Hi remarkable people,

I have a question. I used remarkable for four months earlier this year but then I moved to onyx boox note air 2 plus as it offers good PDF reading experience. I love my NA2 plus and use it daily for my notetaking and pdf reading. However, I have constantly been bombarded with ads from remarkable whenever I consume social media. It’s tempting and I want remarkable again, even though I know it will certainly be a downgrade as pdf reading experience on rM2 was mediocre (which is my primary reason for using eink).

I left rM2 at 3.3 version but I see some promising upgrades in recent 3.8 beta. Is pdf reading still the same on rM2 device? Should I really buy it again?

I must say, they have really great advertising campaigns and a perfect marketing strategy.

    as someone who tested both supernote and rm for a while before deciding to stick with rm, rm offers much more stability software wise than sn. ratta is great at adding new features, but bad at cleaning up the exisiting features. i just want a reliable notebook that wont slow down in a meeting or take forever to sync. i also got tired of updates that changed the ui for no particular reasons, forcing me to readjust to a new layout every 3 months. just a different opinion out there

    i do agree that rm’s targeted ads are creepy, but i believe that they have a very mature product that really has no conpetitors out there yet in terms of acing the basics of notetaking

      I really like the organizational features of the SN but getting notes and docs off the thing is a PITA for me. I do not use their cloud sync at all and just copy to USB drive and move manually. But the individual page export is killing me so I just don’t. The RM looks so simple to move notes off but I still won’t use any cloud service. Can I move on a USB with RM? I haven’t had a problem with stability in the SN software? The only feature I wish they would drop is customizing the bar so I can have options I USE rather than 3 pen options and then have to dig in the menu for Templates, that I change many times a day. Opinions….
