has anyone tried one of those reMarkable e-ink tablets? going to be doing a lot more reading/studying in the coming months and wondering if it's a big step up from doing things on a laptop

primary advantage: it's not a laptop, so I'm less distracted. primary disadvantage: it's not a laptop, so im less capable. other pros and cons too. i like mine a lot, but I barely use it. what are you hoping to do with it?

over the next year i'm going to be doing a lot more study, eg: reading EIPs, learning protocol, auditing too i'm wondering if having an EIP / project's contracts all on a tablet and annotating it will be >>> than reading through it on a laptop and having to contend with all the distractions there

i can't recommend reading/annotating smart contracts on it, but as a physical book-like object that you can sit down with and read long articles, etc. it's been awesome. has a web clipper too, to easily send stuff to it from your computer (poor support on mobile) also annotations/highlights aren't really searchable, so if you need something like that then reMarkable isn't the best bet

this is very helpful, ty leaning towards wanting one, i'm ok with the lack of annotation search, biggest thing is providing a better / less distracting reading experience for when i have to spend hours on something

awesome! i have the reMarkable 2, which is about the size of a normal sheet of paper and B&W. i always wanted something smaller (like A5 notebook size), but the new one with a color screen is larger. the Pro pencil was worth the upgrade (for the eraser), and I liked it at first but ive stopped using the folding Folio (the screen doesn't really scratch and it doubles the thickness).
