Nope, I would never made religious jokes for I try extremely hard to be avoid offensive humor ;) On the serious side, yes, the entire King James Bible uploads, reads, and functions quite well on the reMarkable 2 tablet. I enjoy the ability to highlight verses, making notes, and having other eBooks, PDFs, and notebooks with me at all times. I probably carry this tablet with me too often, but it has become part of my daily life and replaced 90% of the paper I used to use nine months ago.

@@PeterHerget I like the reMarkable 2 but would not buy it for the price because of substandard functionality in a number of cases. For example page turning swipe, restriction to the reMarkable cloud... Regarding offensive jokes, this is largely a reaction that one learns to be the 'correct' response to certain actions. Much in the way that some people react to particular remarks with anger. This behaviour is unacceptable especially in its most violent manifestations. If someone makes a bad joke (in your opinion) we have to realise the we are entitled to free speech. We can choose to engage with the person, in which case it should be rational engagement or not and/or simply walk away. There are laws that do govern what people can say but causing offense is not a consideration.

Me too! I check the news weekly in hopes that a reMarkable 3 colour e-ink device is going to be announced.

Thanks for watching Hans! As for your handwriting, yeah... I struggle too.

Thank you and glad you liked my review. I don’t recognize those formats, so I will need to do some research 🔬

WOW and thank you Magdalena! Truly, yours was a great comment. If I were writing a book, yes, I would use the RM2 to write down thoughts, an outline of characters, and other stuff. And then, when came to realistically putting the ink to the paper, I would use an Apple MacBook Air. The OCR (optical character recognition) technology is not quite there when it comes to converted 200 words per page. Now, if your penmanship is superior to mine, sure, you could give it go. In fact, let us try this: 1. my email address is listed under the About section of my KZfaq channel. In your normal handwriting jot down 100 words on a page, scan it at a 300 x 300 DPI (black & white) and then email me the PDF or TIFF image 2. I will then do my best to copy your penmanship style (human font) in the same style on my RM2 3. no swear words, please, for I'll make a video about this for others would love to know too Thank you again and I look forward to creating a VLOG/video to better answer your questions about OCR. Now, as for your USB questions, yeah... I no longer use UBUNTU or Linux OS on my laptops or workstations. However, I have many, many, many geeky friends. I'll ask one of them and connect my RM2 to see what happens. And that will be part 2 of the video I can make for you and the other 7,001 folks that follow me.

Well… the reMarkable is an electronic paper tablet and that is best way to describe it. It automatically synchronizes your notebooks, changes to PDFs, and notes annotated on your eBooks. You could create your own customized to-do list template, but it does not sync with Google Docs, Calendar, and Gmail. It functions really well for journaling, note taking, and reading certain eBooks.

@@PeterHerget Thanks so much, sir. How does the device send emails? I assume you have to register an email account? Also I understand a 2.6 version update comes with a daily organizer of sorts that serves well as a planner. Can you comment on that?

I just checked and my reMarkable 2 is running version 2.8.0.98 and there are the following templates: Blank One Storyboard Two Storyboards Four Storyboards Checklist Dayplanner Weekplanner 1 Weekplanner 2 Weekplanner US

Yep, an inexpensive book light from Barns & Noble or online would be an easy fix 😀

Thank you Andria 😀 Here is a referral link they sent me to allow folks to save $40 and order your reMarkable 2 tablet… remarkable.com/referral/758A-CQCA

​@@PeterHerget Yeah I have just bought the Remarkable 2 with the Pencil Plus and can't wait for it to arrive. And thanks to you I got the £40 discount. Is there anything I should do when it arrives, any app or any good things you can do with it that you have just realised or learnt? Thank you so much.

@@AndriaMrs when you go through the setup it will have you install everything you'll need. You could download the app to your phone and install the app on your computer if you would like :)

My pleasure! I too stay till the very end of the movies and watch the credits.

Thank you for the update Jack and I truly hope you like, and enjoy, using electronic paper. The writing experience while using a tablet I my favorite thus far. I tried the latest Apple iPad again that a friend of mine owns and I still prefer taking notes on my reMarkable 2. Best of luck 👍🤞🙂

@@PeterHerget Thanks! I made the somewhat hefty purchase on the device because it checked off a number of wish list items I have had for almost 25 years. It is the first of such devices that I have purchased so I have no experience with any of the competitors devices. I do hope that they (remarkable) will incorporate some new features soon. I am looking forward to using the device as much as possible.

You, me, and thousands of others too! I would just love to see an integration with either Evernote, Microsoft Office, or even Google Docs later this year. And yes, I wouldn't mind a built-in light source...

