   Has anyone tried a reMarkable 2? Curious but don’t really want to drop $600 on a gadget I’m not going to use a lot.

     @timmymac that’s also a consideration

     @mattl Tangentially related - I just ordered a Kindle Scribe. Had a gift card to burn.

     @paul nice. I don’t have any DRM books, just PDF and epub3 files. Considering it over a Kindle Scribe.

     @mattl I've had both the reMarkable 1 and reMarkable 2 since launch (respectively). I use it a *lot*.

     Pros: The writing feels better than any other tablet / eReader. I use it to consume PDFs and sketch out / work through problems.

     Cons: DRM encumbered ebooks can't be read; you have to strip DRM before uploading them to the reMarkable. CLI tool used to be top notch, but the new API is a bit flaky recently.

     • Aaron Williamson ?

     @copiesofcopies is that so you can reuse them from the first model I wonder? I like that there’s a cheaper, non leather case.

     @mattl it kills me that the essential accessories double the cost of the tablet.
