Yes Yes Yes! This es EXACTLY why I want to get the ReMarkablePP too! Spent hundreds of hours with tools for notetaking, todo lists, trackers, project management, bookmarks ... tabs, summaries, lists, on and on ... and it´s basically all a waste of time! At the end of the day I always got back to pen and paper and finally, my head gets cleared up, I become more focussed, can remember what I have to do! I am so looking forward to the Remarkable, also love note taking with color too, so it´s definitely the Paper Pro for me. Btw, do you have any videos where you share your way of organizing your files on the Remarkable? Maybe also how you use a calendar (if you do this handwritten?). I am a bit afraid that I lose myself (again haha) in over-complicating things ... Thanks, great content! Cheers & Grüße aus München! Manuel
Hallo Manuel, liebe Grüße zurück. Deine Idee bezüglich File-Organisation und Kalender nehme ich gerne auf. Und vielen Dank für dein Kompliment. :-) Hast du schon eines, bzw. bestellt? LG Alexander
The key point is that one needs to find a way to digest what he/she reads. The way is not necessary to write something with paper, or take handwriting note on eink. Typing note or thoughts on computer is also helpful. Most people are more comfortable with writing is because we adopt the writing from kids. My point is that the digest process is most important factor. The form of digest process is secondary. One can choose their own way to fit their own needs.
Many thanks and I fully agree, this is also what I found to be true for myself. I managed to find 1000 ways to take notes and to collect information. But information without digesting the information just becomes and information swamp and never really reaches your consciousness, it stays "dead data", but nothing I could really remember. Not even thinking of drawing conclusion or actively applying it to real world problems. I see it like this: curating information is like being a librarian. I feel productive in a way, but actually, I have not achieved something useful. And this is why I think about these questions and try to actively address them.
Thanks a lot, so proud to receive this comment from you as one of the greatest Authorities of e-ink devices :-) I have almost watched all your videos (though under my private account where I keep my watch history). Looking forward to your reviews of the upgraded Supernote A5X2 once available, I am very likely not getting it since it's again smaller, and I am not in the lucky position to receive any review units ... My collection is already crazy anyway (says my wife :-). Many thanks and all the best from Vienna!
I agree 100%! You really nailed it. Thanks for your thoughts. I think this is a great usecase where HI (human intelligence) is superior to AI. You can buy tons of tools that digest your whole life for you autamtically and format it for pretty printing, but you get nothing out of it.
I have came to the same conclusion. I would be interesting to learn how you are organising your handwritten notes (Notebooks, sheet, quicksheet ?) For example, if taking notes watching your video, notes from reading an article, etc.
Thanks a lot for your feedback and question. Of course, taking notes while watching my video is a great use case :-) Now more serious: I organize my notes in notebooks by topic, e.g. marketing strategy, RUclips strategy, AI strategy etc. But then I also keep my notes organized per client, such that all relevant info in any call or meeting with a client is added into the same notebook. Quicksheets are also great if you are in a hurry. For me, this is essentially a shortcut to taking a note buried in some folder, without a lot of thought about where it should go. It simply creates a new page. This page can later be moved to any other notebook where it belongs. Also no tagging initially, just a quick and dirty approach of not forgetting something important. In analog analogy (interesting wording ...) it's like a large post-it, just writing down some urgent info, and then later - while reviewing - find the proper location to move it to.
Vielen Dank :-) Mich filme ich mit einer Sony A7CR und einem F1.4 28mm Objektiv, um den Hintergund im Bokeh abzuheben. Die Kamera über dem Schreibtisch ist eine ELP USB-C 4K60 F1.4 webcam mit Zoom. Klappt für mich beides sehr gut. Liebe Grüße zurück :-)
@@Artellico Danke für die ausführliche Antwort! Die Kamera lohnt sich auf jeden Fall, dem Outcome nach zu urteilen :). Bin noch am Hin und Her vom RM2 upzugaden und die Videos machen es nicht leichter. LG!
