Remarkable you already nailed the hardware. Please give us the software that we deserve :')
!!!PLEASE!!! I wanna buy it but not with a beta "look it nearly feels like paper" but it is even worth to use it.
Ao menos eles tem a possibilidade de consertar isso com uma simples atualização para todos!
I don't even ask for too much. Can you give two more colors. Blue and red???
True. Moved long ago from rM1 as the writing alone is not enough. I need to encorporate what I write whether a note or in pdf /eboub into a productive system. A kindle maybe. I tried boox which was OK. But I am getting supernote a5x soon as it seems to tick many boxes of the above.
The list of the reader needs is just spot on... i really hope someone in the company watches this and recognises the need for these features
they seem ignorant or incompetent. 3 years and no improvements!!!
Sideloading Koreader solves most of my complaints with the reader software but, of course, it doesn't support drawing. :/
@@ahanuban What is Sideloading Koreader?
@tinyentropy koreader is an open-source eReader software that is compatible with remarkable. It's on github. "sideloading" means installing software that isn't normally available on the device but can be loaded manually.
"Installation on ReMarkable · koreader/koreader Wiki · GitHub" github.com/koreader/koreader/wiki/Installation-on-Remarkable
@@ahanuban If you use Koreader are you able to highlight and annotate and export them?
I love that you give extremely high praise to the device until there is something bad, like the 'reader' function... at which point you switch into 'no mercy' mode and blast them! It shows you're giving an honest perspective.
Well that's what a review is supposed to be, an objective look at multiple areas of a device, so that people can reach informed purchasing decisions based on reality, not based on sponsored fluff, or regurgitated repeats of the said fluff :)
@@MyDeepGuide Great stuff!
I think I speak for a lot of students using the rM when I say that a tool for basic shapes, straight lines and perfect circles is also definitely something which is needed in future updates. (feels pretty stupid to draw on your tablet with a ruler during lectures)
I actually use a physical ruler with rubber feet to draw lines. But on the rM1 (or at least _my_ rM1) it's clunky and inaccurate. I've waited for basic shapes myself. But the longer I thought about it, the more I realised that it wouldn't completely satisfy me as a graphics studio like Photoshop, but leave me expecting the same features. In the end, I think it's better to just learn to draw accurately free hand and put the ruler away. There are still work scenarios where the reMarkable or the iPad or even a full-fledged computer with a large pen display can not replace paper. It's important to not forget that its actual use case is very narrow. The practical use of technology is typically even more narrow than its intended use in its beginning stages.
Message to team remarkable: I think that the community is totally agree with the video
Faust Cardiel unfortunately they are not listening

I wish you were the CEO of reMarcable... Thanks for the time you spend to show us the details!
Man, you are an OP reviewer. I hope they check your reviews. I 100% agree with all that you said should be done to the software!
This was the most important part of the review for me. After watching 10 minutes I cancelled my pre-order. The other devices mentioned here aren't available in my region. So I'm going to buy a new iPad. In my job, I'm working with tons of PDFs and if the system doesn't offer the functionality I need it's not worth spending 400 bugs. I rather wait until a device with better software is available.
Thanks for this overview of the reader limitations. It is frustrating. It is the sole reason why I will not be buying one. Hope they fix all this stuff. it's ridiculous.
Nice review! I really wanted this product to be perfect, but it's seems that the remarkable team always fail regarding the software's device ... how is it possible that you can't regulate contrast? or make bookmarks? or even press a word to see it in a dictionary? (I'm a spanish language native) ... and to the top, from what I see my kindle from year 2011 reads faster the epubs and pdfs formats ... ): so sad. I hope the remarkable team invest more time in software functionality and efficiency. Thanks for the amazing review!!
I also don't understand the management at all.
Every one of your suggestions to improve the reM 2 is gold! If they are smart, They should pay you for your advice. They really need someone like you to be on board - as (obviously) the people there have messed the boat on these issues and have not been able to add/improve the product in the 2 and a half years that the reM 1 has been out.