Thank you and glad you like my review. I've been writing on reading on my reMarkable this morning for over an hour. Here is a referral link they sent me to allow folks to save $40 and order your reMarkable 2 tablet… remarkable.com/referral/758A-CQCA

Thank you, and you are most welcome 😀👍👍

Thanks for watching

Thank you QueenKattz - not everyone is a fan of my dry, sarcastic humor 🤠

Thank you and glad you liked my review 😀

I used it for nearly 90 minutes today and use it everyday. There was only one or two days I didn’t use it for I was traveling and unplugged from all gadgets and even only wore two watches. I am making another video about the reMarkable and the Kobo Elipsa right now. The video should be public sometime in the next 44 hours or sooner 🥸

I don't miss the backlight anymore.

Kindle e-readers have backlights as well as many other portable devices. Alas, it is not a deal breaker. Do you happen to own a reMarkable tablet, Nook, or an Amazon Kindle?

Thank you and you are welcome. I would imagine that the reMarkable 3 is going to be announced extremely soon 🤞🤞

Yes, you can disable the 20 minute sleep timer so it just stays on. I charge my RM2 about every 6- 11 days depending on use. So, yes, I imagine if you disabled sleep mode and just kept it on it would still easily last a ten-hour day for when you not writing or navigating it is barely using any power.

Are you asking if the font size of a PDF or eBook can be adjusted or a Notebook with text and handwriting combined?

WOW! That is a great idea and great use of links 👍

@@PeterHerget Honestly, I don't know why that wasn't a day one consideration. I'm a bit of a tech junkie, but am probably one of the most vocal critics of tech that only goes half way to it's final form. I bought this today because it's still useful to me as a sketch pad and to save paper (i'm literally surrounded by stacks of paper and notebooks and can't take it anymore!) but I'm also a fan of stuff like OneNote and Hypercard (remember that?) and I get frustrated when only one half of a design is the main consideration. If it's supposed to be a digital notebook, you can also lean into the digital too. And that, I think, is just making hyperlinking a part of the product. It's self contained, so there's not really any need to conform to some other product's standards. I'd be fine if links only work inside the unit and the PC/App side of things ignores it. That's completely okay by me. That said, the ask, from a technical point of view, would likely be a hack at this point and thus probably present a lot of problems on the software development side, but we'll see if the suggestion comes from more than me. Obviously one person asking such a feature is not going to bring about said feature, it'll have to be multiple people asking for hyperlinking for it to get any sort of consideration. As much as I'd like to think my ideas are the best and most important, in reality, that's not the case. :)

Yeah, are there reMarkable hack groups and they have done some cool stuff with the e-ink tablets. I hope the reMarkable company continues to learn, grow, and expand their products. Thank you for your techie comments 👍👍

Thank you 🙏 please use my discount code and save yourself $40.00

@@PeterHerget ohh brilliant! It looks like it's gonna work, thank you ever so much ❤

You are most welcome!

And what is e-ink pads binder?

I tried the Likebook Ares e-reader & e-ink writer and had a horrible experience, went back to my reMarkable 2 tablet. It is a wonderful writing experience. I would hope the many reviews I have posted could speak volumes. I created a playlist so you can easily find them.

@@PeterHerget I'm definitely not done researching and will check out more. Resources like yours have been super helpful no matter what I decide in the end.

Honestly, yes, for it is digital paper, and went through SO many paper notebooks while in college. However, do you need an e-reader as well or are you just looking for something to take notes?

@@PeterHerget mostly for taking notes

Yep, it should work nicely for that. Here is a referral link they sent me to allow folks to save $40 and order your reMarkable 2 tablet… remarkable.com/referral/758A-CQCA

It works well. Of course, it depends on the readability of the penmanship...

@@PeterHerget Ok sounds good. Thank you!

The dislikes are few. Glad you watched the whole video 👍🏻 As for the stylus tip life it is about 3 to 5 weeks depending on how often you write and the pressure used. When my kids use the tablet the stylus tip wears out a tad more quickly. Truth be told… I have gone through four tips over six months. My dislikes are few: 1. No backlight (problem resolved with a nightlight 2. No eBook integration 3. No bookmarks 4. No keywords or tags for the notebooks Hope this helps. I plan to release another follow up video with more questions answered and a durability review after seven months.

@@PeterHerget Thanks for the Answer!

You are most welcome!

I used the DJI OSMO III camera software and it tracked my face automatically.

@@PeterHerget Oh very cool! Thanks! - And it's quite inexpensive too!

The reMarkable is $400 and the OSMO gimbal was only $90

From what I have used and read any notebook created on the reMarkable can have hand writing covered to text. I will try the PDF notes and let you know.

Dear Kevin, I just tried and nope, sorry... I can write, make notes, draw, and highlight on a PDF, yet there is not convert to text option at this time. You can share the page or pages you made notes on quite easily.

