Hi,

I need a tablet for (1) making handwritten notes to replace too many moleskines and to create a digital record of them (2) to read academic papers and annotate them.

I need to decide between Remarkable2 and iPAD Air + apple pencil. Any thoughts appreciated.

I have the impression that remarkable2 will be the best writing experience, however - an Ipad will connect direcly with Zotero. I am happy to download papers from zotero and upload them back to zotero, but realise that i will not be able to output all highlights in zotero from papers annotated in remarkable.

I have a macbook so am focused on the tasks highlighted above.

many thanks

    I will +1 the other posts suggesting the ONYX BOOX. I had a rM2 and now have a Boox Tab Ultra (as well as a Mac and iPad pro). I posted an extensive review in this group between the Boox and the rM a few months back (probably searchable).

    For just notetaking the rM would work for you 100%; but your mention of ereader needs and Zotero puts your use case closer to mine. I don’t use Zotero, and don’t see an Android client app for it (yet), but can say that ereading/markup on the Boox tab ultra is better for me than when I had the rM.
