The Future of Paper - Supernote Nomad

[@Obsidianxenon]

This is the kind of devices major tech companies SHOULD be bringing out. User-replaceable parts, upgradeable, clean interface. The only thing that would make it better is it being open source.

[@camshand]

Very excited to see what develops with the Linux OS, as this will give the already very passionate community the freedom to tweak everything!

[@Obsidianxenon]

@@camshand Yeah Linux ftw mate

[@gabethecool]

400$ 💀

[@gaboshkaboi6885]

Here is the thing, major tech companies usually try to cater for the majority of consumers while this is a super niche product. Considering how niche it is, the price is pretty hefty for someone who wants to try enter that niche as well so I don't see major tech companies making stuff like that anytime soon

[@softbread1728]

Not really, for $300 you can buy something with way more capabilities lol

[@fynn1202]

We need something like this at school, not iPads

[@camshand]

YES! Minimal distractions 👍

[@butwhytho4858]

Yessss 😭 My FIRST grader has a tablet AND Chromebook in her class. Each kid has one. Guess what else? All the kids are struggling to read and WRITE!

[@dreadowen616]

Yes just hope it's not expensive

[@noodles.dumplings.kimchi2878]

That would be cool along with free digital textbooks.

[@evanbarnes9984]

​​@@butwhytho4858ex teacher here. Most first graders struggle to read and write, that's part of being 6 years old. But for entirely other reasons, I also think they need fewer tablets and computers, especially at younger grades.

[@schoi6148]

As an e-reader user, doodler and writer, KZbin's algorithm led me to this video. I watched this video, debated for two weeks, and then bought it. I won't get it until a month from now because of the shipping backlog, but I don't regret it. I think I watched almost every video about this product while I was trying to decide whether to buy it or not. Out of all of them, this was the one that had the most information and explanation I was looking for. ✨

[@camshand]

That's awesome to hear! I was the same as you when I bought my first Supernote, watched every video on KZbin haha, wasn't that many back then. But it's also why I know as a consumer myself, it's important to cover the main features people use, and the benefits the limitations of a product like this bring. I've heard they've had overwhelming support for the launch of this product, I hope you enjoy your Nomad once it arrives!

[@x-x_x]

Hi, can you update us? im looking for an eReader and a note taking device

[@schoi6148]

@@x-x_x I use it daily as a diary and an ebook reader. Recently, Remarkable, Onyx, and other companies have come out with new products, so you may want to look for other reviews. I use Supernote perfectly for my purposes, so hearing about new products hasn't motivated me to buy one.

[@aleksandartokin6914]

Super note is what happens when a company works for the users, every decision is made for the wellbeing of the consumer, not the other way around

Are you slow? It’s over $300. This does not cost even one third of that.

I've had one for a couple of months. I LOVE it. It will have a glitch ever now and then, but nothing too painful. It's just a great device.

[@HENRIVICTORIOUS1]

At 500£ there should be 0 glitches. Lol.

3 months into my Nomad A6 it has the dubious honour of a product you have a relationship with. I’ve had a few in life like my Classic Mini Cooper S, a Brompton Bicycle and my VW Westfalia. It’s a love hate thing. You can’t live with it, you can’t live without it. Hoping the next software update sorts out the Irritations as this is a marriage you definitely have to work at.

Can you recharge it?

[@brendalg4]

What's wrong with it?

[@sharpenednoodles]

Thanks for making this. Saw this many months ago, and you pretty much sold me on it. I've had my Nomad for about a month now and it's replaced all my notebooks. Absolutely love it

[@susanclotfelter7247]

GREAT specific demo of this device. I'm going to take the plunge. Seeing it in use made me realize I don't actually need to wait for the bigger A5. The sustainability and repair-ability is key for me. It's how Subarus used to be (and I drove one of those for 19 years and 500,000 miles of commuting and roadtripping. It's still rolling in my neighborhood!)

[@camshand]

I really like the compact nature, fits in more bags! Yes Reparability is an exceptional stand out feature, hopefully we see reparability come back into "fashion" as these smaller companies start to take up sales.

[@somefishhere]

Dualbooting is such a perfect way to do it since not everyone likes an Android e-ink. Seems like a great company!

[@camshand]

Yes will be interesting to see the Linux OS once launched!

[@LV4EVR]

Very impressive. The bit about Amazon basically preventing Kindles from being repaired is a deal breaker, and I WAS on the verge of pulling the trigger on a new one.

[@MG-Makes]

This is literally everything I've wanted in an e-ink device. Fantastic build quality, user repairable, hackable, customizable, simple and clean firmware. Excellent design and review. Currently using a Sony DBT-CB1 which was the closest thing I could find to a 'simple' e-paper device. Will absolutely be getting one of these in the future.

