#622Does this integrate with something like OneNote? Because this would still be only half my notes. If I can keep my hand-written ones and the ones I type when I work, for example, NOW we’re talking.

Wouldn't you still need to be careful about the device auto-joining to open public wifi? Basically, if you were going to be away from your house you'd have to always remember to disable the wifi before you left. Alternatively, just keeping wifi off and only using the USB cable means you don't have to worry about forgetting to disable wifi before you leave home. :)
Most devices don't auto connect to open wifi unless you tell them to. I'd assume this would have an option for that as well.
This requires being militant about never connecting under any conditions. If the device ever is even briefly connected to a particular network (especially any commonly-named public network), unless that entry is cleared, the device may reconnect later unintentionally and with no obvious indication of having done so..
For those with more expansive threat models, intentional dvice or network spoofing or cloning might bebrisks.
Since firewalling is performd off-device (on the home-LAN router), this will resut in an unsecured evice.
My preference would be for some on-device configured networking limits. Putting full reliance in fixed-site infrastructure migh be unpleasantly surprising.

> Things as simple as font resizing are 30x slower than on a Kindle Wow, thanks, I was very interested in this for marking up documents + notes. I guess I could still use my kindle for most of my reading anyway, but the video gave me the impression the RM2 was very fluid and fast. If I'm understanding correctly, the screen's responsiveness to input is great, but the UI's responsiveness is not?
I've been using the RM1 for a few months. The screen and UI responsiveness are both fine. What is astonishingly slow is their ereader implementation. Basically, the model is something like this: • The ReMarkable is primarily like a sheet of paper you can write on (or a paper notepad). • This "sheet of paper" can also have a background template (like dots, a grid, or an arbitrary image), different for every page. (You…
For PDFs, any chance you’ve tried reading science journal articles on it? I’m thinking this could be a great way to finally get a greener way to read on paper without printing, but I’m worried its still annoying to do.

#625Interested in ordering this, but my country isn't on their very limited list (basically EU + Five Eyes). A bit frustrating, it's not like I live in Yemen or Easter Island. Why not ship to anywhere with DHL?
Re: ReMarkable 2.0 – A digital notebook that feels like paper
#626I 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…
I bought the ReMarkable 1 because I thought it was just a Linux device. It turned out to be not exactly true. Their whole interface is closed source and they use a (IIRC) closed but reverse-engineered format to store PDF metadata. I installed Syncthing to synchronize papers and sheet music but because of their metadata format it didn't work for me at all, I got annoyed, eventually stopped bothering and sent it back.
Also, their GUI/DE is closed so there's no (easy) way to extend it with nice functionality. In my opinion the software was the bad part about that device that lead to a really bad experience with that device.
The hardware was great though. Wasn't super fast but it was light, felt good. I was very excited when I first took it out of the box.
They did a lot of great stuff with the ReMarkable but unfortunately it felt a lot closer to the semi-open Android than the Linux on my desktop.

To be fair, learning.oreilly.com is pretty good on iPad (not so much on mobile). It's pretty expensive, but potentially worth it if you read a lot of technical books.
Sure, but the whole point of using ereaders compared to tablets (like iPad) is the screen which tablets can't compare with for pure reading. But eReaders don't traditionally have remotely comparable UX performance so are only suitable for linear reads like novels. My question is whether Remarkable have solved that. It's far more important to me and similar potential users than the writing/whatever stuff they are sell…
Ah I see.
For me, the writing on a screen is enough, I take a lot of notes in meetings, and having these digitised would be incredibly useful for me.
Additionally, being able to annotate PDFs would also prove great for me, I don't want to print out large amounts of paper, but I would like to take notes.
Re: ReMarkable 2.0 – A digital notebook that feels like paper
#628$900AUD (with the upgraded marker and folio). I love the idea and that it seems to be fairly open, but ouch. It'll be even more expensive after the pre-order.

That's what many big-name classical pianists use, a pedal hooked to an iPad.
Why iPad though? I’ve seen a specialized electronic music sheet (seemingly based on e-ink) in some videos, I guess pages are flipped using a pedal since I didn’t notice any visible interaction with it to do so, e.g. https://youtu.be/oB-gF2Ncphg
I think the question quickly becomes why not an iPad. They're easy and pretty cheap to get hold of, have good screens, lots of people can easily write new software for them and they're also a tablet. Many people may already have one and so using hardware they already have is much cheaper than buying new special hardware.
Also, eink screens are nice to look at but so expensive for non-kindle sizes.

#630I ordered in March and the shipping schedule keep getting delayed. I hope it doesn't turn out to be a typical Kickstarter or Indigogo hardware project, that never ships.
have you heard of COVID-19?
