7.[Review] ReMarkable 2, My Best Purchase Ever - Nomad Bento
Contrary to what one might imagine, I’m much more of a gadget person than JB. I’m often the one who buys things if I think the new technology is cool, and it can save us work time. However, I am far from being an early adopter. I often wait for the 2nd, 3rd versions… before deciding. Recently, I discovered reMarkable 2, the tablet that allows you to take notes but with a paper-like feel. It is trendy among engineers and managers. So I bought it for JB. JB really likes taking notes. He tried to do it on a normal tablet (iPad), but the touch is not the same, so he quickly gave up on the idea. The advantage of a tablet like the reMarkable 2 is the very nice paper feel, combined with many features that paper notebooks don’t allow. This post is NOT sponsored what is reMarkable 2? reMarkable 2 is an electronic ink (e-ink) tablet that allows you to take notes, draw… but with a paper-like feel. It is also an e-reader, with the added functionality of annotating documents. Dimensions It is the thinnest tablet in the world (4.7mm!), with one main use: taking notes with a pen (without battery). Why does a tablet have to be so thin? To make writing comfortable. If your hand has to sit on a thick surface all day, your wrist can get sore. But 4.7 mm is the thickness of 49 sheets of paper, like a small notepad. It is 188.0 x 246.0 x 4.7 mm Know that a sheet of A4 paper is 297 x 210 mm an iPad is 174.1 x 250.6 x 7.5mm Thus, reMarkable 2 is slightly wider than an iPad but thinner than any tablet and smartphone. I think that NOTHING, but absolutely NOTHING, prepares us for such thinness. The look is so futuristic that it was like Minority Report with Tom Cruise. I bought it for JB, but I finally kept it for myself because this tablet awakened my geek side. I can’t help it. Sorry JB.

Some iPad users have stuck a rough sticker on their screen to imitate this feeling, but it is not enough… The official reMarkable pen’s nibs were designed to scratch the screen in the same way as a pencil on a sheet of paper. Of course, the screen is stronger than the tips, so the pen will not scratch the screen. The texture of the screen, the hardness of the tips… all this took years of work at reMarkable to find the perfect combination. The writing The great thing about reMarkable is that the user does not have to learn how to write or draw on a screen, nor does he adapt his writing to the tablet. Let me explain: when you write on a tablet, whether it’s a graphics tablet or directly on the iPad, the gestures are a little different compared to the gesture you would have with a ballpoint pen. Try signing with a pen on an iPad. Your signature will look a little shaky, unlike your signature on paper. This learning time can be short or long depending on the person, but for artists who need to find the same style or people in a hurry who don’t want to learn how to write differently on a tablet, reMarkable is a magical solution. Writing on reMarkable is a lot like writing on real paper. Turn on the sound! And please bear with my writing. It’s not easy to film and write at the same time. This is possible thanks to the latency between the moment the pen touches the screen and the moment the writing appears. The screen is so responsive that the difference is measured in microseconds (21ms to be precise, the best result on the market). So the brain really assimilates the experience to writing on paper = short-latency + writing that doesn’t change. I don’t know if I expressed myself clearly, but this is my interpretation. Test: text converted to PDF and typed text When you export this writing as a PDF later. The highlighter turns into yellow. The converted text is impressive. There are only two mistakes, but that’s already impressive considering the missing lines on some letters. Personally, this is not a feature I often use because I type much faster than I write, but if you don’t type fast, buy the tablet right away ahahah. The features I like the most I particularly like: Having templates: I never write straight, so having lines to write in is very nice. There are checklist templates, agendas, music scores… The ability to convert handwriting into typewritten text can underline and write directly on a PDF: with my Kindle, I can underline with my finger, but I like the feeling of underlining with a pen, of adding notes, like with a real book. JB uses it to sign contracts or fill out administrative forms. Put a password so that I can only use the device. I’m not paranoid, but I once had a stolen smartphone (where I didn’t put a password). Since then, I have put passwords everywhere. Live View on the computer (to do live stream or record a video from what you write/draw on the reMarkable). It’s not super responsive, but it’s more than enough (I’m on Windows). The use of layers and lasso selections. I tend to overshoot when I write. On a notepad, this is problematic because a table that should be contained on one page often gets overflowed on the second page. With reMarkable, if I overflow, no problem. I