Thanks, you just confirmed to me that I want a Remarkable. This looks like it was written by future me.
I need a no-hassle, no-distraction, no-fiddling paper-on-steroids replacement. An iPad just seems like it is too much for this. I like that the Remarkable is "limited" in this respect.
The only thing I would like on there remarkable, which seems to be more of an eink limitation, is the ability to create multiple colored highlights. I find myself drawing a lot of graphs and often need the ability to create different lines that can be distinguished when the graphs get complicated.
But other than that, remarkable has been basically a dream as a replacement for pen and paper (which I didn’t use that often anyways).