They don't need someone. This all is so sad and awful, every second after switching the divice on is a nightmare for me. Even the most optimistic person with no tech backround will recognize it really quick.
They need a new management or speak open to the crowd. Make it completely open source would be the smartest cheapest way to don't die soon.
@@lazyman1011 What they need is a UX (user experience) design team, which is clear they don't have.
I can only agree with all the comments about the reader functionality here. The most basic functions are either non existing (bookmark a page, highlight text for later reference). Or half-assed (TOC without indentations). These functionalities aren't a distraction, they're an improvement. I also like to use sticky notes as 'bookmarks' in physical books for easy reference so why would I have less functionality than a physical book??
Absolutely brilliant review - and your English is unbelievably good by the way! I really wanted to be talked into getting one of these but I see that it needs more thought and development. A real shame because you and the people taking the time to comment here - largely thanks to YOUR wonderfully detailed presentation - have told the company EXACTLY what they need to do to get their product up to speed. If it were my company, the first thing I would do is to hire you to work with engineers on producing the package that virtually EVERYBODY in the market for such a device would kill to get their hands on!!!
Again - this series of reviews is one of the most useful and impartial I have ever come across - if Remarkable listen to you and get it right, they will sell TONS of these. Thank you!
Excellent review of the reader. I had ordered (four months back) Remarkable2 for reading scientific documents. I am canceling my order.
This whole situation doesn't make any sense to me. It just seems to be so obvious to add those features.
For me there are only three options why they haven#t added them:
1) They are not aware that this kind of functionality is highly wanted by the community.
2) We just think it is important to "the community", but actually most users don't care about those features
3) they are not able to implement them, because of some Software/ licensing issues
None of these make sense to me though.
It's like if Apple would release their new Ipad model without the ability to watch videos.
In any case, the easiest thing they could do about it, is just to communicate these issues.
reMarkable is no big company and I see no reason why they couldn't be communicating more directly with their customers.
If you are reading this reMarkable, please understand that I seriousely consider taking back my preorder, because of these missing features.
As do many other people I am sure.
Does it has text search in pdf ?
@@pedropablogarcia4531 are you kidding? There's a video up there you clicked. Questions like these are covered. Also there's the whole internet that can be searched and will probably deliver an answer too!
So yes it has text search within pdfs that are created (not scanned).
Another option, they did not have the money/time/number of developers to implements those functionalities.
Superb review. Sincere and spot on. I agree with most of your comments. They hyped us up for such a long time only to deliver a device that is lacking in so many aspects. I was going to buy this to read academic papers with, but that's not happening. Thank you for taking the time to do this.
I hope reMarkable is not a narcissistic company that is dismissing the significant deficits of the reader side of the device... Things like the landscape mode, color, bookmarks, and so on seem like such basic essentials.
Thanks for the review and I already cancelled my pre-order
I've never seen such an in-depth review of anything. I am blown away.
3 years passed and remarkable remains *almost* the same ... I cannot believe.
They should hire a team of consultants to do this for them. As you said this stuff is basic. They should have a tonne of money by now, so they should just do that. Returns would be immense and a good team could probably get most of these functions done in a month.
I placed a £529 order back in August for the RM2 + all the trimmings - I just cancelled it after watching this. I was hoping to use it 50/50 for taking notes and reading PDFs and should have done some more research before ordering. Thanks for the video.
That's the point of the channel, to help users during their research process so that they can find the best device for their needs :) Thank you for watching :)
Really great reviews man. I really like how you pay attention on the little important details on the software and hardware.
Thank you, love watching your reviews and comments!
OMG, Thank you so much for the in depth reviews and on spot comments on the features to be improved. I changed my mind and will wait until the next generation is released, hopefully with significants improvements....
