Thank you so much for this. I was reall thinking of getting the Remarkable 2 but only for the eraser and I thought that maybe the new one would have new features. I really really really like the rm1 pen... I love that click on the back... it helps a lot when thinking... popping the back in and out really helps me when I'm composing music and there's one thing that I thought maybe the rm2 would have (that I really miss) is the capacity of adding lines, circles, squares, rectangles, etc... like an "insert geometric forms" to help drawing houses, flowcharts, but that means I'll still have to use a ruler to get those anyway... (and I've also created a quickbook with these geometric forms so when I need them I go back and copy that page or the geometric form I need at that time... but this would definitely be great on the next generation). Meanwhile, I'm FULLY happy with my remarkable... and won't be buying the new one :) Obs. I live in Australia and paid $600 for rm1 and the new one with the cover I was wishing and the pen with eraser is AUD$ 819... so... thanks for helping me save that money!! Cheers, Alice

I just bought the Remarkable 2...I do a lot of writing in legal notepads or just on pieces of paper from the printer. I deal with multiple clients/projects and in the past, my handwritten notes end up getting lost or with no organization and its almost impossible for me to go back to a set of notes to revisit a certain issue or confirm what was said or done previously. I may be a bit behind the times, but had no clue there was even a device like this that existed. I know its a bit of an expensive toy, but if I can keep all my notes organized in one place, each client in a separate folder and being able to convert to text and then upload to my computer, that’s a big win for me.

You do notice that it's a pre-order discount? (euro) It specifically says "LAUNCH OFFER, Pre-order now - save 157€" Which would mean it is 556€ otherwise. Which also seems wrong. The 157€ contain 19€ Express Shipping and €59 for the Marker. It even says "Pre-order today and get a Folio and Marker for free" Both, the Shipping and Marker are free for the reMarkable 1, so why would they cost extra now. I guess it's a marketing technique.

Pol Murillo : No, what he’s saying is that they have a discount for preorders (you will pay less right now). However, on the previous generation, they often ran $100 discounts on the “retail price” ... so even if you don’t preorder, they will most likely run sales periodically.

You can't unconsciously grab/hold it from the bottom edge without the risk of hitting a button because they spread them out along the entire edge.
