If the book isn’t indexed into a table of contents, yeah it can be annoying. Will never beat the power of a proper computer with a keyboard and fast display. Though, I did manage to install emacs on my ereader (and keyboard) which was kinda funny to use, but too laggy to be practical.
High refresh rate combined with low input latency is still a cutting-edge (read: expensive) feature, but I hope economy of scale will change this a bit each year. All the brands are building from the same components pumped out of China; there are other brands like Boox that are a bit cheaper and applying a downward pressure on brands like Remarkable. I own a Supernote, which was a big investment for me, but I was happy with the modular design (including easily replaceable battery) which in theory means I can spread the cost over many years, replacing parts as they wear.
I hope that these devices become cheaper and cheaper. Keep an eye out also for refurbished and open-box sales
E-ink devices that support writing / stylus input are the actually good hybridization of paper and digital reading
Seeking through PDF books is pretty painful. Not the devices fault, PDF is just a pretty shit format to view.

I wish I could afford a remarkable. They look pretty sweet.

Oh yeah, I’m all about that second hand market.
I had one in college for notes, can confirm it’s really nice
I encourage you to look at Supernotes. I got a used Remarkable only because Supernotes weren’t readily available second-hand.
Supernoted.
