Yes, looks as though it has just been released.

rM1 began to show signs that its time is almost up, similar to what you have described. It felt sluggish, and cable connectivity was a hit or miss. I’m really glad I upgraded.

If it is your ReMarkable account, you can sign into it on the new device and keep your subscription until it runs out.

The marker wipe is not a bad idea, I might give that a try. I’m too nervous to try any stronger magnets in case it damages the device. Thanks for the tip!

I’m pretty careful, I don’t take my remarkable out and about, and I use the book cover from their store. It’s been a few days and it doesn’t appear to be clearing up :(