[@KingMinosxxvi]

but it soooooo small

[@redumptious2544]

Love you being honest at the end/highlighting what's great about their products, that you wouldn't have bought it yourself because the product support is great and you don't have to chase expensive hardware upgrades for (major or minor) software changes

[@jespersandberg]

Man I have been waiting for the A5X2 for more than 6 months now, and then you go and do a review of the Nomad, just makes me want it even more. Can't wait and glad to see you enjoy one of the best tech products out there.

[@user-kp2jz3qv2k]

I was waiting for it as well but eventually just bought the nomad and love it. I‘ll see when the A5X2 eventually comes out, I‘ll either buy it and keep both if I‘m gonna be that decadent or sell the nomad. It is quite nice to have a smaller form factor since I can even comfortably make notes standing in a train while holding it in one hand but the bigger one will definitely feel a lot better to use regularly.

[@jjlee196]

I feel like I've been waiting for this product since e-ink screens became a thing. Great run down of the product, features, and the company goals. You my friend have a new subscriber and Supernote has a new customer!

[@CartyCreative]

Absolutely love this. “Drawing a line between consumption and creation” is so perfect. And huge respect to the repairability they provide.

[@theoya]

Thanks for showing off the Supernote on a channel that isn't dedicated to E-ink devices already. I'm a big fan of my A5X and have been endlessly impressed with Ratta's attitude towards their products and how they interact with their customers. I think there are a lot of people that could really find good uses for E-ink tablets who just haven't heard of them or considered them yet.

[@fugixi]

Holy sh..! This is the kind of company I want to support. Everything should be this open and transparent (not the case, the company :P).

[@razrv3lc]

I like these kinds of single purpose devices. In a sea of EVERYTHING trying to do everything and being aimless and not great at anything, it’s nice to have something do one thing well

[@wub6022]

I bought 1 of these on release. Best purchase in ages

[@CasualHerb]

Thanks for the detailed review! I have a reMarkable 2 for over two years now, and I'm always interested in what the competition brings. The main downsides of reMarkable compared to this is: 1) No repairability (or rather very very difficult) 2) Subscription fee 3) The 'straight line' issue you spoke of. I got it without any folio, it's enough that you put it in a backpack with a laptop, that has some magnets. I hope consumers chose Nomad or products like this, that offer easy repairability so that it can be used at least a decade. I'll continue to use my reMarkable since it works well, but if anything were to happen to it, I'll have to consider this.

[@RafaelRomero-t7x]

This video was so awesome that it calmed me down on waiting for the Ax52 to come out... im gonna stay still because this device is incredible. Thank you for showing all these features.

[@LeftyPencil]

Sweet summer child..

[@villegas24]

The philosophy of the company seems to be very healthy.These businesses are the ones that actually are worth supporting

[@mageKnightz]

What I found most impressive is how fast the response rate is. reMarkable 2 is an amazing piece of offline tech that I love writing and sketching on, but it's nowhere near as fast when selecting and dragging stuff around!

[@ShadowDaNet]

I loved this review. I REALLY want to buy this, mostly because your review convinced me that this was the best option for me due to reparability and software. but I "settled" for a used Remarkable 2 I got for a steal. Good condition, spare nibs, and the pen for $200

[@NickHuber]

They should give you a commission, didn’t know this existed till I randomly was recommended your video and I just ordered it five seconds ago

[@MarcV_IndieGameDev]

If my reMarkable breaks, I am looking at this next! What a way to handle a product! 10/10 on that!

[@camshand]

Reparability, no subscriptions, and community lead feature updates is where it's at 💯

[@cottage4145]

I love this company and its mission, especially their commitment to updating older devices. I've grown tired of the constant tech chase and the need to pay for the latest version. This video convinced me to make a purchase. I'm going to buy it now! :)

[@lordtyroxx]

If you have an alumni or student email, you can get a little bit of money off of it. I hope eventually they support an Obsidian app and a browser that has gopher or gemini protocol support- maybe the Lagrange browser?.

[@RxTheHarmacist]

I've been a supernote user for about 3 years now. They don't do discounts, they're not a huge company that can afford to do so. But they do stand behind their products, and the X2 series introduces even more repairability and sustainability practices.

[@lordtyroxx]

@@RxTheHarmacist I mean, I definitely got a discount ($20 off) by verifying my alumni email with them when I got my Nomad a few months ago. Just look for their Student Discount Program.

[@CarolAnneMcFarlane]

I have a Supernote AX2 Nomad Crystal and I love it.

[@A2ZGeek]

I like the concept and even think having less distractions is great but $500 for that is wild! You can get an Ipad for that. I know it's not meant to compete with tablets but how can you not? It's literally a stripped down tablet with an e-ink screen that can't run anything but a notes app and an art app. If This was $300 all in, I think that would be something to consider.

[@CookinBeatloaf]

I think a better comparison is a few years of nice notepads and pens plus good OCR

[@mzmel1]

This is for people who don’t want to write on iPad glass. Even with a matte screen protector and iPad doesn’t touch the experience of writing on an e ink tablet.

