I recently got one and have used it every single day for a month, it is frightening how quickly it became part of my workflow.

One downside is I dig in extremely hard to the screen and the replacement nibs are on the pricey side, so one thing to consider if you are getting one - there is an extended up-keep cost if, like me, you can't help but dig into the screen a little.

For me the reMarkable feels like tech that came from the heavens, a digital piece of paper that I can carry around and hack on (it has an SSH interface!). Which is weird considering eInk isn't new. I really hope they can release a smaller, cheaper version to keep the company ticking over so they can release hardware updates to the larger models.



Can you say what all you do with it?


Sure;

1. Using the LiveShare feature to mirror it to the screen to show diagrams and drawings to my team mates, useful when designing a piece of code I am going to write.

2. Reading and annotating PDFs (which I send to my device using a command line util called rmapi).

3. General scribbles throughout the day.

4. Book notes which I write, then convert to text using the inbuilt OCR and email to myself.
