I am interested in buying the remarkable 2 mainly to use it for school (and university afterwards) and other personal stuff.

I often find myself using different coloured pens to mark some things in my notebook as important, or to underline. I furthermore make sketches to help understand stuff like geometry better. This requires use of different coloured pens (I mostly go up to 3 colours)

My questions is does the remarkable 2 have such a functionality. I understand that it is an e-ink display that is only black and white, but does it have something like different shades of gray for the pen utility.

    Yes. There’s black, grey, and then red and blue (which export in color but show up on the screen as different shades of grey). If I’m drawing a graph with different colors, I’ll typically use a standard black line and a thicker red or blue (grey) marker and they show up very differently.

    If I need three colors, I’ll use a thin black pen line, a thicker blue (gray) pen line, and a thickest red (different gray) marker and I can generally differentiate them, even on the grayscale screen.

    It also has different colors of highlighter (yellow, pink, and green) which are a little harder to differentiate but are each a little different
