I have a Remarkable 2. I cannot describe how much I love the writing experience on it. I don't think any other standard tablet has ever come close to that.
I also feel like you for the paid Connect account, which I work around using open source tools that you're free to run on it. You can SSH as root easily and run whatever you want. I do it frequently for screen sharing.
- chx 5y agoI always find funny how people gush over the Remarkable especially the writing aspect. I for one find the lack of progress astonishing. Because, you know, if you wanted great writing experience you could've used a CrossPad ... 25 years ago. You write on a notebook -- with a quality pen manufactured by Cross as the name suggests -- the CrossPad records it as vector strokes. Done. In 25 years the progress we got is there's a screen now but that's all. The device still can't do, say, offline OCR or indeed anything useful beyond what the CrossPad used to do.
- karamanolev 5y agoI have contemplated a more fully-functional device, but I don't get the need for OCR - I can type way more accurately on my keyboard than I can write. By a lot. Anyway... I've had other devices with pens, but never really used them. I got the Remarkable for my wife and it really compels me to use it, but not with any features, just the writing aspect. I can't tell you whether it's the texture, the screen or something else, but it just does. I admit the same could happen with other E Ink writing devices like the Onyx Max Lumi 2, but I don't have any of them to confirm.
