reMarkable Essentials Bundle – Gray | reMarkable 2 Paper Tablet | Includes Black and White 10.3” Writing Tablet, Marker Plus Pen with Eraser, Book Folio Cover in Gray Weave

Game changer! I have had this for a handful of months now. My only regret was not buying the color version. If you are like me and remember things better when you write them down, this is for you! I use this more than my phone at work. I can put PDF's onto this and mark them up. Get the erasable pen. The case is okay but I plan to buy an upgraded leather one for work that has a strap to keep the pen attached. You can search your hand written notes for key words. You can tag notes, make folders to organize, tons of templates (i use the notebooks mostly). I love the different pen options. The highlight is great. It shows up gray but when you look on your PC, it's color (this is my black and white version). The pen tip is fine. I have not had to switch it yet. I was told to buy the metal tips but I love the one it comes with. Feel like i am writing on paper. I will never have a stack of notebooks around again. I no longer use post it notes. I am so well organized. Force yourself to use it for a day or two and you will learn to love it! All of the folks in my industry that use it, love theirs. I am starting to see them more and more. My local IBEW hall uses them as well and they all love them. Get a case that protects the pen if you think you will lose it. Best investment for work I have made! Worst every penny and then some.

The reMarkable 2 has been a game-changer for me, especially since I wasn’t familiar with paper tablets until recently. My journey started with the Kindle Scribe, which I initially bought for reading on a larger screen. Once I discovered the joy of note-taking on an E-Ink tablet, I delved deeper into the market and stumbled across the reMarkable 2, which is often hailed as one of the best in its category. That’s when I decided to give it a try, seeking a more refined, “paper-like” experience compared to the Kindle Scribe. Now, I’m absolutely hooked on the reMarkable 2, carrying it with me everywhere. The device fits seamlessly into my daily routine, but whenever colleagues ask about it, I give them this disclaimer: “I love it, but I’d never recommend it lightly.” The key here is that anyone interested in the reMarkable 2 must first do their homework. It’s essential to understand its specific use case and the design philosophy behind it. Unlike many gadgets that try to do everything fairly well, the reMarkable 2 is a specialized tool that excels at one thing—replicating the paper notebook experience digitally. For that, it’s nearly unparalleled. However, this specialization comes with trade-offs. The reMarkable 2 is highly focused and minimalist. It lacks many features that modern tablet users might take for granted: there’s no email access, no web browser, no third-party apps, and you won’t find social media or even a backlight for nighttime use. For some, this can feel like a “dumbed-down” tablet, especially given that at its price point, you could opt for an iPad or other E Ink tablets with more functionality. If you’re looking for a multi-purpose device, this might seem limiting and even frustrating. That said, the writing experience on the reMarkable 2 is where it shines. The textured E-Ink display combined with the Marker offers a tactile feel that closely mimics writing on paper. With pressure sensitivity and multiple pen options, it’s incredibly responsive, making it perfect for note-taking, sketching, and journaling. However, it may fall short for artists looking for a more versatile tool since the drawing features are limited compared to more advanced tablets. Where the reMarkable 2 does offer some digital conveniences is in its cloud syncing capabilities. With their Connect service (which costs $3/month after a free trial), you can sync your notes across devices, giving you access to your notebooks on your phone or computer. For me, this feature justifies the subscription cost because it adds an extra layer of productivity, allowing me to keep my notes organized and accessible anytime, anywhere. Ultimately, the reMarkable 2 is ideal for people who are looking for a distraction-free, premium notebook replacement that delivers on its promise of a paper-like experience. It’s elegant, well-built, and high quality, but it’s also designed for a very specific use case. If you’re someone who wants more functionality or expects a typical tablet experience, there are better alternatives in both the tablet and E-Ink markets. But if you value simplicity, focus, and a top-tier writing experience, the reMarkable 2 is the way to go. I personally use it daily and even bought one for my wife. But I also recognize that for some, it may not hit the mark. As I always say, do your research before committing to it.

Great product and so glad I waited for it. Just after purchased, the new version came out. LOL still a great purchase

I wanted to work with this before writing a review. I've been using it for 5 months now and can say, unequivocally, that this is a great product. Writing experience As a pen aficionado, I've been surprised at how much I enjoy writing with this. I have the pen that erases. I'm on my second pen tip and use it almost daily, so it has pretty good 'tip life'. The writing experience is really nice. Took no adjustment on my part. The Platform It's easy to navigate. Easy to categorize and name documents and organize folders. I don't use the handwriting to text feature bc my writing doesn't translate well, so I can't comment on that. However, where before I was carrying around multiple notebooks for different areas of my life, now I have just one. One! And it contains my work notes, my construction notes, my volunteer work notes, PDFs that I've downloaded. Drawings I've made. It's so efficient. And I've never run out of battery life. Summary I was concerned that I wouldn't take to this given my pen/paper fondness, but the Remarkable has truly delivered. This is not cheap, but well worth the investment thus far. I recommend it.

