hello everyone!

I'm thinking on buying a remarkable, but I have doubts about how easy is the transition from paper to e-ink, since I'm too used to take notes in a physical way.

How was your experience? how smooth was the switch?

I am also thinking of buying the case with the keyboard, but the price is really high. For those who already have it, do you really use it? or would you recommend me to wait and buy it after trying the remarkable one?

I look forward to your opinions and thank you very much!

I got mine primarily to mark up rough drafts of novels I’ve been working on or that someone sent me for feedback. For my own personal drafts, I’d been printing out drafts to mark up which became incredibly unwieldy very quickly.

I’d attempted doing the work on an iPad that I already had and remembered why I don’t like reading very long on those screens. I’ve done more markups and notes on the RM2 than I’ve done in years because of how easily it fit into my workflow.

I got the bundle with the marker because that’s pretty much all Best Buy had (most of it was paid using MS points to redeem Amazon gift cards that I used to buy Best Buy gift cards). I got an Ayuto case off of Amazon that I really like. I personally didn’t bother with the keyboard folio because it was way too expensive for something that doesn’t have a full word processor (unless that has changed, but I don’t think it has) on it and I hate typing on chiclet keyboards.
