Essentials Bundle – Gray | reMarkable 2 Paper Tablet | Includes Black and White 10.3”Writing Tablet, Marker Plus Pen with Eraser, Book Folio Cover in Gray Weave

This tablet reduced my paperwork by more than 50%. I had this great requirement of organising conceptual notes in a tidy manner. reMarkable 2 helped me achieve that. And it comes with complete eco-friendliness. The screen has ample space for writing enthusiasts. The build quality is indeed very good with no spaces or limitations observed. The device itself is extremely light; the stylus that has been provided feels premium. Plus, it requires no charge as the Apple Pencil does, so you're just good to go on the fly. For those complaining that the pen does not attach to the tablet, then you need to try again. The stylus attaches very nicely with minimal movement on the right edge of the tablet, just below the upper right corner. Here it simply snaps and attaches well. The most important part - the writing experience that it promises, and it indeed delivers really well here. The haptic feedback is great, with literally no lag when it comes to writing. It certainly does achieve its objective of paper feel - will make you forget at times that you're writing on a tablet. I just wished that the screen resolution could be 300ppi instead of 226 but that is not even a limitation. I have finally opened myself in maintaining a journal, maintaining a full-blown notebook where lots of concepts rest, and has allowed me to keep a daily organiser as well with a sudoku book. It has made stuff that mattered the most a lot more minimal and convenient to maintain. For those who write a lot in combination with real paper all out of requirement or simply because of passion, then this is the thing for you. Edit: After extensive use of 2 months, this device has stood with no scratches on screen or backside. Jotting down is a blast!

It is exactly what it is advertised for. The e-ink screen is great, and I adore its design, its aesthetic. It's a pleasure to look at, just beautiful. The writing experience is the best in the e-ink category. Its e-ink so no eye strain, totally replaces paper for me. It has no backlight, so using a portable book lamp. This is a device that is focused on the philosophy of Focus. This is no Kindle Scribe and there are very few features when compared to onyx boox tab series which is a proper android tablet with an e-ink screen. There are 13.3-inch e-ink devices as well. There are more than 10 brands making these kinds of e-ink devices. My decision to choose this product was simply because the remarkable 2 has the best writing feel plus the incredible design. This device is for those who want to avoid digital screens due to eye strain. And devices such as these make Paper redundant in the digital age. It's expensive but I have used my kindle extensively for more than a decade without any issues and makes Life incredibly convenient. No more heavy stacks of books and notebooks that I have to manage.

After using the Remarkable 2 for over a month, it has now become an indispensable addition. The sheer fact that I can carry ALL my notes together in one place in such a convenient form factor is such a blessing. Have taken to it like a duck to water. I have so many folders, notebooks and pages and have been able to settle down with the organisation of notes really well. Adios to all my paper notes, diaries and note pads. If you ask me, what is really the big differentiator of this product over any other device is the concept of layers (upto 5) which can be used. Think of each layer as a transparent sheet over each page, which you can add and remove as you please. The best part? Even the underlying template can be changed. So, one really writes on Layer 1, which you can think of like floats over the underlying template. If you choose to change the template after writing your notes, no problem. The writing was on a different layer than the template. So, you can change the template. A template is like "Broad Lines with a Margin", or a "Grid Pattern - Large" or "Grid Pattern - Medium" etc. The text we write is not married to the template we write on. But, even more awesome are the additional layers one can add on top of your notes on Layer 1. Think of it like tracing paper on your notes. So, for instance, you can add your remarks - in a different colour on Layer 2, while the original text is on Layer 1. Or Red Markups and Yellow Text Highlights on Layer 3. And you can choose to toggle between seeing a specific layer or not. So, while reviewing someone else's notes, for instance, I could add my comments on a different layer, leaving the original notes on Layer 1 undisturbed. Love this layer feature. Another great feature I have started using very often is the ability to mail specific pages of a notebook. So, you can select for instance to mail only Page 2 and Page 4 Notes to perhaps the meeting attendees, while you have your other notes captured but which you dont have to share. You decide which portion of your notes you want to share. So, I use it to capture action items during meetings and immediately thereafter, can mail my hand-written notes to others. It works like a charm. You can decide whether to mail as PDF or JPG or SVG. Now, the Layers I mentioned above, can be added or removed while mailing. That is really so awesome. So, you could send with markups, highlights and comments or just plain notes. How awesome is that ! The writing is really great. I found the Calligraphy pen really great to write with - my hand writing in cursive comes out great - like really awesome. I also like the Mechanical Pencil, Marker and Fineliner too, but not a great fan of the Ballpoint Pen. But, these are my preferences. Yours might be different. And the fact that while writing there are no distractions from annoying pop up notifications, etc. is such a blessing. It gives me all the pleasure of writing on paper with the advantage of carrying all my notes in such a sleek form factor. I charge my battery about once a week, because I am such a heavy user. But, havent found it short of juice when I needed it yet, Havent found much need for a keyboard. Perhaps becoz I love writing my notes. Also dont convert much of my notes to text though that option exists and works well. So, how do I search my notes? Well, one can add tags at two levels - individual pages and notebooks. So, searching is quite easy due to that. I also like that I can make a page as long as I want. Without restrictions on its size. I dont have a problem with varying page lengths in the same notebook. So, the page is a really an idea and not a physical form factor constraint while taking notes. The colours do show up on PDFs and images, when synced with my desktop app and mobile app, if we use different colour pens and colour highlights. But, they dont show up on the device or rather show up in black and white or shades of grey. I thought that might be a problem at first, but, I find it doesnt trouble me now. Would recommend Rem 2 to anyone who loves writing and takes notes a lot. Since I do that, I love this product.

