My remarkable 2 seems to work for me. I am always struggeling with note taking. Some times, it makes sense to write directly at the PC, but on occasion pen and paper is the way to go. Problem with paper is that I tend to, either lose it or crumple it and it becomes useless.
With my remarkable I seem to be able to doodle notes better.
For doing homework with the kids, and especially maths, the remarkable is remarkable
we can burn through pages and pages of notes explaining and solving problems.
Using a pen and a medium you can write on is extremely useful, and until you can PAVE the walls with screen and make them as endurable as paper - I will continune to prefer pen + paper.
- musingsole 4y agoThe reMarkable tablet is the best innovation on pen and paper since the ballpoint pen. It's become a thinking tool more so than any other electronic device I have, and it has me daydreaming about a tablet and stylus based computing environment.
- shanebellone 4y agoAre these really worth it? I'm interested in the concept but worry it's not as practical as it looks.
- e12e 4y agoI am happy with my rm2, largely because the note taking/sketching feels great. It's pretty bad as an e-reader unfortunately. It's slow, and sometimes feels unresponsive - although the software keeps getting better. For reading it would have benefitted immensely from a pair of hw buttons for page turning. That said - unless you really want exactly the rm2 - I'd say it's maybe two to three times as expensive as it "should" be.
- shanebellone 4y agoI agree with you. I'd buy this at a $200 price point without hesitation.
- ek750 4y agoI don't have any experience with the remarkable, but i recently got a kindle scribe and it's better than the boox ereaders/tablets i've gotten over time. The clarity, density and speed of the kindle's screen is miles better than boox, probably close to remarkable if the videos are any indication. I got the Scribe for the large screen to read ebooks, but the pen and its responsiveness and feel is surprisingly good. i don't know if it does handwriting recognition, but the notebook app has been surprisingly fun for me to jot down notes when i'm contemplating a design problem.
- shanebellone 4y agoThe Kindle Scribe is also overpriced IMO. Plus, native advertisements (even when there's a paid upgrade) offends me as a consumer.
- kaba0 4y agoIs that really that much better than an ipad air/pro? I don’t particularly care, but some people buy a paper-like screen protector as well.
- nonoesp 4y ago"Burning through pages" is a great way to put it. No need to worry about sheets of paper lying around or scanning and document what you do. It's all there. I especially like that, with the "fineliner," strokes are vector polylines (as opposed to shapes in other brushes) that can be used later to simplify, redraw, and animate documents.
