The 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.
