How to Remember What You Read

I’ve heard that the Remarkable does not function well as a reader. Is that true?

This is just subjective, but I use it to read many books and enjoy it. I can scribble / highlight / notetake very easily and find the whole experience quite convenient.

Where did you hear that?

Oh, I was just reading reviews (probably on reddit?), and that seemed to be a consistent opinion. It looks like a really cool device, but I've heard it's a little one-dimensional.

Edit: Looks like your link to the sibling comment is for extracting annotations from pdf. Are most of the books you're reading on remarkable in pdf format instead of epub?

Yeah usually I read in PDF format for this purpose. Not sure but maybe there are alternatives for epub.
