They got shitty colors now! Probably can’t save anything you write ✍️. It’s a stupid product at a stupid price.

Yet, don’t let me stop you… Please do show us how it works so remarkably like a pencil ✏️📝 and paper.

      I use a Supernote Nomad which is (IMO) their more capable competitor. I’m a messy thinker and a messy writer so the ability to scribble things down then move and resize paragraphs and easily tidy things up is great. I can have multiple notebooks and Supernote allows you to set headings, use tags, and create links between notes/notebooks to easily navigate, find, and reference things. It also lets me select text and add it to a built in reminder app so I have a systemwide list of things I need tondo with due dates etc. The reminder links to the note you created it from so you can easily refresh yourself on content.

      The Nomad is also small, like a travel notebook, so it’s always with me at work. It has a lovely vegan leather book-style case, the stylus is a chunky metal pen with a ceramic tip, and the Nomad has a texture on it that depresses like paper as you write. So it’s also just a really nice and straightforward writing experience when you need it to be, with digital conveniences a few taps away.

        That sounds cool but even for that the price tag is over 400 dollars after the case and pen. Hard to justify that with all the other devices we already carry on us imo

          The price hurt. But the flipside is I use this every day for multiple hours so in the long run its worth it.

          Others do show interest but are immediately turned off by the price. Unfortunately it keeps it niche.

    If the remarkable also functioned as a proper e-reader I would bite the bullet. Still the supernote seems like the best of both. Also comes with ceramic nibs, so no need to change nibs as well

    I’m a huge fan of the Boox devices. They run standard android so you can do whatever you want with them. I use a Boox Note Air with OneNote, great combo as I regularly take notes on 6 different devices and they all get synced to each other. Price is also very reasonable for what they can do.
