As someone in college trying to take notes, having infinite scroll is absolutely amazing! Like if I start a topic like Half Wave Rectifier, I can note down everything from its diagram to its applications in a single page which feels much more organized to me.

My other favourite feature updates include pinch to zoom and to navigate the notebook, landscape mode actually going landscape (this one drived me crazy on day one)

My not so favourite one is the Text update. Because it pushed the eraser down, I used to always press the text by mistake. If I get used to it on notebook when using in PDFs that text button vanishes.

People who love infinite scroll are right. It's great it works for them. It's just, I'm not one of them. I don't want it taken away, I just want to be able to friggin' turn it off.

I love Infinite Scroll. I still use pages as well, but love the extra versatility of having Infinite Scroll.

I'm on the fence. It's great for keeping a topic in one place, but if I can have to go way back I can forget I used it unless I put something on top to say it's an IS page (which I do if I remember)

Really a hot take, because I hate it!

This month marks my 3rd year since I bought my rM2, and have been using it basically everyday from monday to friday, and in these 3years is the new feature that I hate the most, always messing my pages, even if you don't scroll down and just right close to the bottom will rescale the page, and if I want to print to pdf to send to someone or save in some other place will get a very disorganized pdf with pages with different sizes.

I used to use the zoom in feature a lot but now I avoid it because zooming out again would be a mess.The new update to centre the zoom feature faster helped, but a toggle on/off of that feature would be wonderfull

I got used to switching pages and then switching back to reset the zoom

Absolutely hate it. Didn't even know it was a thing when I got my rm2 a few weeks ago. Took it for an offsite meeting and ended up with like a 6 page infinite scroll page. Ended up having to break it up and figure out the cut and paste.

I love it. it makes it so much easier for (high) school: I have one "page" for notes that I make during the lesson, one page for assignments/homework, and one for summaries and stuff. Then I can easily switch between all three to look at my notes and stuff.

Should be optional, hate managing scrolling in eInk

[–] ilikevancouver9994@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I like it but understand those who would like to turn off

[–] grid5@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

It's so good! Just make sure you swype to a new page occasionally.

The infinite scroll is of most use for my bullet journal style task list. I create a new page per day, and using infinite scroll one single day can have as many tasks or notes as I like.

Dude, I loved it until my professor asked me to bring only printed notes (taken in an infinite scroll page) for an exam. This does not translate well for printing. It took me 2 hours to break apart these notes into pages, where the scaling was off on every page
