Hi All
I’m currently researching the digital paper tablet market. As a fellow enthusiast of digital note-taking and reading technology, I’m exploring the idea of creating a new product that could serve as an alternative to the reMarkable.
I’d love to get your thoughts on a few aspects:
Pricing: Do you feel that the reMarkable tablet is priced appropriately for what it offers? If not, what would you consider a fair price point for a similar product?
Features & Functions: Are there additional features or functions you wish your reMarkable had? This could be anything from software capabilities to hardware improvements.
Likes & Preferences: What aspects of the reMarkable do you especially enjoy?
And of course, any other feedback or suggestions you have would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you so much in advance for your time and for sharing your valuable opinions.
In this sub, you’re going to get a ton of apologists explaining away extremely limited note-taking software (note-taking, not overall software). I didn’t want an Android e-ink tablet (Boox Note Air 2 Plus), but I had to go with one because it’s the only thing that isn’t a hunk of plastic (Supernote) but still feels relatively premium like the Remarkable. The rM2, for what the company is asking for price-wise, is far too limited in its capabilities. I mean, they release the ability to draw a straight line and half the people here lose their shit.
I could look past a lot of the limitations (not being able to move typed text beyond vertical intervals, lack of light, crappy handwriting recognition) if the tagging system wasn’t simply “here’s a page, you can add a tag.” The entire device is designed to take notes, and they still haven’t figured out a way to index or table tagged notes like just about any other mainstream e-ink device on the market. It’s baffling.
rM has a lot of potential but they are lagging behind the competition. They will have their fair share of fans, that no matter what will buy their products and support it. Their fanfare is diminishing as time goes on and improvements are made at an astonishing rate in other similar products, while they sit back and do nothing.
rM reminds me of Nokia back in the day. At one point held the crown but their reluctance to improve led to their eventual downfall and the rise of other companies that were not scared to innovate and push the limits forward.
