There is a gesture for easier page turning, if you want to jump faster into a certain page: you can swipe with one finger from the bottom upwards, there will be something like the timeline in videos, on which you can move (fast) forward or backwards and small previews of each page will appear. This will be much faster than turning >5 pages "manually".
Hello. Thanks for this very educational video. You didn't talk about the different possible gestures (close a document, open the recent list, select a page, cancel an entry ... etc ...) which are very practical during daily use. Maybe another video?
I think they really should add physical/capacitance buttons just like the reMarkable 1. They used to be really handy and for quite a few years (before rm 2 release), the company just refuse to add guestures to the device.
It's a good investment if you know you'll need a device for note taking. If you want to journal more, if you want to plan stuff. If you need to write down your ideas. Remarkable is a great device to do all of that. Of course, paper is the cheaper option and more logical, but just think of all the paper you'll save. Think of the articles you can read. All your documents, in one place. Everything you write automatically shows up on your computer or phone. That's all the reasons I just bought one. The money is steep yes, but if I'm going to have a lot of use cases for it, I think it's worth it. Also they have a return guarantee right now for 100 days so if you don't like it you can return it and get all your money back. So it's actually very low risk in my opinion, maybe you'll like it so much you decide to keep it, haha.
When sending a document to someone else, who does it show as the sender (i.e. the "from:" line)? What does the message look like to the receiver? Thanks for the video!

So, i've noticed when you attempt to erase, you press a lot and hovering overing at the same time. But, for example, on Boox, when erasing, it was enough to simply point to the line or character to erase and press once, and stylus would erase that entire line...Would the same mechanism work here, on RM PP, meaning, if you can try to erase but don't "keep on pressing and hovering overing" on the area you want to erase, but rather press once with the pen on that area, and lift the stylus, would that erase anything?
I may have missed your question, so let me know if that's the case. But Supernote and Boox have erase features where you can erase the stroke, thus you just have to touch the stroke to clear the entire thing. With reMarkable, you can either erase like with an eraser, where only what is touched goes away, or do an area erase where you need to surround everything you intend to remove.
🙋♂Hi Jeffrey! The flashing is totally annoying. At least the highlighter works really well compared to Boox👍. Looking forward for the other videos in the series. Kudos from NYC🗽.
I also own a boox tab ultra c and this device blows it away when it comes to color, so dealing with the flash on full refresh is acceptable, remarkable should just give us the option to refresh the screen when we wish to, that might make it more acceptable for most
The automatic contrast filter in the reMarkable Paper Pro appears to be triggered by the content type and composition on the screen. It works as follows: **Content-Based Adjustment** - The filter can distinguish between text and images on the page. - It boosts contrast specifically for text while leaving images largely unchanged. **Smart Content Rendering** - The device displays content differently depending on the dominant elements on the page. - This adaptive rendering allows the device to present various types of content in the most visually appealing way possible. **Text Enhancement** - When text is detected, the filter darkens it to improve readability. - This is particularly useful for PDFs, which often appear lighter without the filter. **Color Reproduction** - The contrast filter also affects how colors are reproduced on the screen. - With the filter on, color gradients and subtle shades are more accurately represented. ## Impact on User Experience The automatic contrast filter significantly improves the overall user experience: - It enhances readability, especially for text-heavy documents. - It maintains the paper-like quality of the display while providing necessary adjustments for different content types. - The filter helps mitigate common e-ink display issues like ghosting through intelligent solutions.
It works great! I have a Connect account on the desktop reMarkable app. Getting documents downloaded to the device, or sync'd to the cloud where you can see it on the desktop app, is a pretty easy experience. From the desktop app, you can download files to your computer. Getting documents onto your device requires you to select the document in the app, but sync'ing is an automatic process.
Good video, Jeffrey. I noticed you pulled out the annual report for E- Ink. Do you know when their patent on the technology is over? The monopoly they have over the industry makes it so the technology moves slower than any other tech. Took them over a decade to produce the Kaleido 3 and who knows when the 4 is coming out.
That's a complex question beyond my expertise, but let me throw a few considerations out there. First, in the US, patents generally go for 20 years. So, the patent on the original tech is either expired or expiring soon. But there have since been advancements in the tech that would have their own patent clocks, so that has to be considered. Even if we consider patents as a non-issue, there are other barriers to entry here, specifically around the production process. It would take a lot of capital to ramp up a production to rival eink's, and considering the size of the market, that alone might compel other players to not pursue that option. I think we will see a continuation of what we have seen thus far, in that an attack on Eink's market position will likely come from alternate technology (e.g. reflective LCDs) as opposed to straight-on competition. But that's just my guess.
@@jeffreymoss Well put. You're right that the market isn't big enough to invest that much capital. If any company were to be able to compete with E Ink, it would be Amazon. They can make their money out of the books they sell while still growing revenue, much like Steam and their Steam Deck. Though, I doubt it's worth their time considering that E-books are a miniscule part of their business. Here's hoping for a rapid growth in market size, fingers crossed.
Great video! One thing caught my eyes was at 29:57, on text setting you have font selection including Noto fonts (that cover Chinese/Japanese/Korean languages), which I believe you don't on rM2, thus you can't show any CJK pdf. Would you please test if you can show any Japanese PDF on Pro? If it can, that's a great news!
I did a survey where I asked folks if they see black or a really dark blue. A third saw black, but two-thirds saw dark blue. I know in the Bigme Galy, text looked blue but a little bit of dark enhancement seemed to fix that. Maybe reMarkable can add a similar setting.
Jeffrey, the lighting is really uneven in this video. In your other Paper Pro videos the tablet looked too dark. Just my 2 cents here but it might help to get more even lighting.
I might need to increase the white balance. I literally have a light about six inches away glaring onto the device. I did notice that what I was seeing was darker than what was on the camera, so I adjusted the white balance. Perhaps I need to go a little further.
@@jeffreymoss You might want to look into a different type of light. I’m not sure what type of lighting others use, like Kitt or Voja. Their lighting looks good to me.
I figured it out - this option disappears if you activate the auto sleep option above it. I see no reason for that to be the case, so can only think it’s a bug. I am running the latest beta software, perhaps it’s only an issue there?

Great call out. I will demo that in my next video.
Be careful with the video title. There may be a product someday called Remarkable Paper Pro 2
Thank you for this video. Can't wait for mine to arrive 😍
Hey Jeff, always appreciate your visual tours. Such an enjoyable watch. 25:15 Colour also refreshes when using the ruler tool?
Yeah, I guess so. I did the line perfection a few more times, and the result was the same. Strange.
Thank you for this very helpful video. Do you know if there is a function to use the table of contents in PDF where there is one?
That's a great question. In theory, the answer is yes. But I don't have any PDFs with a table of contents to validate that.

Is it required to be have internet connection to simply convert the handwritten note into text on RM PP? Would that work without Internet?
You need an internet connection. I just tried and it game me an error message.
Can you print also directly from the Paper Pro?
Not that I'm aware of.

I'm not surprised to see the feature follow a bit of an algorithm. Thanks for sharing!
can you share the document + sync and how does it work . sync with computer

Really nice! Can it use on-screen keyboard in landscape mode?
Yes, and the keyboard goes the full length of the screen.

Will you compare with Supernote A5X V2 ?
Yes, I plan to review the A5X2 when it comes out.
All i see is a very dark blue, is there no true black on gallery 3?

I figured it out - this option disappears if you activate the auto sleep option above it. I see no reason for that to be the case, so can only think it’s a bug. I am running the latest beta software, perhaps it’s only an issue there?
Swiping pages without turning would drive me insane!