select the layer or the piece of text and resize it to stay within one page. With layers, I can show and hide some content (for example, the French translation, to remember a list of words in Spanish) with a paper pad, the notes on the same subject do not follow each other. I have several clients, and the same client can be on pages 3, 4, and then page 30. It’s hard to find notes from an old call. With a tablet-like reMarkable, notes can be organized, by a client, by project … you can add additional sheets of paper in an unlimited way, reorganize your notes, which is not the case with a paper notepad. They have the “palm rejection,” that is to say that you can press your hand on the screen to write, without leaving any trace the eraser on the Marker Plus pen is really good. It feels like the eraser of a real pencil, in the sense that the line is a little blurrier and then disappears completely, just like with a real eraser. The sense of detail is extraordinary. It’s very sensitive, so you don’t have to press too hard either. The official Markers have the advantage of being magnetized to be “stored” on the right side thanks to the magnet. For the super-geeks, there is an unofficial API available to interact with the reMarkable Cloud. I find this tablet awakens the geek in us. You also have several hacks available since the system is based on Linux. Here is the corresponding GitHub. Be careful. At each update, reMarkable deletes all your hacks, so make regular back-ups. Users seem to appreciate the ddvk hacks. I looked at the screenshots, and I think the interface after the hack is too rich, not minimalist enough. My main uses Take notes and prepare for a client call. I organize my notes by clients and by projects. This allows me to quickly check before each call where we were the last time and make a mini-plan of the points discussed during the call. Learning: I am in the process of learning astrology. It is a complex subject with a lot of new knowledge. It’s hard to write down on the computer because you have to use a lot of symbols. I read my books on Kindle, listen to podcasts on my smartphone, and take notes on reMarkable 2. Since I read several books on the subject and each book provides a different insight, I like to resize my old notes to add additional information on the same sheet. Learning a new language: While I learn well on a smartphone, I sometimes need to write several times to memorize new words better. So the tablet is to enrich my vocabulary. I create two columns: in Spanish and French. To learn, I hide the content of one column and write the translation on a third column. I then display the hidden column to compare the results. I also found e-books where you have to do grammar exercises by writing directly into the books. Drawing my travel itinerary. I use Google Maps to create itineraries, but I find that it’s not always readable. I take a screenshot of Google Maps, then export (print) to PDF. I use reMarkable to draw over it (I don’t know how to draw, so I need the Google Maps layer to draw). I hide the PDF content or copy and paste my drawing to a new sheet, and voila, it looks like I made the drawing myself. Too good! Planning my travel itinerary: I used to do it in Excel, but it’s more visual with a calendar you can scribble on. I really like this free calendar created by Korean Youtuber Sobac. It’s a pdf with links to monthly and weekly calendars. The demo of this pdf was made on an iPad pro attention !!!! Create animations for my YouTube videos: thanks to Live View, I can record the screen. This allows me to have nice animations for my videos in a few minutes. Read PDFs that don’t convert well to epub or amz (don’t read well on Kindle). This is the case for some magazines and e-books (the Routard, for example). The layout does not allow them to be converted to be readable on a small screen like Kindle. The size of reMarkable allows you to read these files better because the screen is bigger, and you can zoom in with your fingers. You can convert articles (web pages) to pdf via an extension and send them to the reMarkable cloud. You can then sync the tablet to retrieve them. This is a feature I don’t use much, as I already do it on Kindle. But if you don’t have Kindle, this can be an important feature. OMG, I didn’t do it often on Kindle because it’s not ideal for reading technical documentation. Still, on reMarkable, I sent myself technical docs (30 pages of specs and step by step) to read better on my reMarkable 2, and it’s absolutely fantastic! Note this: the “read on reMarkable” extension and install it on Chrome ASAP! You can send the content in simple text mode (PDF without images) or full-text mode (PDF with images, right-click on the extension image). Users of other e-ink are too jealous because only reMarkable has it! Note: you can see that I don’t use reMarkable much for reading. (1) I already have a Kindle before buying reMarkable, so I’m sluggish to migrate all my ebooks to reMarkable. (2) I have tiny hands, and Kindle is lighter (because it is plastic). reMarkable is only used on...
