hello everyone!

I’m thinking on buying a remarkable, but I have doubts about how easy is the transition from paper to e-ink, since I’m too used to take notes in a physical way.

How was your experience? how smooth was the switch?

I am also thinking of buying the case with the keyboard, but the price is really high. For those who already have it, do you really use it? or would you recommend me to wait and buy it after trying the remarkable one?

I look forward to your opinions and thank you very much!

    I had similar doubts, but I’ve been using it daily for months. I’ve barely touched a piece of paper since!

    I love the syncing, it’s brilliant that I can access any of my notes on any of my devices anytime. I actually prefer writing on it compared to a notebook, the fact it’s so rigid makes it easy to write on and no smudging ink with my left hand. I can read my Uni PDFs, insert a page into it, write on it, move it around the document, then export those pages to a new file. I’m a bit of a perfectionist so love how easy it is to fix mistakes, being able to draw perfectly straight lines is brilliant. And I really appreciate how distraction free it is, all I can do is read and take notes on it. The battery life is great and it’s so thin and light. The only negatives for me is that it’s a bit slow with graphic intensive PDFs, I wish there was a dictionary like Kindle, and it can be a bit hard to read in low light compared to paper. None of this ruins the experience for me though.

    I got a third party case on Amazon and didn’t bother with the keyboard. I have a laptop for typing!