Thank you. What a well documented review. It has helped me to decide on my purchase (will wait until the software is updated). Shame, I was looking forward getting this
Thanks for this series of deep reviews on the Remarkable 2. It seems as if they’ve devoted the last three years entirely on improving the hardware- which they’ve clearly done very well, but at the expense of any substantive refinement of the software. I genuinely hope all that you’ve identified can be fixed through firmware otherwise people will soon switch to more effective UIs such as the Supernote A6
Just got a remarkable 2, your review is absolutely useful and so well done, thank you so much for it
Oh no... I wanted the RM2 for reading, reviewing, and marking up PDFs for research, but this seems to be its biggest flaw as of this point (aside from the 100,000 page claim) for me. Are these issues hardware issues or can they make improvements through software updates and upgrades? I am strongly considering another device if they cannot possibly fix these issues on this device and have to wait for hardware upgrades for RM3 or after...
english professor and tutor it’s been like this for 3 years. I wouldn’t hold my breath.
I wanted this device for the exact same reasons but it fell way to short for my liking in the software department. From a fellow researcher to another, what device would you recommend that has a snappy interface and good editing tools to deal with research papers in PDF format?
@@DaKussh +1 to this! What device is best for scribbling on academic papers??
@@DaKussh Yes, I'd definitely like to have like a list of devices for each use-case made by this awesome channel
@@KastanDay Maybe just use ipad and install the apps that can retrive papers, such as researcher or browzine....
The device is beautiful but I dream of having a 2-in-1 notebook and a reader. Both without additional distractors. I have Onyxboox to read, but I do not want to carry two devices at once. If I'm going on vacation, unfortunately, I take only one of them - Onyxboox, and I would definitely prefer RM2 because it has a beautiful design and would additionally allow you to take comfortable notes on the go.
I agree with the needs of the software. Even my Sony dps from 2014 had bookmarks and searchable notes on PDFs with an overview of which pages I notated. Very important feature!!
Thanks for this review, really helpful. I can't believe how basic the reader is, and how poorly it handles PDF files. I cancelled my order after seeing this. The search for a decent paper-white style PDF reader/annotator continues!
Very detailed and valuable review! Thanks a lot.
I totally support this landscape/kindle thought which I think is just incredible that it doesnt exist. it's simply inexcusable. against all odds.
WE NEED A DICTIONARY FOR BETTER RESERCH PLIS !!!
Thank you so much for this deep review, I already wanted to buy the remarkable 2 as I thought it would be possible to directly take notes side by side with a pdf as you said for example in landscape mode. I hope they will change that very quickly as well as all the other reader features that are basic in any other reader. Otherwise this product seems to be great and I would really like to use it.
thank you for a detailed and honest review and information about this product. I was interested in purchasing this device and after your true thoughts and explanations of the limitations of this device, I think I will give it a miss. just saved me £500. cheers
For scientific texts it is necessary to be able to attach a note (or new document) to the place on the page so you can scribble and add some computations to it. Just typed text notes won't be enough.
Thank you for your all you do.
Great review I am really impressed. You show very well where the serious problems lie that the marketing department has concealed. Unfortunately the Remarkable 2 is a good example of the fact that it is not enough to get a few things right, but that the whole package has to work. 21:00 I absolutely agree with you conclusion. I honestly can't understand how a company can destroy its market opportunities by making such obvious mistakes.
Spot on review and conclusions
Message for the reMarkable team: start to hire someone able to write proper code. Reader, contrast, bookmarks missing. Are you kidding me?
There should be an option to add a page in between a pdf. I wonder why no one talks about it!
I did, years ago...
Might cancel my pre order..didn’t realise it lacked such basic tools
Absolutely agree that the reader side of reMarkable is sorely lacking. Really it's like an afterthought. Maybe we can hope for better in future software updates...
I've been working through your reviews step by step and first let me say, they're amazing. Super detailed and informative.
Now for the RM2 I'm wondering, is it possible to upload a text file or pdf to the device and copy parts of it into a notebook? I understand it can copy abstracts of one notebook to another, but now I am curious if it can do that between different modes, even if this would just be like a picture you can't edit.
