In this sub, you're going to get a ton of apologists explaining away extremely limited note-taking software (note-taking, not overall software). I didn't want an Android e-ink tablet (Boox Note Air 2 Plus), but I had to go with one because it's the only thing that isn't a hunk of plastic (Supernote) but still feels relatively premium like the Remarkable. The rM2, for what the company is asking for price-wise, is far too limited in its capabilities. I mean, they release the ability to draw a straight line and half the people here lose their shit.

I could look past a lot of the limitations (not being able to move typed text beyond vertical intervals, lack of light, crappy handwriting recognition) if the tagging system wasn't simply "here's a page, you can add a tag." The entire device is designed to take notes, and they still haven't figured out a way to index or table tagged notes like just about any other mainstream e-ink device on the market. It's baffling.

Seconded. Writing feel is close to rM2 and the note-taking capabilities are incredible.

Imagine the Boox (or even the Supernote, with star-marks and table of contents) note-taking on the rM2...drool

the search is unusable - why can't I search for tags or text within a notebook?! I have notebooks tagged to a client name and I also take notes from a sales call which talks about all the clients - I can't search for "Client X" and find all mentions of them

This is the reason I sold mine. If this functionality ever gets introduced, I'll sell my Boox and come running back.
