Remarkable

Yes. Yes it is. Despite being a bit long in the tooth this is still the best writing experience you can have, the most paper-like feel. Although it depends on some things to really enjoy it … — I think the remarkable works best when you prepare your own PDF-templates and do not use the standard templates. This is a big plus as you can develop your own sketchbook grid, writing lines, calendar, ToDo-Lists or whatever. It’s (to me) the big plus of the remarkable. — To really use this thing best the DDVK-hacks are almost an essential. New gestures, export option, bookmarks, using the eraser on the nice Lamy Pen — these edits are fantastic. Sadly, they are stuck on version 2.15 while RM is on 3.0x these days. Some devs are trying to go further on GitHub with these hacks but it’s not (yet) the same, but there is a new hope at least. Without hacks it is a very good device, with the hacks (and you also can edit startscreen etc via SSH easily) it just is GREAT. — RM currently is using a subscription cloud «connect» system, which is a bad idea and a bad sign for the health of a company. You don’t have to use it but should maybe be aware that new features will go to subscribers (first). Apple notwithstanding, subscriptions tied to hardware make me a bit nervous.

Keeping this in mind, it’s a great tool for writing and notes, super-limited which is a strength. It is in many ways the anti-iPad.