I was in a meeting with a new vendor and he had a remarkable. I was intrigued. I'm old school and prefer to write than type. I'm able to retain the information better for some reason. I work in the construction industry and often get calls from job sites where I need to jot down information quickly. Remarkable had replaced the scraps of paper, and endless notebooks. All my notes can now be kept in one place, easily accessible. I'm a month into it, still on a learning curve, but overall really liking it. Pros: Easily accessible. Always there. Calls come in, notes jotted down on one device so retrieval of information is a snap. The battery life is ridiculously long. I've only charged it once since I began using it and it still had about 25% power available when I did. Sleek and light, easily transportable. Time saving as I'm no longer going through a pile of notebooks to find something. Lots of options for writing style and thickness. Other cool options also as you get a feel for it like circling a section to erase in a nano second. Cons: I'm left handed and because we lefty's curve our hand when we write, my hand somehow hits the screen in a way that sets off features. I'm working on trying to fix this, there may be a feature that I just haven't learned yet to correct this. My only reason for the 4 stars. Overall: Very easy to use. Huge time saver. Purchased a second for boss.

I love this! I was hesitant on the price. However, I take a lot of notes with my college courses. I can't begin to describe how handy it is to have all of my notes in one place. Instead of using multiple paper notebooks, I have this! The ability to organize and create something that you want - is incomparable to a paper notebook. The writing ability is off the charts. When you're writing on paper and you mess up, you scribble it out. With this you have the Erase option! You can create documents and write notes with whichever way fits you best. The screen size is great, it's not the size of a piece of paper but it doesn't matter in this case. It definitely has a little bit of weight to it too! I thought it would be lighter than it is, but the weight makes it easier to hold it while writing. The accuracy of the pen to the tablet is on point, I cannot find any complaints about this product. The only thing I can say is I am so glad I made this choice!!!

New college student here and I wanted to reduce the amount of paper I was about to use, and this has been absolutely amazing. I will say I should have gone with the colored version (would have made my highlighted materials much easier to see), with the writing pen that comes with this notebook bundle I recommend getting extra tips for it if you write a lot because the tips get worn down and dull (one has lasted me about 3 to 4 months at a time and that's stretching it through a dull worn down tip and only changing it once it stops registering on the tablet- I do not recommend waiting that long lol -) All in all, this tablet has been amazing, well worth the money I put into it.

Update after 60 days (about daily use) I am on the 7th "tip" (ran out of tips to replace). Pencil starts to act like a ghost (see video). It writes without even touching the pad. Sounds magical - except that it makes writing hell. Because everything you write is just one continuous line, unless you completely lift your hands away from the ped. Everything turns into the gibberish. The tech support online documentation? - reset the pad and replace the tip, again!! So I am on my second pen, and I am on the 8th tip. All in just 60 days. Less than 30 days of light use, the eraser broke off. How? No idea. Hardly use the eraser. The screen is extremely dim - only usable in perfect lighting conditions. But the worst part - the thing I need it to do the most (vs. an actual paper notebook) is to be able to convert to text and then upload/download with a computer or a cloud (google drive). It's labor-intensive and clumsy. But once you made something into a pdf (when you upload, that's what happens), then future edits to the pdf can no longer be converted to text?! So the notebook is essentially un-updateable. How this device has had raving reviews on amazon and on youtube is incomprehensible to me. Notability on Ipad is so much better - minus the "feel" of book.

Muy buena herramienta de trabajo

Tolles Produkt und wenig Ablenkung echtes Schreibgefühl

Topproduct! Geen spijt van mijn aankoop :)

Je ne regrette absolument pas mon achat. Je recherchais une tablette pour remplacer mon cahier de suivi chantier et client… autre que tablette surface ou iPad qui me dérange sans cesse dans mon travail et qui est trop compliqué pour du travail quotidien… mais la c’est au delà de mes attentes. Je me suis créer mes fiche PDF qui me servent de base pour mes appels et ou devis et schéma électrique… elle me suis partout et vraiment l’autonomie est extra…. De plus bien mieux lisible que les tablettes classiques surtout pour de la bureautique…. L’option iCloud via un abonnement mais qui est vraiment très accessible… est un véritable plus… tout mes dossiers sont là, la connectivité est fastidieuse et quasi instantanée….. je recommande vraiment les yeux fermés et malgré sont prix qui peut freiné Le stylet est superbe et se tient bien dans la main, le côté gomme est magique…. Il m’a fallut prendre ma tablette et ses fonctionnalités en main… mais cela a été vraiment rapide…. J’aurais par contre aimer trouver un étui plus pro, plus chantier et surtout une languette pour laisser mon stylet bien accroché lors de mes transports. Malgré qu’il est magnétique…. Mais ce n’est qu’un détail. Je recommande vivement à qui recherche une feuille numérique pour remplacer son papier…