Glad you stumbled upon my video 😀 The eBooks discussion is one of much sensitivity for many want and are waiting for reMarkable to integrate with Amazon or Barnes & Noble. However, one cannot buy the reMarkable 2 tablet with the hope of an upgrade... As of right now if you can get an eBook file downloaded to your desktop or smartphone without DRM, then yes, it works, and reads, great on the tablet. We shall all all see what happens later this year as the reMarkable company and their influence continue to grow 🤞🤞

@@PeterHerget Thanks so much for your reply! I was a little bit afraid of that, regarding ebooks ... here in the Netherlands (maybe also international, I'm not sure) they also sell ebooks with a digital watermark (social drm) instead of a full-fledged drm, but I understand that's also incompatible with the Remarkable?

Correct, DRM eBooks don’t have a method to authenticate with the reMarkable tablet for there is no Internet browser.

@@PeterHerget Alright, crystal clear. Thanks for the help :)

There was an update released last night and it is a tiny bit faster. However, yes, you are correct for the reMarkable 2 electronic-ink tablet is not iPad or Android tablet - it is a replacement for paper, paper notebooks, PDFs, some eBooks, and a creative medium for all ages. Glad you enjoyed the RM2 review. If you have any questions, please let me know and I would be happy to answer them in my next video…

@@PeterHerget Yeah, I understand that it can't replace iPad or other tablets - that's kinda why I want the RM2. For work only. Seems so nice to bring it for meetings etc. But, since the RM2s only purpose is to replace pen and paper I would expect it to be faster. But, typical greedy Norwegians...(I'm one myself :P). They should have spent some of the money they used on advertisement on the hardware/software. I will probably end up using your shopping-code to buy one anyways... ha ha

I am going on the newest update of the RM2 (reMarkable 2) running version 2.8.0.98 and all is well, the few issues I had with this special tablet were fixed with the new code. I used it for over two hours this morning reading & writing, and I am reminded of how much I enjoy it. Nope, it is not for everyone, but sure has been great to have less paper in my life. My favorite part is the no-blue-light screen. My eyes are glued to laptops, smartphones, smartwatches, televisions, remotes, fitness trackers, and another tablet that I use from time to time. Yeah, the break the reMarkable electronic ink gives my brain has been a huge, tremendous benefit. Now, I am not sponsored by reMarkable, and I have tried the Apple iPad Pro (newest version), a Likebook Ares e-ink tablet, and I even ordered the newly released Kobo Elipsa tablet. It should be arriving very soon. I wanted to gain more perspective about electronic ink in order to review gadgets honestly and give an educated review to the public.

I agree 100% Going on three years now with my reMarkable 2 tablet.

Yes and yes. You can move the notebooks around, and pages can be moved from one notebook to another. I don't know anything about the leather folio. I've been using the gray clothe folio for the past two years and it has been great. I have had issues with the stylus or reMarkable tablet falling out. I don't typically do drop tests, but it has been accidentally dropped in the case and without the case - all good.

That is a wonderful question Kristine. Let me check on the zoom percentages and I'll get back to you soon.

I got another question too :) - have You tried to use the reMarkable 2 outdoors, and is it sensitive to the sunlight? Does it get errors if it gets hotter being in the sun? And does the battery also react somehow?

More great questions! I used outside during winter, recently in the Palm Springs, CA desert heat, and outside in high altitude under Utah sunshine. As for the viability the reMarkable 2 performs swimmingly for there is nearly zero glare. I have not had any overheating issues. I am going to try more outdoor tests as the weathers warms up here in Utah. This far, nope, no issues noticeable 👍🏻👍🏻😎

Yes, I was just writing in smaller font yesterday with template that had narrow lines. I will feature such tasks in my next video for you!

@@PeterHerget that would be great. That is pretty much the only reason I have been holding back on buying this kind of device. I wouldn't want to spend all that money only to find out you cannot write any smaller than 20mm or something like that.

Good to know and I accept the challenge to write as small as my eyes can handle 😁

@@PeterHerget awesome. Thank you. Then, if it is good enough for me, I'll buy one

Okay, it took me too long to answer your question - visually. Here is the video. I will have a bookmarks/chapters up later today: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aLh3dMRo0Nmzgo0.html

Uh... thanks for the honesty

The new subscription model has many, many, many, many people upset. I pre-ordered my reMarkable 2 tablet last July during the high rate of COVID-19 for I needed something to review and wanted to use less paper. Someone, I was lucky, and reMarkable granted me a free prescription for the next year or so. To be honest though, I don't send emails much from the tablet. I often just send them via the reMarkable app on my phone or laptop. But yes, subscriptions can be upsetting.

Sorry, not at this time. I do believe that suggestion has already been sent to the reMarkable Design Team. It would be quite useful along with bookmarks and the ability to search your hand-written notes.

