Happened to be near a Best Buy that had a reMarkable 2 on display, and it seems nice, but do I need this? It seems like it would have been absolutely amazing for university when we ahem obtained pdf textbooks and this would have allowed me to carry all of them and annotate them.
I don’t know what I’d actually do with it. But I love the aesthetics of it and handwriting notes is a big part of how I do things when I function - so maybe it would be really awesome? #reMarkable2
My initial dismissal of the Kindle Scribe is fading away with every passing day of use.
Yes, it’s still mostly a (excellent) reader with some note-taking (far better than expected) capabilities, but it is very convenient and it serves the purpose I wanted from it - focus on learning in a distraction-free way.
I’m still testing it, but it looks like I may keep it.
#Readwise's Reader just released a new version on #Android and #iOS with paged scrolling. Meaning, it's no longer just endless scrolling, but you can use the physical buttons and/or tap to scroll page by page.
This is especially useful for #eInk devices, such as my #BOOX Leaf 2! Don't forget to enable reduced animations for an even better experience!

I am looking forward to doing artwork in ink everyday of October, following a list of prompts.
I have not quite made up my mind if this year I’m doing it in e-ink on a #remarkable2 or continue in my postcard sized artbook as I’ve done for the past 7 years.
I’ve had a #remarkable2 e-ink tablet for a week (second-hand from the good @nicosomb who sold it to me)
I use it all day long, every day, as a companion to my computer. It’s much better than filling up paper books which make it hard to retrieve previous notes in a timely manner or at all.
I can share my notes (converted to typed text or not), re-use parts of them elsewhere, copy & paste, scale, rotate, I can type, or draw.
It lacks straight lines and shapes though! But it fosters creativity.
@ndw I was totally aware of it (and other e-ink products generally) but had not considered it for myself (until a friend sold his) because I already own an iPad and I thought it would be a waste of coin/material and frivolous.
BUT, it's not. It's really convenient and quite portable too (but works only in daylight of course).
Directories (including nested sub-directories) and labels make it a useful and versatile "pensieve".
The #remarkable2 marketing argument "distraction free" is also true.
Anyone here got a #remarkable2 and want to convince me - one way or the other - whether to take the plunge?
I like reading on #eink - but I crave a bigger screen. I don't handwrite if I can help it.
Perhaps there's a bigger read-only device I should consider?
Question/ help request
Is there a way for someone using #remarkable2 to see where an (A4, if relevant) prortrait page ends while writing in landscape mode?
überlege, mein sehr altes #kindle an das #Kind (6) weiterzugeben, das vermutlich bald einen eigenen Reader gut brauchen kann. Wäre ein weiterer Schritt zum #AmazonBoykott bei sinnvoller Nachnutzung für mich. Mir selbst würde ich dann evtl. ein #Remarkable2 kaufen, das scheint wahnsinnig toll zu sein. Mir fehlte bisher immer die Reinkritzel-Funktion ins Buch. Wichtige Bücher kaufte ich daher doppelt, absoluter Unsinn. Hat jmd von euch Erfahrung mit dem Remarkable? #eReader
I recently got a used #Remarkable2 tablet and am absolutely loving it.
The case it came with is pretty meh. I went looking on amazon and saw just cheesy-ass "business professional" looking leather cases and thought "I could make something better than that!" And now I'm wondering if i should really bother going down this rabbit hole or just spend $30 on an "ok" looking non-leather case.
Had a bit more of a play with the colour e-ink reader/tablet and starting to really like it. I put a more advanced sketch app on there and it's like having a magic sheet of paper, works so well with the stylus and fingers to scroll/rotate, which is nothing special on an iPad but this is on E Ink. Quite amazing.
I'm no artist but just like everyone who had DPaint on the Amiga I'm just having fun doing stupid doodles. Great for my lock screen :)
