I don’t have the Type Folio, but the current implementation of typing is super awkward. You can’t control where the text shows up or how wide it is. You have limited control over the font. You get one style per line. There isn’t a good search from the device. Someday they will probably improve some of these pain points, but I would rather type on my phone or iPad or computer when I need to type. If typing is important to you, check out some video reviews first.

If price is an issue, be patient and watch this group and Facebooks groups and eBay for a deal. You should be able to get a cheaper price within 2-4 weeks. If you want new, use a referral code from the pinned post in this group.

As others have said, the writing experience is excellent. No other tablet matches reMarkable for the writing experience. Low light is an issue, just like writing on paper in that regard. Organization of files is good too. I think this device is a great fit for someone who likes taking paper notes.

Wow. I get way worse. Do you all have WiFi turned off? I have WiFi on and screen on most of the day, and at best I get 2 days. I have to have a security PIN, so not as easy as just hitting the power button.

I was worried about that… I haven’t run into it yet, but I know it’s going to happen. I don’t see any way to turn it off. That would be a great option under the Accessibility settings.

As long as you can live within its limitations, it’s life changing. I agree with the other comment that as long as you are not looking for an iPad with apps and internet, or a nice e-reader, you shouldn’t be disappointed. The reMarkable is geared for WRITING, and creating, and thinking. I find that I can get into a flow state and get so much more done on it, but I’ve learned to stay within the lanes of what it does and avoid what it doesn’t do well.

If you get stuck trying to make it work for you, ask a question here and you’ll get great help!

Totally agree. Unless I can move a text block like PowerPoint, it is unusable to me. Plus I need to be able to change font styles. I so want checkboxes to work for me, but the text is so small it is unreadable to me, even with “Large” selected in Accessibility options. I’m glad to know this before I purchased a Type Folio. Maybe someday…
