   @paul having to retype things is my least favorite part about writing stuff on a remarkable.
   
   there is numen or nerd-dictation, but then i have to spend time fixing the dictation. though might still be less than a full retype. idk.

     According to my tasks page [0], it took me 10 hours to carefully read the MDN CSS module on CSS building blocks while taking handwritten notes [1]. I started reading it back in December, and finished late February. Not exactly what I'd call an exciting read.

     It took another 3.5 hours to transcribe those notes [2]. ~33% time overhead seems to be pretty constant for transcription I've noticed.

     I'm still plugging away at Designing Data Intensive Applications by Martin Kleppman, also taking handwritten notes [3][4]. Currently 27 hours in and I've just hit the halfway point. It's a big book crammed with stuff.
