As the proud owner of several fancy pens & Pukka notebooks, I was more than dubious about the transition to paperless note taking.

Four weeks in and I am a complete convert. Other than writing out a greetings card, I haven’t picked up a ‘proper’ pen in the last 4 weeks. Here’s why.

The Buying Process

I first discovered reMarkable in an interview. The interviewer held it up and told me it had “changed his note-taking life”. That’s it, I was suitably intrigued.

A quick google or two (and several cleverly targeted social media ads) later I clicked over to remarkable.com and placed my order:

  • the reMarkable 2 tablet (£399)
  • the Marker Plus (£99)
  • the Book Folio in Grey (£99)

The overall cost might seem prohibitive, but by the time you’ve bought a lifetime supply of paper, pens and ink you might actually save a bob or two.

One of the big swings for me was the no-quibble 30-day money back guarantee. I could (almost…) literally try before I buy.

If I didn’t like it, I could send it back.

Express shipping was included, my kit arrived within 3 days.
