants a top of the end Kindle.
But for somebody looking for a robust digital note taker / annotator / etc, I highly highly recommend looking at the Scribe's competitors as well.
A lot of negative reviews reporting edge bleeding, blurry pixels, and dark spots. Wonder if the price drop is clearing out inventory before they get fixed ones in. I'm going to wait.

40 hours of battery with wireless off, no writing, brightness at 13 (which I assume is low)
iPad 10th generation at 280 or less now seems like a better buy to me
If you are writing it does not compare. If you are doing a lot of reading it does not compare. The Scribe is way better at both. If you want to do anything else stick to an iPad.

Kindle - Great for reading but just okay at note taking.
Remarkable supports epub and PDF, you'll need to remove the DRM & convert your Kindle books with an app like Calibre.

The software is designed to work with this much RAM, you are not running arbitrary software on it.

Not a RAM related problem

I never see the Remarkable 2 on sale but it is very good for notetaking.
