I had a ticket on this. There's no reason not to write "device is off" on the banner which is already there in sleep mode. A notebook doesn't make the note disappear.
mine has "remarkable is sleeping" shown when it's sleeping, and I need to unlock it to get it to show anything.
Nice. Lost me at subscription. (Edit, to clarify - not because of what it offers, but because the very existence of a subscription tends to create wrong incentives for the company so to try and push people onto them. Maybe not now, but this will happen. Guaranteed.) Also, I don't see a properly supported way to actually get docs to/from the device without a cloud service, theirs or someone else's. For example, [1] sa…
I really love mine. Bought it for notes and for reading academic papers. Absolutely excels at both these things.
My biggest complaints:
* not in color (not their fault)
* i wish i could search my handwritten notes
Otherwise, having an infinitely expandable library of notebooks is amazing.
I would love to hear from any left-handed RM2 owners about their experiences and whether they experienced similar issues.
I bought a rm2 a while back but abandoned it when I discovered it had extremely weak security: no fde, a weak remotely-resettable 4 digit pin, no local file syncing (doesn't appear as a mass storage device when plugged in as a usb, doesnt support standard file transfer protocols), non-e2ee (!!) cloud syncing (their company can see my notes unencrypted). Now I use an android tablet that I locked down + synching and i…
Don't get it. If I ever buy a device like Remarkable it's because of its display (easy on the eyes, reads like paper, etc.). If you couldn't be happier using a normal Android tablet (which has a normal display), then why did you go for the Remarkable in the first place?
For a few years I used OneNote + Surface Pro to take handwritten notes, equations and drawings. It was a great writing experience. Then I wanted to share them with others. Or migrate them from One Note into something else. Or just export to PDF. I'll summarize that nothing worked well. I tried other apps too. An app that constraints your drawing to paper (A4) works better since it can export to PDF nicely. But the text is not searchable and so most people won't find it. That's why we don't see many hand written notes shared online?
Im curious, what domain or job would you find this useful?
A friend of mine uses a kid's writing tablet for taking notes. Search for "writing tablet for kids" to see the kind of thing I mean. It's great for taking notes without wasting paper, then for ones he wants to digitize, he takes a photo with his iPhone and lets iOS do the magic with OCR. For £10 it's actually not a bad alternative and quite nice to have on the desk, plus the battery lasts for months.
Would be interesting to have someone do the actual computation of the CO2 / energy waste / etc of building this writing tablet and compare it with the number of paper sheets and pen that you have to use to offset it, just to know

I ended up getting an iPad Air with the pencil, and one of those matte screen protectors. The OS may be locked down, but I can still choose from a wide variety of note apps/clouds (currently use GoodNotes), and security is obviously top notch.

I always wondered how hackable these devices are... Maybe it's time to have a look.
