I have work, school, church and personal all on my reMarkable - after 4 years I am carrying around the equivalent of 6 cases of paper…

[@bentsprockettech]

The best part is that it makes it easier to find that one page you're looking for. :)

[@BusinessSuccess-4u]

The best takeaway for me was that my device does not have an issue, but it simply lags sometimes, like when you attempted to show how you can keep scrolling on the current page. Great video. Thank you!

[@bentsprockettech]

Very observant of you. I am learning that the way you flick the page is important as well as trying to make gestures with the marker too close. The device has palm rejection so that when you are using it you do not inadvertently gesture. Most of what you see in the video was caused by me rushing to show you all the features. Now that I've been using it for a bit I don't see the lag the way it is in the video.

Thanks for the update my brother, im a week in myself. Its a game changer. Im a lefty lol. I wish they swiched the button or have screen rotation. I dont like using it plugged in.

Very nice product, greetings from Argentina

[@bentsprockettech]

Hello from the US.

[@comedian2479]

Hey great video! The tip of setting to airplane mode is great 👍 advice.

[@bentsprockettech]

Glad it was helpful.

[@DirtyPlumbus]

Ive been researching this product. The best thing about it is that it's Linux based and hackable. You can drastically improve customization and usability with your own splash screens and custom templates. This can replace just about any style notebook you can think of. Pretty awesome.

[@bentsprockettech]

Very good to know. Thank you for the information. We may have to get another video out on this one.

[@FitblkmanMr]

This is great I have the remarkable 2

[@bentsprockettech]

The community is growing. :)

[@flyleaf2184]

Good video 👍🏻

[@bentsprockettech]

Glad you enjoyed it.

[@joeynumbers33]

Any chance you can record a video showing the screen share in real time. Specifically, I’d like to see how it looks on the laptop while you write on the remarkable screen. I’m curious what someone would see if I use it at a meeting. Does it look laggy or janky for example.

[@bentsprockettech]

I'll try to get a suplemental video on that in a day or two. When you are in your meeting app of choice, what happens is it creates a screen that can be selected within the app. There is no discernible lag that I've noticed.

[@joeynumbers33]

@@bentsprockettech thank you for responding. I’ll be adding notifications so I can see it. A few questions if you can answer in your video, it would be great. 1. Do you need a paid subscription to screen share? 2. Is it possible to cast your screen to your TV? Maybe through AirPlay? 3. Can you use screen share without installing software, via a web app? Thanks very much. I really like your channel, searching for ink tablets got me to your page. They are an interesting niche technology.

[@bentsprockettech]

@joeynumbers33 Here you go. Hope it helps. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKXTp4uga9yBb5Y

[@joeynumbers33]

@@bentsprockettech Thank you so much!

[@bentsprockettech]

1. I don't think you need the subscription for screen share, just WiFi. 2. Not sure about the AirPlay. I do cast to my TV using the laptop app via the TV's native app through WiFi. That works well. 3. You will need the reMarkable app running on your laptop to use screen share. The synced screen is accessed through the laptop app. The web app that uses the USB tether is only for managing the files on the tablet through a web browser style interface.

Hi! Do you guys have any recommandations to solve the problem of charging :( Or is it just me who cannot charge his/hers rM2 :(

[@bentsprockettech]

Was it charging before and stopped charging? The first thing to check is your cable. They do deteriorate over time. 1. Make sure you are charging it with a charger that can supply enough power. 2. Try using the original cable or a fast charging cable that can carry the amperage (all USB-C ables are not the same). 3. Take some canned air and blow out the USB port on the device (yes, I know someone who had lint stuck in there). Hope this helps.

@@bentsprockettech My friend bought it for me from USA 5 days ago and the device is with me since 4 days, he said he charged it from hotel wall USB charger, it was %20 when i got it then i tried everthing and charger doesnt work. It's been frozen since 2 days :(

[@buketerdogan8]

@@bentsprockettechi bought it öne week ago first it charged then it stopped

[@bentsprockettech]

First, try a new cable. Hotel wall charger are bad. I have had bad experiences with hotel chargers. Try a cell phone charger if you have one handy. At least 1.5A.

[@Raskolnikov1705]

Is it just for writing or you can read well with it?

[@bentsprockettech]

You can read well with it. The only thing is that it's not directly connected to a service like the Kindle. I use it to read PDFs and ebooks and it is very clear and easy to read from. The reMarkable can open ePubs and PDFs directly.

[@hayes312]

You should make more videos

[@bentsprockettech]

More videos in general, or more reMarkable videos?

[@user-vl4ex5dr6o]

I would have tried this but thought the scribe had the edge but it's nice seeing ppl enjoy products😊

[@bentsprockettech]

A close friend of mine has the Srcibe. It is also very good. He does a lot of reading. He's connected to Amazon services and it works very well for him. :) The reMarkable more closely gave me the feel of my many notebooks and pens. It was very close between the two though.
