1. Yes. Though you will want a case that def. stays closed if you plan to carry it out around a lot.
2. It’s possible but not the most comfortable as the device is quite big and it will require a specific position to be enough sturdy to write on.
3. Yep.
4. With the right protection it should be fine. I would not carry it around in a tote bag but something similar to a laptop case will be fine. (I actually carry mine around with my laptop in my laptop case.)
5. I would not get the device without the Remarkable connect. It’s free for one year and the second year it costs 36€ (in Europe) so it’s not a major cost.
6. WiFi.
7. Don’t know.
8. I live in Italy but I’m struggling to think what is the particularity of Italian use. The device arrived super quick, I think I ordered on Friday and got it on Monday. The device comes with a 100 day trial period so you are quite safe trying the device out before committing to keeping it!
