I was pretty ok with the "it's just note taking" paradigm. But the problem for me is that it should be "just a note taking" device but with advanced note taking features, not just "nothing more than a sheet of paper".
The number one issue for me was the poor navigation experience. Going from one page to another was a pain if they were not contiguous. This could have been solved by allowing to create "links" between pages for example. But I the end, I found myself writing everything on the current page because getting to a new page in the right place was too long.
Let apart my issue, which maybe is really personal, Remarkable is a remarkably (!) engineered experience. Particularly , the writing experience is impressive.
The new software update lets you hit a button to take you to a "notebook overview" type page, where you can see all the pages in the notebook laid out in a quasi-grid. You can then tap whichever page you want to navigate to. Of course there's always complications with determining which page to use, having to scroll if your notebook has 1000 pages, etc, etc, but I think it might hit the 90% case you're looking for with trying to quickly switch between non-contiguous pages without having to scroll through the whole notebook.
