hello everyone!

I'm thinking on buying a remarkable, but I have doubts about how easy is the transition from paper to e-ink, since I'm too used to take notes in a physical way.

How was your experience? how smooth was the switch?

I am also thinking of buying the case with the keyboard, but the price is really high. For those who already have it, do you really use it? or would you recommend me to wait and buy it after trying the remarkable one?

I look forward to your opinions and thank you very much!

I don’t have the Type Folio, but the current implementation of typing is super awkward. You can’t control where the text shows up or how wide it is. You have limited control over the font. You get one style per line. There isn’t a good search from the device. Someday they will probably improve some of these pain points, but I would rather type on my phone or iPad or computer when I need to type. If typing is important to you, check out some video reviews first.

If price is an issue, be patient and watch this group and Facebooks groups and eBay for a deal. You should be able to get a cheaper price within 2-4 weeks. If you want new, use a referral code from the pinned post in this group.

As others have said, the writing experience is excellent. No other tablet matches reMarkable for the writing experience. Low light is an issue, just like writing on paper in that regard. Organization of files is good too. I think this device is a great fit for someone who likes taking paper notes.
