Damn this looks nice! How is the pen latency?
Sadly they don’t ship to Japan so getting my hands on one is gonna be hard :(

I'm in the middle of my PhD and switched from printing papers to reading them on my iPad roughly two years ago. There are some things I miss from paper but overall I found the pros to overweight the cons. I haven't found that flipping back and forth on iPad is that horrible, to be honest. Not sure how helpful this will be but I'll share what I've been doing for now. I use the following apps: * Mendeley (to organize p…
Let me know what you think about Polar: https://getpolarized.io/ We launched about a year ago and are REALLY close to a 2.0 release.
I'm a huge Polar fan! I'm considering buying an iPad just for using Polar, but I was wondering about the ReMarkable as well, since I like e-ink better for reading.
Do you have any recommendations for a tablet to use with Polar?

#573$399 when I set my country to US, £399 when set to the UK? That's not how currency works :/
Re: ReMarkable 2.0 – A digital notebook that feels like paper
#574I've been interested in eink displays and eink readers for a long time. Kindle owner since version 1. But... Is the ReMarkable really worth $500 ($400 + the $100 pencil which seems like a requirement)? For that amount you're getting a low end iPad which has greatly wider use cases. I understand that for the "paper on pencil" feel an iPad is no where near... but then again you can also just write using real paper and…
Yeah, every time I see the ReMarkable anywhere I'm like "I'd love to have one of these." and I go look at their website and it's $600 and I realize I already own a kindle and a paper notebook and never buy one.
I'm sure it's great, but for something sold as, as far as I can tell, a notebook replacement, it's... a little crazy it seems? Like, no amount of better is gonna be $570 better than my paper notebook.

#575I'll have to echo what has been said. ReMarkable is the best e-ink tablet hardware I've laid my hands on, but I ended up returning it because of how hard it was to push and manage content in the device.
I now have a Onyx Boox Note that has inferior hardware. But at least I can use Google Drive and easily export documents.
I'm happy they have made a Chrome plugin because when I got my device, before returning it, I had a go at making exactly that: A Firefox extension that renders a simplified version and pushes it to ReMarkable as PDF https://github.com/sergioisidoro/push-to-remarkable

#576This is a remarkable device. The configuration looks good as well. It reminds me of the primary concept of Microsoft Courier.
While going through pros and cons for considering a buy, I found no email client, messenger or a browser. For the targeted audience, at that price point, and with that hardware config, those features are unavoidable.

The absence of those features is a feature to me. I want a digital notebook not another damn computer.
Re: ReMarkable 2.0 – A digital notebook that feels like paper
#578I 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…
For anyone interested in this type of setup, I highly recommend considering the onyx book note 2, (or max 3, or nova 2) it runs android 9.1 with a relatively fast 8-core processor, have bluetooth and wifi, and I have found that the experience in termux is very good.
I currently use one with a brydge ipad keyboard which fits quite well.

#579The product looks great, but, how does it work in terms of privacy? Is your stuff uploaded to the "cloud" automatically? Can you opt-out from that?

Most monitors and laptops have matte screens. Its just apple stuff thats glossy. Apparently it gives better color which helps for video/image editing but for programming the matte screens are clearly better.
Every screen I own is glossy, and I don't own any Apple stuff. External screens, laptops, all-in-ones, all glossy. The last matte screen I had was on a 2010 ThinkPad, and I think I had to pay extra for that. Maybe it's touch related? Every screen I own is also a touch screen (so's that old ThinkPad though), and with my physical needs I can't really consider non-touch.
> Maybe it's touch related?
I got a Thinkpad T490 this year, which has a matte touch screen (I really wish it wasn't a touchscreen, my only gripe with it. I never want to interact with the laptop via touch. Never.)
