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 love my R2. I’ve had problems printing PDFs with my markups in the past but these issues have since been resolved. I also spring for the cloud service. I use it daily so figure it’s worth the $8 a month. My thinking is BETTER with the R2. Writing long hand is different than typing and if you are needing to think better the R2 is the way to go.
