no offense, but might as well get a notebook + pencil. less than 5 bucks. lol. jk.

 

That's what I thought when I got hyped about remarkable 1. And when I showed the video to my wife, she said the same thing. And we are both fans of e ink readers.

Remarkable 2 is supposed to be a more expensive when I looked at it. I definitely don't remember it at this price point. 

I bought it almost a year ago

Digitization is easy to orgynise and search.

And no risk of the dog tearing my paper notebook 😂

I didn't know so many people know it outside of e ink enthusiasts. 

Its a niche more premium product.

My wife was the one who told me about it.

so I bought it… for her to use. And she’s still loving it.

i prefer to type notes into my laptop. Faster this way. But if drawing diagrams and stuff, then pen/paper or remarkable/iPad will be good

There's different note taking styles. Linear note taking like OneNote/ Evernote/apple notes. Nowadays also got obsidian and other note taking apps to act as 2nd brain. 

I use Evernote for notes. 

But if I'm studying or thinking about something, I use pen and paper. I got lot of A4 at home.

If u are studying something, then it changes. Mind maps can be very useful.

Can consider Lenovo

If I had a dog do that, I’ll tear him a new one! 😂

Thank you for all the input and feedback.

My main purpose of getting an E-ink device is for note taking, so the writing feel is preferably as close to paper as possible. I have an older gen iPad and tried writing on it with an Apple pencil I borrowed from a friend, it lack the tactile feel, and even worst than writing on whiteboard using a brand new marker. Sorry I can' think of a better way to describe the feel.

I admit I am not good with organizing my notes as I like to write in physical notebook, A4 paper and even recycled paper, basically whatever I can grab at the moment, so having a device for better note management is also my other consideration.

The Remarkable sounds good for my needs. Do they have a physical store in Singapore, or is there any place the set is available for testing?

I used a paper like screen protector on my ipad. So the writing is very similar to writing on paper.

It would be the same with any writing tablet, it will need a paper like screen protector to give you the feel of writing on paper.

You can watch this guy's videos where he reviews various writing and drawing tablets. He is a graphic designer for SPH.

I've been eyeing e-ink tablets for note-taking too. They're easier on the eyes, which is a big plus for long reading or writing sessions. I haven't tried Kindle Scribe or Boox Note Air 2 Plus yet, but I hear good things about their 10.3" screens and note-taking capabilities.

Personally, I use an online notepad that deletes notes after reading, which is handy for privacy. It's great for jotting down quick ideas or organizing thoughts. If you're leaning towards an e-ink tablet, those models sound solid for boosting productivity with their features.
