Oh my goodness, the hardware on the Scribe is so much better than the RM2. The size of the writing area is almost identical (mm in either direction) but the Scribe is notably faster to respond and redraw, crisper and its ambient lighting is perfect.
But the Scribe is let down by its style and software. I thought the Mac app for RM2 was bare bones but the Kindle app is terrible. I don’t think I can even export a single notebook page.
The Kindle is going to be returned. Still on the fence for the RM2 but comparing the two really makes me hope there’s RM3 hardware in the works…

Heh, I find this interesting because I got a Scribe recently and then a couple weeks later my partner got me a Boox Note Air 3C.
I honestly do like the Scribe for reading, and I like the feel of note writing, but I think the note taking software is terrible. (I will say I like the pens/brushes better on the Scribe). But the limitations with templates and converting to text suck. I still don’t think I ever got the notebook I attempted to export over a week ago. Switching between reading and note taking is so painful you basically are required to have a second device so you miss out on the advantage of having that big screen for reading.
I got the Scribe for a really good price so I’m keeping it. I hope since they have already dropped some significant updates they will continue to improve it. I really like the looks of the Remarkable but it’s so old now and a non-illuminated screen is an absolute deal breaker for me.
Had the same experience. Ended up with the note air 3C. Best. Really liked the remarkable but the form factor i like more on the boox and the lack of frontlight on the rm is sincerely, disgusting.
I have them both and I use the scribe as my eReader and the RM2 as my notetaking device. It really does suck that I can’t have a single, convergent device.
