reMarkable - ePaper tablet..

Post by RiK »

This is really ticking all the boxes for me..



I got an early pre-order in when they were half price (about £300). That's fully refundable right up to when they're ready to ship, so not a big risk really if the final hardware doesn't stack up..

Looks like the iRex DR1000s I had in 2008/9.

The USP really is the response time of the e-ink when writing and the feel of the surface.

I do like the iPad Pro, especially with Apple's own stylus, but it's still slippery, glossy glass and it's just not the same.

I'm really hoping this will be able to take over as my daily notepad of choice.

Looks great. Very tempting.

Worried there will be a big whack on import charges though making expensive even at the rdeuced rate.

Very nice but no lighting of screen... :\
They need the same tech that the paperwhite from amazon has.

That's side-lit isn't it? Both hand and pen would case a shadow.

I don't think so, not from what I've seen of it. The light is sent from the sides but is conducted throughout the screen via flattened optical wiring, diffusing it evenly
accross the whole surface.
And even if there were shadows, it still is necessary for reading in poor light conditions.

Duty & VAT

Looks interesting but wrong size for me (A5 and a bit cheaper then I probably would go for it)

Me too, but:
a) I like to take an impulsive punt on things once in a while
b) There's a 100% refund policy right up to shipping date so if reviews come in looking ropey I have a get out
c) Boys and their toys!

If you have the iPad Pro and pencil, I hear that a matt screen protector is quite convincing.

Epaper just rocks, I could be very happy with an ePaper tablet. Depends on the software options though...

The colour version of e-paper is still nowhere to be seen. Wonder what happened to it ?

Apple didn't spend bazillions developing that awesome screen for people to stick a £1 piece of plastic on an ruin it..

Besides, I don't have an iPad pro ;-)
