I've never once had a problem turning the page (it's just swipe left from the right edge, feels extremely natural).
You can write a lot smaller than you think you can when you first start. My first few pages were comically full of huge writing. Now I use the "small lined" template and fit my writing to that, and it's fine. Roughly equivalent to A4 (rather than the OP's A5).
I read technical books on it, and it works. It's not the same experience as my e-reader that I read novels at night on, but I find the Remarkable experience better for technical and workshop books (and recipes).
The pen eraser is a little rough, but the eraser option from the menu is more precise. Depends on what I'm erasing as to what I use.
Advantages over paper:
- I can move whole chunks of text around the page (or copy-paste between documents). I use this a lot
- I have ~500 pages of notes on my Remarkable. I cannot carry that much paper easily.
- I create lots of notebooks, with meaningful titles (a lot of those notebooks are 1-2 pages long, which is fine), so finding stuff is a breeze. I don't use the OCR because I don't need it. I can't find stuff in paper notebooks nearly as easily.
I have a (homemade) paper journal that I enjoy writing in for journaling - there's something about making marks on paper, and about making journals, that I enjoy. For everything else, I use my Remarkable, and it's been great.
