Hey everyone. I’ve been heavily researching the Remarkable 2 tablet for the last few months and I’ve always been interested in it, yet never took the plunge. There are now quite a few options for E-Ink readers and digital notebooks. It’s very overwhelming. However, with that said, I decided on purchasing the Remarkable 2 device because I want a device that is simple and good at what it does. I don’t want a tablet experience with the option of taking notes. I feel like many other digital notebooks are a jack of all trades master of none. I’m reading how although Remarkable’s features are limited, it’s great at what it does, and that’s what I’m looking for. Also trying to get into deeper work and reduce all distractions.
I am looking to use this device to help with my professional school work, keeping notebooks for those subjects and also to help manage my household. One of those topics being budgeting. Am I able to upload paper statements to the remarkable? My understanding is that there is an app or a dashboard that I can use to sync documents to the Remarkable? Ideally, I would love to have my cash budgeting documented inside of the remarkable and statements where I can make notes things of that nature. Is that possible with this device?
Also, sidenote, the one thing that was also holding me back with this purchase is the complaints of customer service. I’m just trying to be optimistic though, and hopefully things will go well. I’d love to take advantage of the Black Friday sale. Thank you for your time!
Thank you so much for your feedback, Im not sure why some of these threads get so hostile. It seems to be a theme with a lot of these e-ink device subreddits. I am just looking for a basic notebook with some elevated features that i can use for school/home. Im so not interested in an LCD screen or ipad type of tablet. Im not sure if the way I worded my post was off putting 🤷♀️
Thank you for this comment, I really appreciate it. I am saving it to refer back to when I order the device. I think it will definitly be what I need to help wrangle some of these paper notebooks I drag around!
I’m using my remarkable every day in school and it works great. really great. I got all my important documents on it which I upload in the evening via the remarkable cloud from my computer: lists of names, stories I want to read, my mostly important preparation file, I make notes, read, without any delay. It’s a easy and smooth to use device.
It’s the best you can get, because the students are not distracted by any screen-light, no colours…
You can even take it with you in the chair circle (if this is the correct name of a “Stuhlkreis”).
The reMarkable subreddit is usually pretty tame, but in general, an iPad hating group, but I think they were afraid you might be trying to add numbers without a spreadsheet or calculator and they panicked at the thought of anyone doing a column of sums with a pencil…
All joking aside, come back and ask more questions here after you get your reMarkable. This really is a helpful group!
