    I have a remarkable 2. Had it 2 years, use it daily for taking notes during consults.

    I don’t use it for reading or any other task. For me it’s pretty much just an infinite notepad. For this purpose it’s perfect. After 2 years it’s cost has reduced to something similar to paper notepads and pens.

    These devices are definitely not for everyone. They have a way to go to really fulfil their potential, but I wouldn’t be without one.

      I’ve had my eye on this for a while, I’m a rigorous notebook and pen note taker but the ability to search through notes would be a huge benefit - do you find the integration with other services to work well? (I would want to export notes to a separate cloud storage platform like OneDrive)

        Nah, it doesn’t work like that. You couldn’t search hand written notes.

        I’ve never tried it but I think the OCR stuff happens remotely and the only output is email. As in, you can email yourself a notebook and it will arrive as text. The whole idea of this seemed so clunky to me it could barely be called a feature.

        Similarly with services like onedrive. I think you can upload a notebook to onedrive but not sync with onedrive.

        This may have changed, I haven’t looked into this for a long time.

        My advice would be to think of the device as a paper notepad with infinite pages, nothing more. If that’s not worth it for you then don’t get one.
