Thanks very much for making this video. Are you still using ReMarkable 2 as your primary note-taking device? I am eyeing the new iPad 11 Pro with paperlike or other cover that helps with writing. I use EverNote for my notes and Kindle for reading which the iPad can do. It can also serve as my reading device for morning RSS feeds- but the writing experience needs to be good.

Seriously love the tight summaries of each tablet and really love the yellow hand notated sheets. Good stuff.

Can you take notes from remarkable to ipad pro and then change them to color ones

mobiscribe? Supernote?

I'm curious about the supernote. Im temtped to get one just to try it and return it. it seems so much better than remarkable? also how are you gonna return the ones you still have aren't they past the peroids :O

thorough, nice and what i wanted

Wow, this is totally uncanny... I have literally followed this exact path, including Moleskine, RocketBook, the repurchase of the Kindle Scribe and at least four different Boox... and have finally just repurchased the RM2 and it just feels like being back home... but with so many improvements to the software since 2021, just love the gestures that are now available, makes working with the device so logical, intuitive and most of all FUN! Thanks for telling your story, so glad it's not just me!

Great video, Thanks

Thank you! This video is awesome. As someone who tends to purchase and try out a variety of products like you, this was definitely a worthwhile watch!

Have you ever heard of Supernote A5X? That is far far superior to the Remarkable II.

Such a comprehensive review of all the different products I had also been looking at. I just need a good basic digital notetaker, and writing on the ipad kinda sucks. All the other ones just have so much extra stuff, I don't need all that. I have an ereader, an ipad, normal laptop and phone.. I don't need a digital notetaker to replace them, I just needed a digital notebook. Thank you so much. Also, loved the story of reviews as a throughline process from each different product to the next.

I'm just looking for a way to digitize my paper notes so that i can search for them later. I have a specific question. All these devices rely on cloud services, but in my electronics world i just use Syncthing to keep my data synced between devices. Syncthing is a simple app keeping folders between devices in sync and excluding the need for a cloud. It's better for privacy i think. Could Syncthing be concievably installed on any of these devices? (You can exclude Boox because it is Android based and Syncthing should work just fine).

The only point you missed is that OCR is optional and subscription based at $8 a month. Thanks for a good review.

Why the Sync is bad on Note Air 3C??? The remarkable has subscription. You didnt even tried Supernote. Also Kindle Scribe you can send your files through your e-mail.

What do you mean by no cloud sync on the Kindle? - if you install the Kindle app on your phone, tablet and laptop, you can access all your notebooks on there. Also the annotations, while not visible on the kindle app, they do thankfully sync! -- I factory reset my scribe to test and when I signed back in, all my annotations were safely there. Amazon really need to make them accessible in the cloud though, I agree. I own a reMarkable2 and the Scribe, and while I love the reMarkable, the Scribe is much faster, has a nicer screen, has a backlight, battery life is better, conveniences such as magnetic wake/sleep, the eraser feels a lot nicer on the premium marker, a button to quickly highlight, etc - I use both and I do wish reMarkable updated the hardware as it does feel a bit dated now - considering the scribe costs 1/3 the price on sale!

Zs i know you can change line thickness in kindle scribe note. Just click on the pen selection twice.

What an excellent unbiased review. So much helpful! Thank you very much!

Kindle scribe is best, half the price of the boox and remarkable

Would love to see your take on the new Daylight tablet. Expensive at the moment since it just launched this week, but really looking forward to the incredible improvements it can bring

Fantastic review!!!! Thank you!

You can send webpages fo probably almost all of those devices. Also 4000+ colors are still better than just greyscale? Boox device is a clear winner for me here.

Wish you made more videos

One of the best reviews. Answers all the questions I had in my mind and watched dozens of videos to find the right, THIS IS IT. Thank you for doing this.