Wow! Thanks for the quick response. I appreciate that.

You are welcome 🙂 When I am plugged in, yeah, I am really plugged in 🤓 it also helps that I am lucky enough to be testing four smartphones and five smart-wearables this week too.

I just tried and... nope! Sorry, to give you, and others, bad news, I am not able to copy text or images from a PDF. I can make notes, sign PDF docs, and much more though :) I feel the reMarkable 3 will be one awesome tablet - stay tuned...

Aw that sucks. Thanks for checking though! :) I’m thinking of buying remarkable 2 but if the remarkable 3 is coming out soon i’ll probably wait for that. Do you have any idea when it might come out?

It has been nearly one year since the reMarkable 2 launched. I believe the RM2 tablet began shipping in July 2020. Honestly, I would wait until the end of May to see what happens. If anything, as soon as the RM2 is announced eBay and other websites will be flooded with folks selling their RM2 for a great deal for they want to upgrade to the RM3. I am going to keep my reMarkable tablet second edition and give it to my son for his school work and then yes, I plan to upgrade to the new model.

Ahh alright, i’ll definitely wait then! Thanks a lot!

There are already a few tablets with color ink, yet the color ink is just okay at this point. Sony is working on some great features and I hope reMarkable 3 has a color display later in 2021.

The problem with the current colour e-ink technology is that it uses a three-colour filter on top of the monochrome e-ink, so the resolution drops by at least a third when using colour, and it's much darker than an unfiltered screen. Front-lighting can help improve this but has a battery penalty.

Thank you for the pithy, and insightful, perspective. I have heard no rumors from reMarkable about a color-version tablet...

@@PeterHerget Thanks - of course, my reservations about current e-ink technology might not be enough to deter me from 'evaluating' a sample if reMarkable do eventually produce one!

2022 is going to be an awesome year as more companies push the e-ink envelope of technology, ergo, stay tuned...

It sure does! Both Google Drive or Dropbox now! I will have a detailed review about those epic features next week’

That would be a great idea. Perhaps, I could ask reMarkable to sponsor a video...?

@@PeterHerget I don't see why not ;)

Done! I will email reMarkable on Monday and ask them on version 3 and see what their protocols are for sponsorship 😃🤞🤞

@@PeterHerget I'm excited as hell !

Only 7,500 pages. Interesting, I have never heard of that limitation of pages. Where did you find that statistic?

Peter Herget & Gadgets Anonymous , My deep guide. He tested it, it crashed. He was pissed because they say it could hold 100,000 pages.

Good to know! My Deep Guide is pretty good with his testing. I hope a future release fixes that flaw "if" it can be fixed...

About 45 days and then another few weeks after that if I use a nail fail to renew tbe plastic edges. It is all on preference though and how hard your press the styles again tbe screen. I could easily see one plastic nib lasting up to three months or as little as one month depending upon tbe User...

@@PeterHerget It's a bummer the tips don't last too long. I'm pretty sure I'm going to pick this thing up - so I'm definitely going to use the nail file. I also wish it came with the pen with the erasing back end. Esp given its price.

I agree 👍 the stylus should be included

Thanks for the comment. I've tried several angles while writing with the Kindle Scribe Stylus and have not had any issues. I plan to review it again soon and I'll demo "slant writing" to answer your questions and I am sure others have the same curiosity.

You have lovely taste in literature 😚

@@PeterHerget Why thank you sir.

You are... most welcome.

Thanks for watching as much as you did. To answer your question... yes and no. The reMarkable Team made a poor choice when they decided to NOT allow customers to choose their own iCloud for backup options. If you decide not to trust reMarkable to store all of your juicy notes, PDFs, and plethora of eBooks; well, there is another option. You can disable the Wi-Fi and keep your e-paper tablet in airplane mode, connect it weekly to your favorite PC via USB and then push all your personal data to Dropbox, Amazon, Google, or some VPS/server farm in Eastern Oregon or Alaska. That being said, nope, I have had any issues with the data storage via reMarkable🤞

@@PeterHerget Seems like a fair alternative. I increasingly find myself choosing gadgets that will work by themselves to some extend, when the cloud service behind them stop working some day in the future. Hopefully it will be a long while.

Yep! About every six to 14 days I create my own backup of my notebooks 📓 just in cases

I was comparing it to other devices and one lock-up every other month is still a solid device in my opinion. I have had more lock-ups with my iPhone 12😏

Dear Michal, Good Morning, and thanks for watching my review. What size font do you write in and I will do a 100 word test just for you and the other 1,739,999 people that also write in that same size font. My apologies for that thought didn't cross my mind. I normally write small around font size 11 to 13. My guess would be... I was writing in font size 15 or 17 during the video. I appreciate your honesty and look forward to making better reviews.
