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.
@koalie Oh yeah, I mean, if the Remarkable works for you, then I think it’s better to swallow the service price for convenience. I just meant to say in my big table of things of what tablet to get, this was one of the points against the Remarkable.

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.
@koalie Is the surface pleasant to write on? I like my tablet, but I don't use it for note taking as much as I thought I might because frankly it's not very pleasant to write on, even with a rubber tip on the stylus.
@ndw it's pleasant to write on. For the first day or two, it was as though I was writing with a pencil on something that isn't quite the paper I'm used to, but more like some thicker cardboard.
It's not at all compared to the friction-less glass surface of the iPad which for me has always felt weird and too slippery.
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?
