Although I do not (yet!) have a remarkable or e-ink tablet, I have always loved physical thesaurus' and dictionaries. I think it's similar to my love of notebooks - having the tactile experience of turning the pages and searching the screen, I just love it! I also get a feeling of community in a way I don't quite find with using an online thesaurus for example - it feels like I'm really reading words someone has chosen to include, whereas there's a sort of disconnect for me when looking on the internet. There isn't much that brings me more joy than a good pocket dictionary!
Great and important video! With this "infinite" pages update 2 years ago I don't see how its possible to write a whole book unless you make every chapter a new Notebook and still then its amazingly cumbersome to back reference something. We need actual pages and Remarkable Team were numbskulls for removing it and giving no alternatives.
You are spot on, every chapter is a new notebook! Currently on chapter #32. I have found my rhythm in the chaos that is the simplistic layout of features on the Remarkable 2. In my personal experience, it has been surprisingly easy so far. The UI is so simplistic; that it actually changed the way that I write. Not good, not bad, just different. How refreshing it has been to approach writing that is simply, different. Unattached to any style, preconceived rules, margins, space, etc. Yet, it is still just my writing, musings, mind maps, creative and uncreative expressions. My emotions filtered into something that can make me, you, or anyone possibly feel, something. On a side note, yes it could use some improvements, but wow! What a time to be alive, how lucky we are to have access to these tools, and tech. Thanks for checking in 😊
I love using the ReMarkable 2 type folio for weekly writing projects ... 4,000 words. But I would be eager to see your video progress on transferring the text to another layout program ... Word ... Scrivener, etc.
The price is definitely a slowing factor in my decision to purchase. I'll be waiting and watching for important software updates. There could be more features developed that might justify the added color bonus.
This is a good tip! It doesn't translate across all devices unfortunately. Different panels have different nits, and technology OLED/LCD/ETC which for me causes eye strain over time. I really enjoy the E-ink devices for the lack of actual illumination (certain devices like the RM2 don't even have a brightness setting), and low refresh rates.
Yes! I will have to. Do you have recommendations for any version or prints I should take a look at? When you search it all that comes up is the online version. Thank you!
I have a Remarkable 2 and I thought by now I would have the keyboard/case as well. But watching other people type on it, I've decided it's not for me. I usually type with a keyboard on my lap (something this can't do) and I need to elevate the back of the keyboard when typing on a desk. This keyboard sitting flat on the table would ruin my wrists and forearms. Do you experience any of that? Good luck with your novel!
Totally understandable. My husband has had similar issues over the years with various tablets w/accompanying cases, docks, etc. I have been fortunate enough not to experience the same. He's even exclaimed "How can you sit like that?" I'm not sure "how", but I have always moved/adjusted frequently when sitting. The RM2 is fine for me, even when sitting crosslegged on the couch. Thank you for the support!
Absolutely, it's amazing that we get choices. The e-ink community is very knowledgeable, and helpful in this aspect. Maybe I'll do a video about that next. Thank you! 😄
It’s is definitely an investment. I’ve been a user since 2020 and all though it cost more than now, I don’t regret the investment and the use of my rM2 and e-ink all together. Mercari and eBay share great places to find excellent priced pre-loved devices.
