How is the Remarkable, in your experience, better for your thinking process them, say, a Moleskine notebook?



Not the OP, but as an avid note taker (I prefer A4 sheets), I often have trouble to keep my notes organised (spread over office, home,…).

That is the main reason I’m thinking about an electronic replacement.


Don't just go for the remarkable, it's mainly for designers with a need for sketches. For storing, searching, etc. of notes there are better alternatives without a subscription model, for example the Supernote.


Remarkable’s support is god awful.

I decided to return mine and the entire process took nearly 2 months.

If you buy one, assume you will never get it repaired or return it and that you’ll either keep it forever or buy a new one even if you’re under warranty.

My experience, would not recommend. I’ve heard better things about Supernote.


Personally, the transfer-ability of the notes themselves and the ability to use it to present over video conference. I can email notes directly to others, I can OCR them to text and send to myself to then transfer to whatever I need them in on my computer, and with remote sharing I can hook it up via USB to my computer, share my screen, and have the nicest digital whiteboard for meetings I’ve ever used.

For ‘thinking process’ specifically, I think it’s the ability to have unlimited notebooks in one device. Often while writing notes for one thing I’m inspired about something else, so I can quickly switch to that notebook and jot it down.
