reMarkable 2 notes

2021-03-13 21:50 PST

I bought a reMarkable 2 tablet because I wanted a tablet for two specific tasks:

1. Reading papers and PDFs on; these are primarily science, math, and tech-related, so I wanted something that was larger than a Kindle.

2. I wanted to be able to work on math problems on it without wasting a ton of paper.

For comparison, I had the Sony Digital Paper DPT-CP1; my biggest complaint was that the pen constantly needed charging and was always dead when I wanted to write with it. The rm2 pen doesn't need charging.

Well it showed up on Wednesday; I've had an opportunity to use it for a bit and wrote up a few notes on how it's working out.

Conclusion

So far I really like it. It works out well for reading, writing, and arithmetic (working maths problems). I got a clip on book light for reading at night that makes up for the lack of a backlight. It's about the same size as my Digital Paper, and I guess time will tell if there's any major hangups.