Well done.
Great review! Still need to watch 4/4 but after being overwhelmed by the great looks and practical use, I would indeed want all the Kindle functionality in there as well. Great sum-up of 'needs' you got there. Just my point why I'm not buying this tablet.
It would be an awesome idea if Remarkable would work with samsung 🙂🙂
Has anything changed in the 3 years since you produced this video which by the way is amazingly helpful! thank you!
Awesome review (not the product!)! I wish I had seen this before I went through a bunch of crappy reviews! Excellent work!
Thank you :)
Thanks for your in-depth review!
It has been almost 2 years, is the lack of landscape mode for pdfs still an issue?
Hi @My Deep Guide! I was just wondering whether you could make an extra little video on the "read on remarkable" plugin for chrome that's supposed to allow you to send a website from the chrome browser to your remarkable device? Anyways thank you for the great review! :)
Thanks for these videos. You said that you have a video about PDF work arounds. I can't seem to find it in your videos. Would you be able to share it?
Thanks for that Review! I fully agree to all of your points! Does the annotation work with landscape slides from presentation? (r.g. for presentation slides at university)
I would love to see some kind of roadmap from reMarkable to see if they will address the points. Then I would buy it immediately. At the moment i think the iPad with goodNotes is probably the better alternative for that - how much i love the eInk....
A great product... horrible customer service! All these algorithms and people who do not read your questions properly! Bought one because of your review, and I will buy another, but everyone should know that customer service, feedback and simply reaching the same someone if you have a problem is awful. Any tips, before I write to Magnus?
It's a pity because I would be using RM2 to read papers/books and take notes between pages.
I'm considering to cancel my pre-order now :(
On the other hand, thank you very much for your review. It's pretty neccesary :-)
As a software developer, I think that all the things you've mentioned are feasible. The only thing that can be an issue, is the color part. As you may know remarkable uses a technology called e-ink, ant until now as far as i'm concerned, it doesn't use color...
I think you misunderstood me. Not to display color, but to allow that we draw and write strokes that will be exported in certain colors. For example, when grading papers and writing remarks, in green, blue or red "color". It will still display black on the device itself, but when exported as a PDF, PNG or SVG, the strokes will not be black, but instead will be of a green, blue or red color, when viewed on color displays.
This is something Onyx Boox has had for quite a while now and there is absolutely no limitations or reason not to have it on the reMarkable as well. It's as simple as setting the color property of the written stroke, or selection or even a layer. It silly how simple it is and how usable it would be.
@@MyDeepGuide I misunderstood, that can be done....
Lack of highlights and annotations are the main thing giving me pause about whether or not to cancel my pre-order (I'm an academic and they are a central part of my current workflow), but I really hope with this kind of excellent constructive review rM will now invest some proper energy in implementing them. The hardware is done, so there's no excuse now not to focus 100% on the software.
Love your reviews. I guess we'll have to wait until Onyx puts the money on the pen-paper-writing experience, seems more likely to happen than Remarkable addressing all this downsides.
Beautiful eye color
What if reMarkable's software team was as good as their hardware developers.. this device would..
...be more powerful than Zardos!
Multi color export is probably number 1. Limits user capability when you can pickup a highlighter on paper
Has there been any software updates to improve reading capabilities since the release of this video?
Thank you for your reviews, just left a comment on the 1st part of your review, I guess the frustration with the table of content is real.... do you recommend different tablet that would be better at reading with table of contents? I can still return it... =P
rM in the future: contrast adjustment? applied!
(taking another 52 secs)
Hi congratulation for the video.
I did not understand if the remakable 2 uses an external cloud to save changes on the files in real time or if each time the file must be saved manually through the smartphone application. Did you mention it in the video series?
How is it for viewing large e-books? I have a 5.3 MiB .epub book* that I'd like to spend a lot of time reading. Do you guys think it could handle it?
