Writing feel is very similar to using fine pointed sharpies on paper, it’s very smooth, very satisfying, very responsive.

I don’t really use the handwriting recognition much and I can’t speak to the kindle scribe but I can tell you the handwriting feel on the ReMarkable is excellent and I appreciate having a distraction-free device solely devoted to productive tasks.

Given the 100 day return policy, I’d suggest giving it a try

Kind of. The Google Drive integration lets you easily make copies of files from your google drive to see on your ReMarkable but it’s not actively syncing that file, it’s a copy. And if you want to update the file in drive, you can export the ReMarkable copy and import it into drive and delete the original, but it’s a several steps.

I’ve found that if I don’t edit a file for 50 days, I might need to reference it but I probably don’t need it changed. If you do need to edit it, I think you can make a copy in ReMarkable and delete the original

I haven’t had any. It’s a simple device but it’s worked perfectly for me for as long as I’ve had it

Files will sync wirelessly if they’ve been edited in the last 50 days. Once you go 50 days without editing a file, it will no longer sync to the cloud.

With Connect, you won’t have that limitation. That’s not the only advantage of Connect but it’s probably the main one. If you want to try Connect, it’s free for a year

So there isn’t a shorthand gesture that does that but the tablet does have that functionality.

You can click to see an overview of the pages and can duplicate a page at will (it just doesn’t have a shorthand gesture without a hack or custom templates as far as I know).

So it won’t do it in response to a quick swipe but it can duplicate pdf pages infinitely

The subscription element just adds extra functionality and saves documents permanently. Without the subscription, it’s still totally functional, it just won’t save documents in the cloud more than 50 days since you last edited it.

Don’t need Connect for text recognition either

Yes (although it’s restricted to pdf format, if that matters at all to you)

I use it for this in lots of classes when the professors post notes beforehand. It works great!

If you’re following along and run out of space, you can just add pages into the pdf too

Think so, I’m not in the beta and I got it today

I use libgen
