Worth pointing out in particular, especially to those who feel the reMarkable is ridiculously restricted, is the fact that it offers layers for annotations/drawing. If you stop and think about it, this is a very powerful feature, even if you’re not interested in the tablet for purely artistic reasons.
The downside? It’s all in shades of grey… (but not just 50 ;-))

I guess this is the time to admit that I am the humble owner of a reMarkable tablet since November. My verdict:
- What it does (notetaking), it does very well.
- I previously used a Galaxy Note tablet for notetaking; after using the reMarkable I’m not going back.
- The price is indeed eye-watering for a single-function device, but to my defence (towards my more thrifty self) I am becoming increasingly sensitive to active screens; I believe I literally cannot think in front of a bright monitor anymore (actually, I’m not so sure I ever could)

P.S. With reMarkable, I no longer carry a paper notebook around, but I do carry a paper day-per-page calendar along with the Post-Its of the day…

Alexander, did you try the Android app named Write by StylusLabs ? It is a real word processor for handwriting:

I’ve been in contact with the author and coming “soon” is combined handwriting + keyboard entries.
It is the only such app that I know of that uses the SVG standard ink format.
When combined with a sync service (such as dropbox), the content is visible on all devices and can be edited on Android and Windows
Details here:

Exactly. I have tried to use Gingko for this, and even though I love working in Gingko, the content of each card can expand infinitely, and you can keep adding infinite number of cards, so in the end it all turns into clutter and divides attention (despite the fact that it’s possible to zoom into a single card, but still).
