Note to ereader makers: Please, PLEASE make the screen saver show the last page read! I'd throw away my Kindle and buy a new one just to get that. I'd pay extra for it. I will stop complaining about my ereader if you do this.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I presume you can save your notes somewhere externally, but it's not apparent from the product description. Is it doable, easy and, most importantly, reliable?
When I need more permanent notes, I use this other $13 ereasable notebook: "2019 Elfinbook Smart Reusable Erasable Spiral A5 Notebook Paper Notepad Pocketbook Diary Journal Office School Drawing Gift 4.8". https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32859074901.html?spm=a2g0s.9... As for the previous one (single page scribble) then I found in the past that I usually have a new single page each day on my desk for tasks minor note…
I know it would probably go against what they're aiming for (distraction-free, no social media), but it would be an instant-buy for me if I could have an email client (IMAP, Exchange), calendar (CalDAV, Exchange), RSS feeds (along with popular services like Feedly, Inoreader or your own server) and why not a service like Instapaper/Pocket/Wallabag builtin. Being able to do work-related stuff other than taking notes w…
I'm using this $13 "NEWYES 12" LCD Writing Tablet Digital Drawing Tablet Handwriting Pads Portable Electronic Tablet Board ultra-thin Board with pen" As a better paper, without any distractions, works well!! I have one at work, on my desk, I have one for each kid doing maths with them on it, it's awesome. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32922602355.html?spm=a2g0o.p...
I also use one of these as my quick-grab sketch/note pad. The huge downside is being unable to erase any part of the screen without erasing the entire screen - so by the end of a long brainstorming session I have lots of scribbled out parts and lines directing the eye to follow my flow. I desperately want something like the remarkable2, but I just can't bring myself to spending $800CDN (for the package) as a replacem…
This looks very cool, but at the price I'm still kinda stuck using my $0.73 spiral notebooks. I fill them up with my scribblings, then run them through the scanner and archive them. I use colored pens on them, too. It's very, very hard to beat this. Note to ereader makers: Please, PLEASE make the screen saver show the last page read! I'd throw away my Kindle and buy a new one just to get that. I'd pay extra for it. I…
Would this be... not having a screensaver? Or are you thinking of something more specific?
Having typed it out, it's sorta odd that there's a screensaver at all, rather than just always acting like it's up and running. I'd probably love it if ereaders would just show a "booting..." indicator when necessary, and otherwise never have an "off" screen except when serving some critical need (e.g. low battery warning).
Damn! It is beautiful. If I were to become a manager, where my greatest contribution will be sending the best damn meeting-minutes I can, I am buying this. But I already have Onyx Boox for my note-scribbling-on-e-ink needs, and if push comes to shove, I can run termux from there :D
One thing that's rarely mentioned about this device, but is the reason I sprung for it, is that the developers left an SSH interface into the device over USB, so you can program custom apps! People have made some neat stuff, and there's a Rust library for making apps: https://github.com/reHackable/awesome-reMarkable
It’s really refreshing when someone in business actually embraces the open standards that brought us here.
I'd just written Remarkable voicing my concerns with the gen 1 tablet. One concern, the ability to access material off the Web, has been addressed. Another has not: the Gen 2 tablet still has only 8 GB storage. On my current, much-despised, Android tablet, I have a 128GB microSD card with over 32 GB of documents, in a range of formats -- the overwhelming majority are PDF and ePub, but also djvu, docx, txt, htmk, chm,…
While I'd love full linux, personally I'd happily settle for just a bluetooth (or even usb) keyboard and a decent "write plain text" app. My handwriting is terrible, and while I'd love to unplug for reading/writing, I haven't found an acceptable solution for doing so beyond a Chromebook with wifi turned off and/or a "self control" web extension. EDIT: from elsewhere in this thread, I see https://github.com/dps/remark…
Utility afforded is immense. Termux on Android, crippled as it is, is the one thing on the platform that does not completely and abjectly suck.
Can any remarkable owners comment on the reliability/robustness of the document storage? Does it store versions and/or backups? I made the mistake of buying an equilpen2 at an apple store years ago. I say mistake not because I didn't like the product (I used it for hundreds of pages of notes over the year or two after I bought it and loved that it let me write on regular paper) but because the company gave up on the…
The cloud sync/storage is pretty rudimentary, no versions or anything like that. But they have an app for desktop/phone so you can download and backup. There are unofficial client libraries for the cloud API as well, so it can be automated.
Can I just... connect a USB cable and transfer files? Why do I want an app at all?
The apparent requirement to transfer files through an app was the reason I didn't get a remarkable 1.
