I currently use iPad and I am considering reMarkable. One of the main things I do with iPad is share screen on meetings. Is the share screen option available and what about meeting platforms such as zoom, bluejeans, google? Are their compatible apps for all of the major online meeting platforms?

Re: ReMarkable 2.0 – A digital notebook that feels like paper
#502I'm curious if there are other folks like me here - I have a peculiar hate of touch-screen pens/pencils. They're too thick at the tip.
When I write on (real) paper, I try to use the thinnest pen that I can still grip. I think I hold the pen at an odd enough angle that if the pen is fat enough before tapering, it starts covering the point where the tip touches the paper. Once that happens, I feel like I'm writing while holding one end of a yardstick. The alternative is to start angling the pen so I can still see the tip, but that makes writing awkward - I rather just type at that point.

You just now saved me $530. Thank you.
When I thought about it I just compared it to the price of a notebook and pen which costs virtually nothing. The RM isn't 500x more useful than a real pen. It also hardly stacks up against an ipad with the pen accessory.
As someone who has been a paper notebook writer for decades, who went through boxes of paper ergonomic for writing a year, low dozens of pens, including fountain pens and ink, and who stored square meters of old notebooks for those decades, paying for every inch- for some users, the R reaches 1x ROI in less than a year.
Cheers.

#504Remarkable haven't yet delivered the 2.0 device. Let's first see when it appears on the market. I has been delayed twice so far. So far it's in "pre-order" mode.
They have had two delays so far, and both of them were announced literally days before the "expected" shipping deadline. They are checking many checkboxes on my "likely vaporware" checklist. The only thing they have in their favor is that they shipped v1 succesfully.
Given the whole covid situation it is hardly shocking. I personally think they have been pretty upfront about it.

Yeah for someone who writes that much it could make sense. But for me, I don't write notes on paper, I use it to draw diagrams and visualize things for myself as well as communicating. I use paper a bit like a whiteboard and a single notebook can last me years. The RM looks like a very cool tool but I would never justify the price.

#506I have the Onyx boox 3 with 13.3" screen, so I can read conveniently programming and math books and paper (wanted the big screen especially for papers). Pen works perfect for scratching, selecting and taking notes, it's perfection I can also split the screen on the left side exercises on the right side a blank page I solve the exercise.
I looked at those but the price (859) and being tied to Android were no goes. Perhaps in time the price of the screen will come down so as to get the device cost to a more acceptable 400 ish.

You should check out Rocksmith. Its guitar hero with real guitar, pretty cool stuff. I don't see how a scrolling format like guitar hero would fit the slow refresh rate of an e-ink display, but perhaps you imagine something different.
Absolutely love that toy, unfortunately they stopped producing DLCs for it some time ago to do something else... I wonder what that is.
Custom DLC is still going strong

No, none of that. A similar device called Papyr seems to support shared whiteboarding features, but sharing and meetings are not what reM does. Just for writing, secondary use for reading.

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…
I would avoid Mendeley. Firstly, they are trying to create a researchgate-style social media spam network layer. Secondly they are owned by the maximally vile Elsevier. Thirdly, their software quality is poor eg. they couldn’t get sync working properly for maybe 5 years (until I gave up). On the other hand, I love https://paperpile.com/app
As much as I agree with you on all the points, in my case I kind of have to stick with what my research group is using for now.

Yeah, I like very thin tip stylus (physical or digital). reM v1 stylus with new nib is like a fine point, which is ok. Could try shaving a nib and getting to extra fine. Once nib is in use it becomes medium point fairly quickly- tho the width of the line it produces on the screen is determined by software, not the actual nib size.
