Hi remarkable people,

I have a question. I used remarkable for four months earlier this year but then I moved to onyx boox note air 2 plus as it offers good PDF reading experience. I love my NA2 plus and use it daily for my notetaking and pdf reading. However, I have constantly been bombarded with ads from remarkable whenever I consume social media. It’s tempting and I want remarkable again, even though I know it will certainly be a downgrade as pdf reading experience on rM2 was mediocre (which is my primary reason for using eink).

I left rM2 at 3.3 version but I see some promising upgrades in recent 3.8 beta. Is pdf reading still the same on rM2 device? Should I really buy it again?

I must say, they have really great advertising campaigns and a perfect marketing strategy.

What did you not like about the pdf reading on the rm

[–] Delicious-Finish-909@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

most of the papers I read are four columns. rM2 does have a way show easy column, enlarged.

yeah, zooming in and out on pdfs on rm is still awful, and i dont see that changing anytime soon. i personally use two devices: rm as a notebook, and the old sony dpt for pdf reading and annotating. it also makes sense to have two screens and avoid having to switch between note and doc all the time. my point: only get it if you want to use them in conplementarity, not to read column pdfs on rm

You are right! Unfortunately, I’m a student and I can’t afford yet another device on its own.
