As a reMarkable 2 owner, I’ve tried so hard to integrate the device into my day to day. Unfortunately, the software is an absolute disaster. Sync is chronically broken. The lag between switching notebooks or sometimes just turning pages is annoying. Every software update seems to introduce new new bugs at a rate higher than those being fixed. Don’t just take my word for it. Go check out the reMarkable subreddit - nearly everyone issues this tablet.
I’ve since reverted back to old-fashioned pen and paper. There’s a certain magic about the visual-muscle memory. It generally takes me just a few seconds to find a many months old note in a full notepad.
For anyone considering this advice, please do your research on reMarkable’s software issues. The usual tech adage holds true: it is rare to find hardware companies who can do software right.
Coworker has one, appears to use it frequently and recommends to all.. I played with it for a while and it's a cool gadget, but it's too expensive to take a chance on it. Thanks for the software heads up.
I've tried things like this, the Surface, Galaxy Note 8 and 22, Rocketbook. I always fall back to my Tul Discbound system. I will say the Note 8 and 22 where handy because it was always with me.
