Hi, Does anyone have a solution for this problem: I use the remarkable to view sheet music. I also take extensive notes during practice. I would ideally like to just point the device at a folder on my NAS and have it sync once connected to my home wifi, in both directions (new pdfs from the NAS get copied to the RM, notes taken during practice get copied to the NAS). If there is no solution for that, maybe I could use a PC as a sort of "middle man" and sync it when the RM gets connected to the PC? If that doesn't work either, can this maybe be done via the dropbox intergration? Obviously I need to install additional software, at least for solutions 1&2. I'm not scared of the command line, so any solutions involving that and maybe even a bit of bash scripting are totally welcome.

Continue to be amazed about the updates that @remarkable pushes out - reading my mind.

Kind of disappointed that it just won't turn on after moving. It was powered off for about 6 months. So that might have something to do with it.

I ordered a new replacement battery from AliExpress, it should arrive in 2 months. But if people know some magic, I'm happy to try it

I finally bought myself and my wife the remarkable 2 last Friday (two separate orders on two separate referral codes thank you kind redditors) I had the confirmation email but nothing since - anyone know the current shipping times for uk orders?

I’ve picked up the kindle scribe pen and 3rd party cases from Amazon thanks to recommendations from the sub, saving a ton on the price.

Is there a Ebook Store like the Kindle has, so that I can browse books infinitely, search and find the books I love, get recommendations, rate on GoodReads, share books on social, and download and instantly read new books?

I'm torn between buying a Kindle Scribe & RM2. Reading novels easily, without cables or transforming files, is a dealbreaker.

What's your recommendation?

Hi all, forgive me if this is covered in another post. Searched and couldn't see anything.
I just downloaded the appropriate RCU version for MAC os 14, and the OS won't let the program open. I'm following the instructions in the manual to right click->open. anyhelp is appreciated. thanks.

Is there a way to send a notebook to another RM user as vector data (with editable strokes)?

Use case: I've created a page full of hand-drawn icons that I'd like to share with my son-in-law so he can copy/paste them in his notes. I was hoping there's a way I could ssh/scp a file somewhere to get the "raw" data, but I suspect it's not that simple.

I see a new issue on my RM when j am writing it keeps moving the page right making my left side marginal inconsistent. Seems like palm rejection issue (?) Does anyone know what causes this ?

My son is 3 and likes to pick up EVERYTHING I own. Whilst he is fairly good, I worry my new RM2 will be dropped. I’m looking for a fairly slim but protective folio case I can easily flip round and write notes on. Ideally when flapped round it will be as flat as possible

Any advice is greatly welcomed. Thanks!

I'm sure this has been discussed many times on reddit.

Before you flame me for bringing this up yet again, I appreciate it's not an "apples for apples" comparison.

However, I am interested in hearing from folk that own both, i.e. a remarkable 2 and a Scribe for Paperwhite.

What do you like about one compared to the other? How does the writing/ drawing compare against both devices? Which user interface do you prefer?

Finally, if you do own both, I have a difficult question... "If I had to take one away from you, which would you keep?"

Hey guys, how do you cut and paste items from the remarkable tablet that are on a PDF like your scrawl some stuff i’ll do it and you would’ve converted to text because your handwriting is terrible. How do you just drop it right back into the same PDF?

I’m thinking about returning it as I haven’t used as much as I hoped, but I got rid of the original boxes . Is it necessary ?

I've got the remarkable 2 and love it but can't justify the price of the cases on their website.

I went through this subreddit and found a few that stuck out and noted that most recommended ones that do no have magnetic covers only spines - I found this one: https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/aw/d/B097BYVJ7C?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

While it's a nice cover I find it still kind of messes with the screen - in some spots I noticed a more pronounced misalignment of the marker tip to the screen so it would write 2-3 mm to the left of it the marker tip. Has anyone had this?

In emailing remarkable they recommended:

"This appears to be a calibration issue on your device, a hard shutdown may fix the issue: Hold down the power button for 15 seconds. You won’t see a response from the screen, but it will force your reMarkable to shut down. Let go of the power button and wait a few seconds. Hold the power button again for about two seconds, to turn it back on. In addition to, we cannot guarantee that it is the solution, but you can try to swipe your marker horizontally across the surface of the screen of your reMarkable device to demagnetized it. Please tell us how it goes.

Furthermore, this problem can sometimes occur and is usually caused by the marker tip not being fully connected to the electronic pressure sensors on the inside.

I recommend that you take out the marker tip and then reinsert it carefully, but firmly. When inserting a new tip, make sure you put it nice and straight, and as far down as possible.

If that doesn't do the trick, then try replacing the marker tip and then restarting your device."

I have done this but it slowly returned, I think perhaps it might be the case but I am going to try and use it without it and see.

Does anyone use it without a case? How do you stop your marker going for a walk in your bag? Does anyone use a notebook sleeve for theirs?

Hi - The super smart person writing this forgot to turn auto update and unroll the beta.

Anyway wants to update the Lamy hack button?

:D

Is there a way to move notebooks to a different folder on the device itself, where it won't be visible on the "general notebook selection" page? Just trying to clean up the clutter, without actually removing notes (that I do still refer to, from time to time) from the device, and not having to rely on yet, another device (cellphone, that's not always on me 100% of the time) to pull peripheral notes, or references from.

Okay so I have an unusual problem:

I have the reMarkable tablet 2 for two years now and everything worked perfectly fine so far (although there were some functions missing, but they're correcting them little by little as already discussed in this sub).

But three or four days ago there appeared a new message on the energy saving screen where the version or update messages were: "Please go fuck yourself". What is happening at the reMarkable IT section?

Is anyone else encountering this issue?

Hi All,

I had the chance to use a reMarkable 1 and the handwriting recognition (in capital letters not even in cursive) was "bad" to be honest...

Has things improved with reMarkable 2? The possibility to convert handwritten notes into text would be the top reason to purchase this device!

Interested in hearing from the community here

Thanks!

Which is better for sensitive eyes kindle scribe paper whitet ot remarkable 2?

I bought an old remarkable with the idea of using it as a display for my homeassistant (home automation platform). Ideally, I’d like to write a program that wakes up every minute or two, polls my HA instance for sensor data/whatever, sets a sleep screen to an image of helpful data, then goes back to sleep to save battery life. I’ve tried searching, but can’t figure out if there’s a way to do that. Any suggestions?

Hello, I was wondering what is happening when my Remarkable is full but I use Connect ? Can I still create files and unload files from my Remarkable and keep them in the cloud ? Thanks

For those of us who are into efficiency and making the most out of our devices, this is a must! I waited before installing it, as I wanted to ensure I was off the Remarkable beta SW and on a stable release (3.8.2.1965). These features are the BOMB!

Here is a <link> to the tool, and if you need help connecting/installing, just post (as SSH isn't for everyone). Super crazy cool! Well done!

Thanks,
DaveR
