reMarkableEssentials 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

The ReMarkable2 is making my life easier daily. I am still learning to use it and leverage the features it contains yet in a few short weeks it is making my work/side hustle/personal life easier. A few simple positives:It is simplistic. It does one thing and it does it well.It is distraction free.Basic usage is intuitive.Intermediate usage is pretty intuitive with a little guidance.I still need to dive into training videos to become a power user.I appreciated the packaging came in recyclable containers.The ability to write, erase, and move text is super simple.Organizing is easy once you understand the Folder/Notebook/Quick Sheets structure.I spent 3 days in a seminar recently. I was able to download the PDF notebook (over 200 pages of documents) into my ReMarkable and then write my notes on the document. I will upload the document back to Dropbox to save/print off later. I had the option of writing my notes on the document or using a Layer (think clear sheet) that I could write on and turn the 2nd layer off if I wanted to see the main document without my notes. That wasn't an issue for me. Later, I did have one page with checklists I needed to use 3 times so I chose to use the Layers for each use and then remove them when I didn't need it anymore.At work, I have a weekly meeting that traditionally has been one sheet of paper per week and then keeping up with each piece of paper as I needed to go back and review. With the Notebook feature, I now have those meeting notes going into one document that I will add to each week. It's easy to find and no lost pieces of paper. I also have a coaching practice and this allows me to keep notes on clients in one running document instead of multiples I must file and track.Two things for the creators to consider - first, it would be easier to read downloaded documents with a lighter/color screen. That said, the existing screen didn't stop me from accomplishing what I wanted to accomplish. Second, a pen loop would be helpful as the magnetic pencil can come unattached. That said, placing the ReMarkable with the binder edge down and pencil on top in my bag helps.I think I have now sold 6 of these to family and friends. At the recent conference there were a few of us who had the ReMarkable2 and we met during a break to share notes and unanimous enthusiasm for this tool.It is fantastic.

I wanted to work with this before writing a review. I've been using it for 5 months now and can say, unequivocally, that this is a great product.Writing experienceAs a pen aficionado, I've been surprised at how much I enjoy writing with this. I have the pen that erases. I'm on my second pen tip and use it almost daily, so it has pretty good 'tip life'. The writing experience is really nice. Took no adjustment on my part.The PlatformIt's easy to navigate. Easy to categorize and name documents and organize folders. I don't use the handwriting to text feature bc my writing doesn't translate well, so I can't comment on that. However, where before I was carrying around multiple notebooks for different areas of my life, now I have just one. One! And it contains my work notes, my construction notes, my volunteer work notes, PDFs that I've downloaded. Drawings I've made. It's so efficient. And I've never run out of battery life.SummaryI was concerned that I wouldn't take to this given my pen/paper fondness, but the Remarkable has truly delivered. This is not cheap, but well worth the investment thus far. I recommend it.

I hesitated because of price but this product has changed my work-life for the better. As an HR representative, I struggled with organizing notes, and I take notes on EVERYTHING. The tagging feature I absolutely revolutionary for me. I can keep all of my notes in one place, in a portable, light device that I can also link to my computer. I love porting over documents to take notes on.The pen options are perfect for a wide range of uses. It stays charged for a decent amount of time considering I am using it all day every day. I didn’t bother buying an expensive ReMarkable brand cover for it, so I got an inexpensive off brand one that works perfectly. The magnet feature on the pen has helps keep it from being misplaced. The eraser feature on the pen is amazing, too. It can be very precise, which is awesome.There are a couple of features that aren’t ideal for my uses. The first is the tip on the pen. The package includes extra tips, which is great but even when I’m consciously trying to write lightly, they wear out very quickly. There are off brand pen tips on the market but haven’t tried them yet. Another feature I wish the device had was being able to move typed text around on a page. It’s more feasible in the app than on the actual device, but you can’t in real time move text to different spots in the page, which is not the end of the world but definitely frustrating.
