I have a first-gen ReMarkable and I love it. I use it mostly to take notes in meetings and as a scratch pad. The small vertical separation between the surface and the screen and the replaceable tips make it feel _very_ close to writing on real paper. For PDFs, I found the first-gen processor to be too slow to be practical. I doubt this has improved much. The e-Ink screen can make flipping through past notes a bit of a pain. For reading/later reference, I prefer opening the notes on a real computer via the desktop app/cloud sync. I did not order the ReMarkable 2 because I felt the upgrades were not worth the price. While I would love to have an eraser tip and USB-C, it _is_ still a very expensive gadget.
