I bought my Remarkable for the primary reason of writing. For so long I've been searching for a bare-bones e-ink "typewriter" without features that might distract me. There are some on the market, but the UI or design of the devices have been pretty awful. Then I saw Remarkable release the Type Folio and pounced.
It's been a godsend. The keyboard is nice to write on, the UI is simple and clean. I would thoroughly recommend it for writing, especially if, like me, you have ADHD.
My only gripe is that it doesn't currently have a Serif font which I prefer to use for writing, but I imagine that'll come at some point in an upcoming update.
I also don't mind the fact that it isn't instantly available on Google Docs or anything, as I bought it with the sole intention of it simply being a drafting platform. Every time I finish a chunk of writing I'll simply open the Remarkable app on my laptop and copy and paste the work into my working file (I currently use the Ulysses app).