I am on the same predicament, I keep watching reviews but I keep going back to the remarkable 2. Even though It doesn't have a backlight, I want to buy a device for the sole purpose of replacing my notebooks for school/work, to have it next to me for note taking while reading physical books, and to make to do notes for myself. It is also important for me to keep the paper grippy feel, as I hate the feeling of writing on glass and would just go back to paper, also it need to be thin and light enough to fit on my computer bag or briefcase without adding much bulk to it with a long battery because I forget to charge my phone, much less an e-ink! I think it will be hard for me to find anything else other than the remarkable, I just wish they came out with the remarkable 3 already. Have you tried the Supernote A6X2 Nomad? I would love to hear your taughts on it.

The real problem here is that the iPad isn't all that much more expensive than the other options. So even if the remarkable 2 is perfect for your use case, you're still better off buying the ipad because it's infinitely more product for slightly more money and if you go with an ipad mini, it's actually similarly priced

You should try out the supernote by rattan! I've heard it's really good and i'm currently on a similar journey looking for a good notes-taking solution.

Wow

He did forget to add you have to pay subscription on the Mac to just transfer your own documents which is disgraceful. Appalling business model.

How much did reMarkable pay you to this video? This guy is an idiot and only those that have not expirenced the the boox note air 3c first hand will agree with him

Get out of my brain lol

thank you so much for the review, i actually just bought the remarkable 2, and was going in the loop EXACTLY like yours, my notion is actually on its way here! but i think i should also buy an ipad with a paperlike screen, in order to review or to reread material in color and such, right? thank you so much for your story telling!

So did you look at the Boox Note Air 3 b&w only device? I have the RM2, BUT I really need "CUSTOM TEMPLATES and reMarkable doesn't support them, I'd really like to see someone actually create, load, and USE a custom template in native format (NOT A PDF) but haven't yet found anybody doing it for real!!!

great video! You should make more! I really liked your style

strange my kindle scribe syncs to all my devices and i can download all the notes off of it fine using side loading. maybe you don't know how to use these things. I edit PDF's and export them all the time.

thanks a lot. i have been looking to switch from paper. idk how i feel about not having color though. kind of needed in my usecase.

That was great, and helpful. Thanks.

You should be a full time tech reviewer!

This is one of the best product reviews/comparisons I’ve ever seen

I would love to hear about Supernote. I’m seriously thinking about an e-ink device. No matter what I do, I end up just watching on the iPad. I can’t read on it for long periods. My astigmatism seemed to get worse too.

Thanks for the holistic long-term view and insights!

Very helpful. Thank you 🙏 😊

What is the type of black pen ?

very cool review. I had the same problem, until 10 minutes ago :). Thankyou for your time!

The struggle is REAL -- I have suffered from the same series of failed devices! Thank you for this!

Do not trust such reviews because they only play with the device quickly and superficially to attract visitors, and do not test it professionally. The biggest drawback of the Boox device is that it is not possible to type correctly. To say it simply, what you type is different from what is displayed on the screen! I know, it's a very, very simple and general function that's been since the 1980s on PCs and Nokia phones, but it doesn't work properly on this modern device! So before buying, you need to know that it is not possible to type any text in books, notes, office files etc. Only a series of weird characters are typed. For more than a year, dozens of emails and messages have been exchanged between me and the support team, but this simple problem has not been fixed.

What about kobo series?

Thank you so much for this useful review, you have saved us a lot of money and time, for sure!

No backlight is a serious problem. For my use, that is really important.

Thanks!

This is incredible review!! Could you please help me? I am a student. I want to read and annotate/highlight PDFs (scientific), Substack newsletters, and Reports. I also want to get it back in Google drive (ideally a sync feature will make the workflow seam less: put in GDrive, access in eReader, annotate, access it back in GDrive). 1. Is kindle scribe the device for me or should I look into Boox Tab/Note or Kobo Libra? 2. Is there a good resale market in California? 3. Also, how is the annotation/highlighting and PDF reading experience in general ?