2400 pages, 13 MiB of raw text (ePub is just a zipped html library)
15:50 Ok, dang. I think you answered my question. :(
Now I really don't know what to do 😂. I wanted to buy the rk2, cause it would help me with notetaking, but the reader is my concern. I had far greater expactations of this. I loved the -no backlight- and -paperfeel- idea. Now...i think i will go with ipad. I have too many pdf documents to just ignore this letdown.
Could u suggest some alternatives for a good e-reader and editor for pdf files?
Hi, can you crop out and copy pictures from pdf documents and paste them in other note folders or can you just do that with your own doodling/notes? Thank you.
I was looking for this device primarly for studing on PDFs... But it seems I have to look around for a more appropriate device. What would you suggest me? I llooked on Onyx Boox Nova 2 and it seems OK, I have doubts only about the screen size.
Interesting. To be honest when the delays kept piling on, and random comments on their various ads (i get them a lot on instagram) I was getting real "kick-starter crap" vibes from this.
It sounds like the device hard-ware is top-notch, where-as the feature-set and firmware are not great. What would you suggest as an actual note tablet like this that one would use professionally? My use-case would be reading a lot of mathematical papers and wanting to scribble and annotate as I read them, and export these to a cloud.
I am trying to recall, didn't Kindle experiment with a large format eReader? I do not recall it selling well. So this is a value add that you can have a large format reader. However, I tend to think if you are looking for something to read pre-written documents either downloaded from the web or created on another device, you should look at an eReader and not a note taking device. As to the performance issue around formatting ePubs, that is most likely due to limited Ram. In this day and age of high density silicon, higher storage and ram would have been available and kept the form the same and power consumption the same.
So, with all these limitations for writing, reading, editing and saving notes, why should we invest for this device versus fully responsive with tunes of features on Apple iPad?!
My wife is looking for something to take notes on but ALSO review documents. right now its paper and pen for taking notes, i was considering the remarkable 2 until i saw this video. Is there anything else on the market which has document review PLUS east note taking?
Really disappointed about the landscape mode... Probably one of the most essential functions for this device. Since the screen is only 10.3inches its kinda small so if you had it in landscape it would be soo much better!!!
I just hope they add this feature later on as i ordered it already ;)
I am also not sure if I can imagine myself working/Reading etc. with the RM2 but keep in mind that you can
1. Cancell your order
2. send it back within 30 Days after recieving it (I think)
Soo I am no longer concerned. Just gonna whait for some Improvements, and if there are non. Bye bye
@@takurotim3496 yes that is the good thing about it... I'll try ut out for myself and if it doesn't work i'll look for an alternative
@@timoeugster7809 In wich batch are you in?
@@takurotim3496 i'm in batch 2... But still super disappointed about the delays since i'm starting university in mid-september so i have to use a completely different setup for the first couple of weeks :(
This part makes me doubt if i still want the RM2. I pre-ordered it in the hope i could use it to limit my paper-use when reading documents and making notes on the side in split-screen. Not able to pan in documents. No landscape mode. Not being able to get my signature directly on PDF's. It's all lacking terribly in the reader-part. Reading further upon the software-side of the RM team, i'm doubtfull there will be a big update coming up with the release or in coming months.
It looks great, but not 400 euro great, with the limited capability. Not even close. I was hoping that with a new device, new software and options would be available. Not the case it seems.
Will think about it for a few days, but now i stand at: Cancelling the order and maybe buying another E-ink device or a second hand RM1 for a much lower price.
I was looking through your review for the part where you can write in the pdfs, etc. because that's part of why I ordered my remarkable. Instead of printing my languages textbooks i could just write in the pdf instead, do you think it'll handle that properly? The fact you can't zoom "manually" is a bit of a disappointment but not dealbreaking but if it can't handle quick writing on a pdf...
