    I’ve acquired my rM2 during its preorder campaign and have used it basically daily since, between a couple minutes and altogether an hour or two a day.

    I don’t turn it off. I only really ever use the power button to wake it. On the odd occasion if it hasn’t fallen asleep before I have to bag it when I’m on the move, I’ll tap the power button to make it sleep. That’s really rare though because usually it will have already gone to sleep by itself, or I’ll just close the folio and trust that no touch interactions will occur.

    I also don’t proactively charge it, like I would my phone, my watch or other light-emitting devices. I might turn it on and see on the file screen that it’s somewhere under 40% on a given day, and if I remember, I might leave it on a charger before I go to bed. As a result, I really don’t pay any mind to the amount of time between charging; because it lasts so relatively long, charging it is a genuine afterthought.

    If I really think about it, I can probably go more than a week without charging and even then the tablet would have had a day to three in it still. I’m pretty sure during lower activity periods, I could have gone as long as two weeks without thinking to charge it.


  • That said, the web interface at my.remarkable.com/myfiles may work to allow you to upload documents to the device. But again, I advise caution as different organizations have different levels of activity blocking and tracking online and the file movement could be detected as malicious activity performed by your sign-in ID.

    At the web interface, you can see the listing of your files and folders, but not open any of the documents themselves.


  • If you work for a large multinational and they won’t allow you to install a third party app that they haven’t verified and approved, I’m going to assume they also have restrictions on sharing data outside of their network.

    Do not attempt integration of a personal device with your company resources without running it by - at least - your one-up first. You could be playing with your job if you’re caught breaking privacy and data management policy.

    Use your rM like you would any notebook, for taking notes and possibly sending notes into your office environment, but don’t try to sync or taking anything out of your environment without company approval.



  • You need to know yourself here, and unfortunately “can’t get organized with a paper notebook” is a tell. If you’re not organized generally, you need to figure out and be honest with yourself as to whether having a digital version of paper will help you to be more disciplined.

    There is no assistance or automation on the reMarkable platform. It is the digital equivalent of a filing cabinet in which you store ring binders, books and paper print outs. You have to bring the order to the filing cabinet.

    The Tag system is very rudimentary - essentially you apply a text tag or more than one text tag to a document - and you can go to a screen where you can filter for all documents with a specific tag or group of tags. But again, you need to figure out how to make that work for you.

    The one thing that the device would be guaranteed to solve for is having all your notes in one digital place if you use the reMarkable for all of your note-taking. But without a system that you bring to the table, what you risk ending up with is a digital version of clutter.
