I bricked then recovered my reMarkable 2

My primary use-case right now is storyboarding. The RM2 has dozens of templates (notebook paper, grid paper, etc.) and three of them are storyboard templates at various sizes. I haven't been able to adjust to Wacoms etc., but drawing on the RM2's display feels "right." I can zip through drawing up storyboards and then email the PDF immediately to collaborators. I can choose to send individual pages as PNGs, too. Only small downside is lack of color, but that's the eInk breaks.

I also use it for annotating and displaying PDFs as well as sheet music when practicing piano. I don't read many eBooks on it because I have a smaller Kindle which has a light, making it more versatile when I'm in the mood for reading.

Hope this helps!

It does— thanks. Storyboarding is about the level of graphic capability I'd need. I keep trying to adjust to using my iPad Pro w/Apple Pencil 2. It's an incredibly capable set of tools, but I just can't get comfortable with it.

I can't speak to iPads but the RM2 really almost feels like paper, it's very close to having a real sketchpad.

The iPads feel like... drawing on glass with a plastic pencil. The expressiveness, pressure sensitivity, and tools are all incredible... but it's definitely in the drawing tablet realm of mark making rather than the paper realm of mark making.
