#3Despite all the negative fuss about it - I love the Kindle Scribe. It feels and sounds like paper and works great for work note taking and journaling. Oh, and I can read books on it too.

#4I have Supernote. It has some pretty nifty organization features that the Remarkable doesn’t have- you can create a table of contents as well as tag and star pages. It makes it easier to find the notes you need.

#5the main downside of the Remarkable 2 for me is I need to use my glasses to read on it. Resizing PDFS etc. always end up being too large and not fit in screen, the screen is too dark to give sufficient contrast.
This was not a problem for my Kobo, Kindle or Pocketbook readers. I got it really for reading and thought it was a nice size for what I wanted, but amazingly enough the bigger Remarkable is worse for reading than smaller ebook readers. It is very annoying.

#6I've had a remarkable 2 for awhile, and it works great for what it was designed to be (writing). I would really love to be able to read on it as well, that experience has not been great. So maybe I'll check out the Boox.

#7Keeps being a very expensive toy. I think I'll choose a nice paper notebook and whenever needed take some photos with my phone.

I’ve got both the Scribe and the Remarkable 2.
The Scribe is the best ebook reader I’ve ever owned. Battery life is incredible. Great screen. Easy access to Amazon Kindle store (duh). It’s (at best) blah and frustrating for handwritten notes.
The Remarkable 2 is amazing at handwritten notes and an atrocious ebook reader. To be fair it is advertised as a digital notebook and I find most people who hate it are like, “It’s bad at managing my collection of a billion ebooks and giant PDFs.”
The differences on the handwriting front to me are that on the Remarkable 2:
• The writing experience feels better and more paperlike to me
• The OS and design are built around notetaking
• More intuitive features and deeper options for writing (pen options, copy/paste, lasso, etc.)
• Slower which doesn’t bother me for notes but is horrendous for reading books
• Single use, which I prefer for lack of distraction
Overall, I’m very glad to have both. The Remarkable 2 fits my work needs for hours of daily notes (and the occasional PDF markup) very very well and I just love reading books on the Scribe.

I took for granted that such expensive device would render at least epubs and PDFs flawlessly.
