I will add, it probably isn't the ideal device to learn how to sketch, because it isn't as expressive via pressure as normal pencils, or able to do different levels of shading, but at least I am trying now.

Having used the RM2 for a month, I would actually say the RM2 comes very close to a regular pencil and is actually more flexible than one, as it comes with additional brushes.

Yes, with a Remarkable you get a several different "tools" (Pen, Pencil, Mechanical Pencil, Marker, Paint Brush etc).

However I think each of these is much less expressive than actually having the Pencil, Marker, Paint brush etc..

These don't provide nearly the versatility, such as levels of shading, that the real tools do, but the convenience of having some form of all of them in one small "pencil" is extremely nice.

If your end goal is to produce good art on paper, I would probably not start here, but for having fun and developing an interest it's been fantastic.

Now that I think about it, maybe it is the "Undo" feature that sells me =)