Updated review after 3 weeks of usage. . Pro 0. Availability in India. 1. With quicknotes features, you can immediately capture the concept, ideas, todo. Distraction free. 2.

My computer and tablet usage reduced substantially. 5. PDF annotation is time saver. eBooks can be uploaded. Cons 1. Lacks editing capabilities of iPad/Android tablets with apps like Goodnotes / Notability. 2. Subscription for the synchronising after 1 year. They should provide India specific subscription. 3. Limited Ebooks features. 3. It is quite expensive. 4. "100 day return guarantee is available" if you place order thro remarkable website. But in the remarkable website has only "Buy on Amazon" option for Indian visitors. 5. When raised the "low battery life of 2.5 days", support team suggested a battery test, but the response was not clear about the expected battery life. Bottomline Great product. But product does not have useful support structure in India.

This is one of the best purchases I have made. For my line of working on projects and schedules, I have to carry different notepad and planners, almost making me looking like carrying heavy luggage. But this one made my job simple. Further, mobile phone planner / notepad equivalent can't even come closer to this. Writing feel, UI, Functionality is good. Keep it up Remarkable Team.

Being a operation head of large organisation, handling multi locations plants. It is always challenge to arrange notes discussed with various stakeholders. Tried various methods like ipad etc.. but not at all effective. After using this for more than month I can say this is best purchase of my life. Improved my efficiency, all notes are always handy on my mobile, desktop which I can share immediately after meeting or can access thru Mobile before meeting. Best part is paper like feeling while writing, no distraction simply NO Nonsense product. Price is little high which is OK as the value it create is so much of value. Must for any Executive

I bought this a few days ago. I am a writer and at any given time I have at least 4 notebooks with different things in it. This is extra confusing, because I suffer from ADHD. This e-notebook has replaced all my other books for taking notes, writing my novel and all of my lists — all in one place! It’s amazing! But please understand that it will NOT replace your iPad/laptop or phone. It has no apps and it’s almost solely for writing and sketching. Yes you could read, but since it doesn’t support kindle but it will not replace your kindle/book reading electronic devices. Cons: - the edges gives out raggedy handwriting which is a bit annoying but I write away from it. - the marker plus pen is heavy and I prefer lighter pens since I write a LOT and after a while, my hand starts cramping. You could use a different pen with the pen tips but I personally haven’t tried that yet. - it’s black and white. With my physical notebook, I like to use coloured pens to add titles and subtitles. But I can’t with this device. You could use different writing formats like the marker and the calligraphy pen to make up for this but I personally would have liked a coloured screen. - The folio doesn’t have a slot for the pen so when you close the folio flap, the pen that’s attached to the device sticks out and could easily fall and be lost. - it’s touchscreen is rudimentary when compared to tablets so it’s slow clicks will take some getting used to. - quick notes cannot be individually added into folders which is annoying. Only notebooks can. Also, the quick notes are all arranged in the same tab. So if I have one quick note and then at another time, I take another quick note, it won’t show up separately on the main files section. You have to click on the one tab for it and then choose the page from the menu tabs. Note: these cons are annoying but NOT a deal breaker for me to replace my physical notebooks. I have replaced them all with the remarkable 2 and I have NO regrets!

The product is great. As a bibliophile, I am completely hooked on it. While many have written in online groups, that the reading experience is not the same as writing, I toh think reading is just as excellent. I even prefer it to read over my Kindle. Yes, you will not be able to have synced libraries, but like me, if you have downloaded books, that won't be the problem. The writing experience is wonderful. I really love it. It's just too expensive and difficult to say if it is worth it, but when you fall in love rationality goes out the window.
