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 misguided comments on features and such. If you intend to compete against the RM2, remember that its sole function is as a paper-replacement for note-taking.
In that, it’s a standout success.
Other tablets and such have OTHER features, no doubt valuable to those who need them. The RM does everything a paper tablet would do – even has that incredible feel – and does much MORE than you can do with a simple piece of paper.
Frankly, I worry every time they roll out an update, concerned they may impact something useful as a note-taking device in pursuit of calls to become more tablet-esque.
Its focus is as a paper-replacement for note-taking. If you want/need more (and that’s fair), I’d look for another product.
Pricing – generally fair, though between initial price and subscription, it feels a bit like a gift that keeps giving (or taking).
Likes – the feel of writing to me is the #1 reason I use the RM. Writing on a screen has been around for well over a decade. But to make it feel almost exactly like writing on paper… that’s a big deal for me.
I like the ability to import pdfs, annotate, send back out to PC. Very helpful for my work. I also like the “favorites” and “last viewed” swipes. Have only just begun using tags, though for my money, they’re a solution in search of a problem.
Things I’d like – the response seems sometime slow. Nothing egregious, we’ve just become so accustomed to immediate responses from phone and tablets that it’s noticeable. Would also prefer to be able to access drop-down menu on all pages, not just home.
But that’s just me…
