I was debating between that one and the iPad mini! Sounds like an awesome device, must be great for reading as well. The main reason I went for the iPad mini was the size (and apps maybe). Before I had an iPad Air 10.5 inch, and it was just too big for my use, it made it inconvenient. I'm still debating getting one anyway. It has that "coolness factor", and I want it haha. If they ever produce a smaller version I am pretty sure I can not resist.

If size was the only issue, there is also the Supernote A5X (and A6X for that matter) which I've been thinking about, but think I've decided against as it feels like a bit of a halfway house between real paper and an ipad But for you, it might be perfect

  Oh wow! That looks really nice. For reading and such an e-ink display seems nicer. Very tempting haha, I might order one. Can also recommend an iPad btw. Besides being an excellent note taking device it does all sorts of other cool stuff. (If for note taking/drawing; I suggest get one that supports Apple Pencil 2, it's a big improvement.)

  I've got the Supernote A5X and can highly recommend it! (I had bought the RM2 before but returned it – in my book, the Supernote is much better.)

The RM size is an advantage IMHO! It is very thin and does not feel "chunky", but the screen is large enough to be very comfortable for reading and writing (pretty much the same size as a normal notebook page). The main differentiator between the RM and other tablets (such as iPad), besides the excellent "write on e-ink" interface, is that the RM device is very committed to a minimalistic approach. There are lots of "features" that would be trivial for them to implement (notifications, email, messaging, socials, etc) that they have deliberately chosen not to support in the official software. Instead, the RM is focused on only providing the cleanest approach to reading and note taking. This approach is perfect for some people's desires and use cases, but not for everyone...

  It's impossible to make a one-size-fits-all device. For me, the Remarkable is too small. I wish they would come out with an A4-sized display. That's the size of paper I generally take notes on and it's the native size for most PDFs.

It's worth noting that the Remarkable2 has placed a lot of the best features (namely, syncing via the internet) behind an $8 a month subscription. It pushed me away from it.
