Not at all. I got the RM2 to handwrite. I hate low profile keyboards, I'm a big keys, mechanical keyboard type of person. I personally don't see the appeal but to each their own!

I was hesitant as well but I use it a lot. There's thing I always wanted to do that I now find myself doing everyday since getting it (like journaling) It's helping me tremendously to stay organized as opposed to my notes scribbled all over a notebook. And if I ever need to, the ability to share my handwritten notes with my employees (ie meeting notes or whatever) is there and it's easy.

I saved cost by using a referral code, getting a refurbished one and getting a 3rd party stylus and folio both of which I love.

I definitely use it a lot. It's been a month now and it never leaves my side.

I have a personal journal where I just wrote freely, a gratitude journal with like prompt where I write affirmations etc. A daily planner that has monthly, weekly and daily breakdowns where I write all my to dos (it's like my paper version of my google calendar but with notes and lists) and meeting notebook where I take meeting notes and plan for upcoming meetings. I also have just plain notebook where I'm tracking various projects notes and certain situations where I need to keep notes on progress.

Ive used both the kindle scribe and the RM2. I strongly believe the scribe is overall better but it had some pitfalls that didn't work for me, so that's why I ended up going with RM2 and it hit the marks.

-the scribe is faster and more responsive and smoother to write on. -where it fell short was the sharing of document that can only send pdf of notebooks or the txt from ocr conversion of a notebook via email, max 4 emails

-what I really needed: Ability to send single page pdf of notes made on templates other than default notebooks (ie a meeting note template pdf, a planner page etc) This is where the remarkable bridged the gap for me.

-what I misunderstood about RM2 (honestly never was clear in any of the documentation I read or videos I watched) The google drive sync, it's inward not outward. So you can edit documents from your drive but you can't share something you've worked on straight from the RM2 to your drive. (Not a huge deal but would have been nice)

Graphic novels and books look pretty similar on both devices. But kindle supports more format.

The set up and transfer of books and pdf and organisation of the RM2 is better.

Anyways just wanted to share this as I've literally used both in the same week. Can't help with the other devices !

The scribe is pretty awesome and you can get it with a payment plan on Amazon. The organization is neat ( You can create collections if you use templates or folders for the notebooks) The Ocr on the latest update is nice although I personally wish it made something other than a txt file (for me, I would have to add extra step, copy the text into another document) The sharing is where it's really meh for me personally. You can only share via email up to 5 recipient. And if you are using a pdf template - the sharing features becomes even more wonky for me. If the notes are for you, then it's a great option in my opinion. As a student, I would have loved this! And there are so many great templates available for it: word search, drawing, gratitude journals, various types of journals, planners etc.