The most annoying issue that I have on the remarkable 1 is that I can't select text/images in pdfs/epubs with the selection tool. The only thing you can do with that tool is selecting YOUR notes in document and I don't understand, why this is so limited? Maybe I haven't found the way to do that yet...
This is very helpful. Whoever buys this probably is a big fan of notetaking. I just don't understand why it takes 4 years not making any charge on the e-reader-like function. This will be the biggest barrier that stops me from buying it...maybe I ll wait for another 4 years...but the writing part is great, maybe big companies like Amazon will buy remarkable in the future....
any update coming for the PDF? would love to be able to annotate.
Hi, thanks for the great and in-depth review. Can you please cover how well the remarkable 2 reads the two-column technical research papers? Also as the font size of most of the IEEE, ACM, Elsevier or any other technical papers is 9 or 10 and mostly includes multiple plots, is the text readily readable and manageable? It would be great if you can cover it :)
Do you maybe have a link to an example document that I could use? If you can send me that, then yes :)
@@MyDeepGuide here's an example: www.acm.org/binaries/content/assets/publications/word_style/interim-template-style/interim-layout.pdf (I'm interested in this too)
Hello, can I convert handwritten text to word document? It doesn’t seem normal to convert directly to pdf. Would you recommend remarkable 2 for writers? because I understand the lifespan is not that long
Wish I hadn’t bought it, saw this review too late
Hello, after a lot of thinking I bought the tablet. Your videos look great, thank you. My question is, do you have any idea when version 3 will be out?. Beatriz (Spain)
Thank you for watching :) Unfortunately no, I don't have any information about when the next version of hardware might come out.
Hi, are you in contact with the remarkable team? Ever talked to them? Any insight if these missing features will even be on their roadmap? Any idea how big the dev team is?
No on all of those. I am part of the beta test program, but it's very strange, as the communication is quite sparse there as well, and for example, the trash functionality is something I reported way back when, but the reply back was "it is a carefully thought out design". So yeah. I try, but there seems to be a bit of an attitude there and a resistance in relation to external influences.
Honestly, most of the software issues is something I've been asking for, for about 2.5 years, but nope. No communication from them regarding such things, if I'm honest.
@@MyDeepGuide firstly, thank you for your reviews, they are super useful. Secondly, I am so disappointed that the reMarkable team aren't listening to your well balanced review and the comments of all the viewers here. My husband bought me one of these for Christmas and I am starting by watching all your reviews. i am so disappointed that the device won't allow me to annotate documents - this is something that I was SO LOOKING forward to with a new device! I am a scribbler, and I think the device will be super useful for that, but I can't believe that it is so simple (aka basic) that it doesn't allow you to achieve more than you would with a pad and paper. PLEASE reMarkable, let us get the full potential from your beautiful device.
Sideloading Koreader solves most of my complaints with the reader software but, of course, it doesn't support drawing. :/
There should be an open-source firmware project for this, not just side-loading apps.
Lack of a proper landscape mode in reader is a dealbreaker for me. Also want ability to view 2 pages at once in landscape mode.
Wow, seems like this device is still lacking in the reading experience compared to my 8 year old Kindle Paperwhite. Looks amazing for note taking though.
I was hoping to use this with a digital planner. But it sounds like This does not have that capability. I’m not concerned with “color” but links etc like Good Notes does in pdf calendars
Is it possible that they stop all functionality because the writing experience they're targeting uses a bit of CPU and in conversion that CPU isn't available so they're afraid the user will have a bad note taking experience? Still not the best reason, but I can see how that would happen.
In the previous video, when you doubted the storage of 100,000 pages in 6GB, I also doubted the processing power of this dual-core processor.
It's not the CPUs fault. It's the software implementation that is causing the issues I noted there. However, overall responsiveness of the device has significantly improved in the last 2 years (apart from Epub format change, which they still refuse to properly implement).
