Hi All,

I guess Remarkable's marketing budget strikes again - I wasn't looking for a Digital E-Ink Notepad, but I do wonder now if it's a thing that might work for me?

I already own a first-generation Kindle, so don't need an e-reader, and I and it seems a lot of the critcism levelled against Remarkable is that it just does the one thing.

So, I am wondering if the Remarkable 2 is for me? I have a few questions;

  • I was initially turned off because of the Subscription element, but investigating it further - Can I just download/export documents I've created via USB?
  • Does Text Recognition only work with the Subscription?
  • Can I upload templates, or documents to annotate? I.e. Process Documentation, etc?
  • I already own a first-generation Kindle, so don't need an e-reader, and I work in a fairly text heavy field, of Records and Information Management, specifically in a Regulatory Capacity. I am always reviewing PDFs, annotating Process Documentations, etc.

Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated before I take the plunge (I imagine this gets asked pretty much weekly)

The subscription element just adds extra functionality and saves documents permanently. Without the subscription, it’s still totally functional, it just won’t save documents in the cloud more than 50 days since you last edited it.

Don’t need Connect for text recognition either

Yes (although it’s restricted to pdf format, if that matters at all to you)
