My Decision - Help? (alien.top)

Hi,

I need a tablet for (1) making handwritten notes to replace too many moleskines and to create a digital record of them (2) to read academic papers and annotate them.

I need to decide between Remarkable2 and iPAD Air + apple pencil. Any thoughts appreciated.

I have the impression that remarkable2 will be the best writing experience, however - an Ipad will connect direcly with Zotero. I am happy to download papers from zotero and upload them back to zotero, but realise that i will not be able to output all highlights in zotero from papers annotated in remarkable.

I have a macbook so am focused on the tasks highlighted above.

many thanks

Boox sells e ink devices that can access the internet, use Android apps (is Zotero on Android?), have front lights, and have excellent PDF reading software. Remarkable’s tactile writing experience is a skootch better, but it’s not a great reader and it doesn’t have a ton of internet access — more of a digital notebook.

Good points here. Remarkable will likely be too limiting
