This seems like a perfect device for the single use of note taking. But something like https://www.boox.com would probably make more sense for a lot of people since it can run other Android note taking and e-reader apps.

#22Anybody know how to do MS OneNote integration?
I have many years' worth of content there and use on multiple OS's, so I'd rather stay there than use their internal note-taking app, or at least be able to do import/export.

#23I have the first version, and I really like it. The experience of writing on a textured e-Ink display is completely different than trying to do the same thing on smooth glass. (iPad Pro/Apple Pencil)
How does it compare to writing on paper?

#24How good is a ReMarkable as an ebook reader? I don't care that much about the writing, but having a large size ebook reader that can display A4 pdfs in acceptable quality would be a game changer for me...
Not sure about normal ebooks, but it's been a fantastic tool for getting through IETF RFCs.
No distractions, easy on the eyes. Would be nice if the contrast were even better for low light environments. Maybe this 2.0 would do it.
I seem to have lost my pen though, so I'm not sure what I'll do for any annotation now.

#25For someone with the current ReMarkable or with the 2.0, is it possible to use it as a drawing pad for remote meetings?
I pre-ordered mine, but I want to know if this is even feasible.

#26Earlier quoted context omitted.
Did you look at this product? It has an e-ink display. That makes it very different from an Ipad.
Yeah, the correct question is probably how it competes with something like Kindle. The presentation made me fairly intrigued.
Unless there are some newer Kindle models I'm unaware of, they are very different. The Kindle is a passive device, where one can read and barely interact with buttons and stuff. It's great for reading books and I use it often for that, but not much more.
The reMarkable is a device for production, where you can write, sketch, organize etc. The display is much quicker to update and the pen is really good. I also like that it's a bit bigger, so reading PDFs isn't as much hassle as on a smaller Kindle.
At least that's my take on it. Kindle for leisure, reMarkable for work.

#27I have been very happy with my ReMarkable 1, and have ordered the ReMarkable 2.0. Hacker News might be interested in the active development community around the device: https://github.com/reHackable/awesome-reMarkable The device is open. It's just an embedded linux device. You can ssh into it, and run arbitrary code. The SDK is based on Qt. You can also connect a keyboard to it over a USB-on-the-go port. I have been…
That would be awesome. I have ordered the Remarkable and would like to use it as a dashboard connected to my computer. Just to display time, the calendar and other information which needs to be updated only very infrequently.

They offer a companion app for mobile and desktop so you might want to move your reMarkable contents to OneNote when you are done editing. The device is also hacker friendly so you could probably just plug some APIs to export to OneNote automatically

#29I've been holding off on buying it until handwritten text recognition works on device without sending the data to the cloud. I had hoped it would have happened by now, but it looks I'm gonna have to wait a while longer.

#30Any reason why should i buy it instead of iPad Pro 2020 or recently announced Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 plus ?

How durable is the e-Ink display on these?
Whilst I could see myself wanting to own one, I've so far managed to bust the screens on three e-Ink devices I've owned. And I'm not exactly treating them rough. They seem to break with the slightest of knocks. Bad enough when it's a sub £100 e-Reader. But, if I was paying 3 or 4 times that much, I'd expect something that was a bit less fragile.