Hi. I don’t have the paper pro but I’m curious, how seamless is it to switch back and forth between reading a pdf and taking notes? I’m hoping you can do a video on this
I’m interested too - curious about how the experience is to take notes for a pdf file. Not annotating, but writing a note in a new note page while reading the pdf. I know there’s no split page in paper pro, so wonder how the you note taking experience would be. Good content btw!
As it turns out after using the Boox Go 10.3 over the summer (since it came out in July), and then in September the reMPP, the Boox is now only my device for anything where Android is absolutely needed: Readwise, Instapaper, Medium, Substack, Reddit ... And the occasional blog article in the browser. No note-taking at all, and no ebooks, this happens on the reMPP only.
I am going back and forth on this. I believe the biggest drawback of this device is the glass screen. You have the front light which Is useful yes but is not great as an iPad and it compromises everything. Today I had a meeting working from home and while I was taking notes I could not control the angle and the tap tap was so unnatural and noisy and distracting. Even my wife understands that because she has seen my remarkable 1 and she is not a techie person. By putting glass they compromise the weight so no possible to do a 13 device otherwise will be very heavy, completely unnatural writing feeling, slippery and tap tap tap, like my iPad. Also the screen does not have this eink feeling as looking at paper you are looking a glass, is midway between tablet and proper eink device. Aargh!!! By sacrificing the front light (which is nice to have) you can have perfect writing feeling, great visual eink experience and you can have a 13 inch device with 350 grams. You sacrifice a nice to have feature in order Not to have a great device. All that while they are the same guys that did remarkable 1 that had a plastic screen and was great on all those aspects.
I get the complaint from the glass tapping noise but the slippery feeling? From my experience it is not slippery like an ipad, my apple pencil would slide across the screen with zero effort but the rmpp has some resistance similar to a pencil on paper that makes it nice to write with. The glass also is completely matte so I don't understand your complaint about the eink display, it is definitely more clear than a plastic display but that is a good thing because it still has a no glare finish like the rm2. The front light complaint doesn't make sense either because the pen to display distance is lower on the rmpp compared to the rm2 and rm1 despite having a front light so it should be even more paper like. I have not tried the rm2 or rm1 but the specs alone are well documented.
Obviously you cannot compare the naked ipad display with the remarkable pro. You use a paper matte display in the ipad and there is no slippery feeling anymore. Ipad for annotation means you use an aftermarket good paper-like display and a different tip. Now this is even better than having a matte display directly from factory. Because if you have a matte display from factory like remarkable pro or ipad with texture display you are tied on this display alone naked. You cannot put another protector on top of the matte display. If you put matte again will be so fuzzy. If you put a clear one you loose the benefit of the matte display. Although in ipad the texture display is only for the reflections and does not add anything to writing. So contrary to what you are thinking in ipad the texture display is not good for annotation. Now in remarkable you are married to that display. If it is scratched goodbye. Is better to have texture on the protectors that you can change periodically. The point about the front light is that in order to have it you need a glass in the screen. You cannot use a mobius flexible screen from the eink the company without glass anymore. So you loose all other benefits as light weight, screen writing feeling and also visually better looking text. If you compare remarkable 1 and remarkable pro under a window from an angle (even without the angle) you will see how much superior remarkable 1 eink looks from an eink point of view. A proper eink feeling. If you never looked a mobius eink devise without glass you simply do not know what I am talking about. Remarkable 2 is not such a devise. It has glass. Fujitsu Quaderno is such a devise.
Since I have received numerous questions regarding the "writing experience" I have compared the reMPP with the reM2 and also some other e-ink devices. I have also included the iPad Pro for reference. Spoilering the outcome: the reMPP is great to write on, but different. Far away from the glassy iPad screen (even with paperlike screen protector) but also quite smoother than on the reM2. Somewhere in between and close to writing on real paper with ball pen or ink pen, but not like writing with a pencil. Hope this helps.
I just received my RM Paper Pro. So far I am pleased with it, minus the backlight... I wish RM would give us the option to turn up the backlighting a lot more; even at the detriment of battery life. It is just TOO DIM to work with. I'm going to put the RPM Paper Pro through its paces and see how it goes. So far so good (except the backlighting dimness).

Isn’t it a front light ?
@@MyLifeInTheDesert yes, it’s the light in referring to.