Thanks so much for this in depht review! I enjoyed every single minute of it since I had been waiting for this review for so long. I thank you, in particular, for the "PDF section" and "technical document section", which I was extremely interested in. The 1 million dollar question is: would you advice this product for technical documents reading purposes only? Is remarkable 2 equal to Onyx Book Max 3? I know that the first one is 10.3" and the latter is 13", but in terms of reading the different size does really matter? I was (and still is) looking for a Technical PDF reader in which I can visualise an entire page without zooming in/out and still easily readable. I also need to highlight what I need withing the PDF text. Taking notes is cool but secondary. THANKS SO MUCH, REALLY MUCH!!!
Thank you for watching :) To answer your question, as it is now, a resounding no. Max 3 buries it completely, as far as reader capabilities go. As much as rM2 dominates Max 3 on writing, that much Max 3 dominates rM2 in reader capabilities.
@@MyDeepGuide Oh gosh! So I have to take this marvellous piece of technology off of my list!. Nevermind, I do it for sure! Thanks again, keep it up with your e-x-c-e-l-l-e-n-t work! Last question 13,3 " is mandatory for a relaxing reading or 10" is quite good as well?
Wow, unbelievable how limited RM is, again.
I have a few questions for you: - if you exit an epub file and enter it again, do you arrive at the same position as before? - if I set a reading format in one book, will it be the same on every over books that I open? In over words, is the reading format universal in the device? - on the first opening of the ebook, does it take a long time before being capable to read?
I am a really heavy kindle user and I will probably use the RM2 for reading (50% of the time). I don't really care about side functions but I want a usable device. I heard that some people ssh into the device to install an over reading app. In your opinion, is it mandatory for the moment? I except RM to improve the reading experience in future updates ...
Thanks a lot for future answers :). Really nice review!
(sorry for my English I am French)
My deep guide I would also like to know if it keeps progress if I open an epub and close it, does it return in the same page once I open it again? If yes is it independently if I have opened any other documents in the meantime or only if it is the last document I opened and I open it again.
Thank you in advance.
Keeps progress for each book, but settings are for individual books
@@Mcage2 and can you defined a default set of settings?
@@thomas984498 not that I'm aware of.. I'm 95% sure it's a no
@@Mcage2 that's a shame :(
Hickups like at 1.27 did they happen more often?
Regarding reading
Especially for students who read vbig textbooks and scientific articles or any multiple columns pdf files for these group of people go with 13 inches sizes. Never buy size 10 inches I bought note pro from boox and it is good but I bought Max3 after trying max2 pro and now I am very happy with Max3.
For this I think this device (remarkable) will not be the best choice.
Consider price. All ereader are over priced but generally it is may be cheaper than buying paperback books and easier transportation
Do not lose money in size 10 inches like me
I hope he sends his reviews to them so they know what they can improve on.
They know and they've known about pretty much all of the reader issues for 3 years now, however, no fixes not statements if they consider basic reader functionalities as distractions or just don't want to do it. Either way, all of these issues have been present and mentioned to them since late 2017.
Question about OneNote compatibility. Hi there, just came across your reviews and I’m very impressed, thank you. I’m following this technology, waiting for the right device...what can you recommend for notes taking and OneNote compatible?. Thanks!
Unfortunately, OneNote doesn't support e-ink devices, which results in it running so slow that it's practically unusable. Technically speaking, Boox devices allow you to install it, and it will work, but the refresh speed will be unusably slow because the OneNote app isn't updating the screen the way an e-ink screen should be updated, which manifests itself in the form of extremely laggy writing latency.
So no, I don't know of an e-ink device that can do that.
@@MyDeepGuide thanks for the reply, it fully answer my question
Just watched 1 to 3 and come to the conclusion, why don't simply use the iPad from 329,-- (2021), as I understood, the Remarkable simply is an alternative to paper and nothing else and I like that idea. Everything all these comments are about (not read every, though) is, they want a computer to write on (like wacom does let one ) or did I miss something?
Remarkable is run by businessmen, not by academics
