You are right. That is a something I will be happy to use. I feel like it didn’t used to be that way. I recall trying to move several items and it would deselect and return to the normal screen. But I could have been doing something wrong. Thanks!

I believe that the Quick Sheets will always stay on the main page but you can create folders and move notebooks into those folders. If you long press a notebook, a menu option will pop up at the top and you can select “move” and then navigate to the folder you want and place it there. That is all done on the tablet. The downside is that you can only do it one notebook at a time.

For me, the transition was super easy, better than I expected honestly. I, too, like writing with pen and paper but I also liked having my notes stored electronically so I could reference them later without digging through a notebook. I was gifted a ReMarkable 1 three or four years ago and liked it a lot. I took it to meetings for work and used it to jot things down and keep thoughts organized. I also used it during my masters degree and loved the simplicity of it.

The biggest thing that made it appealing to me was the feel of the writing experience. I really do feel like I am writing on paper. It is the only tablet that I have tried that I have liked the feel of. And I love emailing my notes to myself and just needing to copy and paste to my virtual notebook.

It is really easy to keep things organized as well. the folder system is great for that if you know how to organize it to your liking.

I upgraded to the RM2 earlier this year, 1 week before they announced the typefolio. I ordered it after the fact thinking I would use it all the time. When it came in, I loved the typing experience but quickly found that I didn’t have much use for it until about 2 months in. I started doing some creative writing following a character I made for D&D. Since I started that, I used it 3-4 times a week for that alone. I only work in office a few times a month but I take it with me to meetings so that I am focused on what is said and not distracted by everything else on a laptop but it still gives me the laptop feel. My only “complaint” is that some of the keys are a bit smaller and I don’t have the muscle memory for it yet since I still use a full keyboard most of the time for other things. But that is not a big deal.

Overall, they are expensive. I would evaluate what you use a pen and paper for and determine if the price is worth it to you. For the pen, I have heard good things about some third party pens that work well with it, that may be an option to save a few bucks. If you are set on getting a folio from ReMarkable, the price difference in them is not drastic if comparing the typefolio to the canvas book folio. If you are going to use it to type, it may be worth the extra $70. I have both of those folios and I use them both frequently. One thing to note about the typefolio is that is weighs about the same as the tablet. I only use that folio when I know I am going to be typing. Otherwise I keep it in the other for how light it feels.

Programmer here. I had a version 1 when I was in school and used it a lot. I used it for lecture notes, book notes, writing down code when I was not near my computer or wanted to work without an IDE. Now that I am out of schools, I upgraded to a version 2 and it is much better in design, quality, and performance. I still use it almost daily for work and most evenings for reading.

I have the tablet, the book folio, typefolio, and upgraded pen. I think they are all worth it. However, I have heard about other pens you can get that are cheaper and work really well. So I would look into that before committing to the pen purchase.

A few things about the type folio since you are getting into programming, Not all of the buttons are available. It does not have the brackets or brace buttons that are on a normal keyboard. You can still add them when you need to by using the on screen keyboard to add them. The typefolio is also a bit hefty in weight. It alone weighs about the same as the tablet. I often switch to the book folio if I know I won’t be typing. But I would not recommend getting both. I got the typefolio when it came out but already had the other.

When I upgraded, I think I spent around $650 to get the initial set up and then the typefolio on top of that. There is a connect subscription as well that offers benefits. It is not required though.

I would definitely recommend it but I get that they are expensive. I would add stuff to your cart and see what the price is and look into the other pen options. I have 0 regrets with this purchase as a programmer.

One thing that helped me stay a little more organized was to only keep a few notebooks on the main screen that I use frequently, everything else goes into a designated folder/subfolder.

For the main screen, I keep a to do list, quick sheets, and meeting notes. One thing that I did after reading an article about keeping it organized is to make a cover page for each of those and set the first page to always display in the thumbnail. It is just a simple bubble letter page but makes it a lot easier to identify quickly.

I don’t use tags at all because I use a label system for folders and notebooks that is a little more descriptive. I am a developer and use my tablet for reading a lot. I have a folder called “Books”. I split that into sub folders for each language that the book is dealing with. In each of those sub folders, I have another level of sub folders that are the level of difficulty/experience. Folders are great for organizing as long as they are labeled with something meaningful and you do not over generalize the contents or over complicate the folder structure.
