Remarkable Tablet support

I'm doing the conversion for now. I wouldn't want to wish someone out of business, so I really hope they make a go of it. If they make it past 5 years, we'll know if their customers really love them and their idea is right. 2 years is very new, but I see a lot of loyalty and a lot of repeat customers. I really love not being distracted by tech when I'm spending time with God. No dinging. No 'vibrant screen glaring', etc. I also like it in meetings and in planning sessions. 

Like a said... long shot. But on the off chance it gains momentum in the coming years, I wanted to add a place for other people to join in all the same. I know it wouldn't make sense now... 

They store edits in layers like a PDF. So maybe someday that software will get smart enough to make it easier to at least transfer the layers back and forth between the two programs. They've made a lot of improvements, so I'm encouraged. I'd really love for the links in the interlinear Greek and Hebrew to transfer over in my conversion to the word doc... those are just extremely convenient for study. But that would be like combining multiple docs together in the export, etc... I'll have to settle for searching on multiple tabs for now or popping open my mobile app briefly and hoping for alerts to be at 'minimum'.

I've had mine 6 months...  I bought it fully intending to send it back. I didn't even buy a case for it at the time and kept most of the materials boxed up ready to go. They give you a risk free trial.

Fast forward 6th months with the newness worn off... and it has become a device I carry with me as MUCH as I carry my phone and I never carry a tablet. 

I use it for marking up text, note taking and journaling. I've tried a tablet. It isn't the same. Until you try it, I can't explain why. I carry it with me because I'm really surprised by how many times I want to mark something up and send it during the course of a day. And how MUCH easier it is to do on this. The syncing process is so smooth, it's faster to import it into the app on my phone, make a change with a pen, sync it and email it back out. Yes, you can do that with a tablet, but this thing is SUPER lightweight.

Despite all my BEST efforts and over a decade of technology that enables you to mark up from a 'glass screen' device, I have NEVER reached for the tech before a plain old paper and pencil. I have worked for tech companies my whole life. Interestingly enough, I've never seen my tech/developer colleagues do it either. White boards are the FIRST thing they put up when they put in their home offices. 

I have heard that some people are 'tactile' learners. I think I'm one of those. If I'm SERIOUS about learning or understanding something, I have a blank sheet and a pen in front of me. I can't think of anything I'm more serious about understanding or learning than God's word. 

Do I wish it integrated more with logos?... absolutely. But just think of it as mobile paper. Rather than carrying different notebooks to my different bible classes, I just have a different folder in there. Rather than carrying my bible, I have a different folder in the device. I can start with a fresh version of a bible book PDF at any time and mark it up specific to some other topic I'm learning. It feels EXACTLY like paper. It's weird because you can choose to write with 'pen' or with 'pencil' using a setting on the device and it actually feels different when you write. Even the difference between a 'sharp pencil' and a 'dull pencil'. I have NO idea how they did that. But it's very cool. 

Since purchase, their software upgrades have been pretty great. Unlike an iPad... The device was out SEVEN years before they did a device upgrade, with every enhancement being delivered via software. I suspect that it will be similar for the second one. There were some things, such as the placement of the buttons, that they couldn't really fix without a new device. The button placement is RIGHT at the bottom, so sometimes my hand accidentally presses it when writing. I am saying this because my biggest complaint right now is not being able to review a document and write in another document at the same time. That's been annoying because I want to look at my handwritten bible notes, and journal based on those. I fully expect this is a software change and not a device change. I've received some GREAT enhancements in the last 6 months since purchase and I fully expect to see more later... that one included. 

yep... I agree... this isn't going to really work with Logos the way I'd love to work with it. But... I'm finding the more I use it that it doesn't have to like I had hoped. I now treat Logos as my 'portable research library' and keep no real 'notating' in it. My Remarkable is my thinking, planning and creating tool. Like a 'notebook'... but on steroids because I can import things I want to note on. Because they both sync to my desktop, when I'm ready to do something more formal, I just bring up both environments and merge what I need.
