I’m new to the group and my wife will also be after Christmas.

She just started a new company and the remarkable 2 looked perfect for her needs.

I’ve done some research and have been on the fence of gifting this for 6 months now. I saw the Black Friday deal and decided to pull the trigger.

So, my wife will now be a remarkable user and I’m looking for things I should know to help her adjust to her new device.

Thanks!

Don't copy things from old notebooks. I know that sounds weird but there's an impulse to sort of bridge the gap and start copying things from your old notebooks into the Remarkable. Don't.

Start fresh, make some folders, explore the installed templates. Get a real feel for it. And don't go out spending money on custom templates just yet. You need to get familiar with the device first.

I use my RM2 every day for myriad of things. Work, patterns (knit/crochet), Journaling, and more. It's a gamechanging tool for sure but it will take time to get used to.

Oh and definitely stop buying notebooks. The sooner you gain the mentality of "I have infinite paper", the better!!

Here is a little resource that she can explore also from YouTube. She also has a Facebook Group: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5WMPTuyG788EVvDJlk1zOmJnOmSKWZm_&si=qOpnRojH_ZUXWX5e. I agree with what others said, especially think of it as a Notebook, not a tablet or e-reader. I think people expect it to be a tablet because it’s sometimes referred to as such.