[@CookinBeatloaf]

@@mzmel1 after going down this rabbit hole I ended up spending $60 to get some rocketbooks and a pen for my laptop

[@user-kp2jz3qv2k]

It‘s 500$ with the admittedly super expensive folio and pen. I bought mine a couple of days ago for 350$ because I just use no folio at all and have a functional pen already. I just stuff it into a compartment of a bag I have and use it as is. You‘d get an iPad with zero accessories for that price as well and we all know how much apple likes to charge extra for them. I still plan on getting a folio eventually although I think I‘ll diy one.

[@user-kp2jz3qv2k]

Also they added things like sideloading by now and they‘re actually listening to feedback. That‘s what I personally like to pay for although asking 150$ for a basic folio and pen is ridiculous to me as well. It‘s not as ridiculous though as having to pay 8$/month to access google drive like the remarkable does. It‘s not even their service and you pay monthly…

[@camshand]

Fair point, my Wife has her Kindle and then uses her Phone for everything else. I wanted a simple tool that can do everything I need it too, that made it annoying to google things and get distracted. So the ePaper limitations really suit my needs.

[@JD96893]

This is the e-paper device i have been looking for! Brilliant! I love it!

[@loldoctor]

I've found this technology really appealing for years now, as I have problems focusing if I'm taking notes/annotating a document on a PC. It's just too easy to be lazy and over-annotate rather than really thinking about why a sentence or passage stands out to you. I'm sure everyone has had that moment of opening an old file and finding 50% of it highlighted with notes that aren't helpful at all. Handwriting forces you to commit to an annotation, thereby inclining you only to annotate things that are worth more than a "yes" or "agreed" in the margin. That said, I still do all my work on real paper and type up my notes afterwards. I just... I just can't bring myself to commit to purchasing one of these e-ink devices. There are so many things about it that feel just a little off, a little awkward, a little less than what I want. I'm sure you get used to those things and probably you don't even notice them after a while. But eventually I won't have to get used to them because eventually there's going to be a breakthrough in responsiveness or refresh rate. I've been holding out for that breakthrough for at least 10 years. It's going to come soon, I swear. I will say that this device does have a lot of pretty amazing features. The left bar's functionality is really interesting, particularly the select shortcut, and I feel my life will forever be incomplete until I have that handwriting-to-header menu. But above all else, the bracket shortcut at 11:25 is brilliant and almost enough to make me break out my wallet right now. But I won't. I'll keep waiting for that breakthrough. Or retirement. Whichever comes first.

[@dgutie8]

Your Nomad screen looks so bright, is it the lighting?

[@camshand]

Being e-Ink it's like paper, the brighter the lights around you the brighter it'll look. I have bright lights in the studio, but that's just to help the cameras. It looks much like pen on paper in a normal room.

[@anonymous7851]

The algorithm fed me this and I'm glad it did. Currently using the ipad for grad school but always kept my eye on the field for an e-ink device. Remarkable 2 is definitely slicker but missing a lot of the bells and whistles that you're mentioning here. Awesome job going beyond just the surface level stats that most tech reviews do (but not so overwhelming that I got lost)!

[@camshand]

Great it's helped you find what you're after! EInk devices are so vast but from everything I've seen the supernote is the most aligned with its purpose. Appreciate the feedback, it is a constant struggle balancing the tech nerd lingo haha so good to know it landed well 🤙

[@iaina3251]

This looked very cool and was just what I was looking for. Then I saw the price for the base unit, pen and case at around €500, add 20% import tax and handling fees (thanks Brexit) and that's makes it a very lovely but very expensive note taking device. (albeit a really really cool one) Also, does it really not come with any backlighting? I couldn't see any mention of it on the website but that seems a really odd omission for something that looks like it's been expertly thought out and built?

[@TOMMYOOST]

Still WAY to expensive for me to justify making notes, but digitally. Unless these things become around 80-100 euro's i won't be buying one anytime soon.

[@_mishi]

true, I have an ipad but I can also make full digital art, record audio with my notes and sync them and read books in many formats. As much as I want to have a really good single e-ink display, good writing texture device that makes all my writing digital, this ain't it.

For such a device, the price is insane. Maybe they're trying to cover their R&D while expecting small amount of sales for such a niche product, but still. It's maybe worth half of what's they're asking for it.

[@Emma-dh7by]

It's because there's 1 company that holds the patent for e ink currently, so they have a monopoly over the tech that companies like supernote use

Wonder if Color E-ink will ever be in the cards. That would bring it over the top for me as a note taking tool.

[@SimonLYW]

I love the idea of the Supernote software, but I've been waiting for that A4X. The A5X (when it goes on sale) is very tempting.

[@camshand]

It's a fantastic distraction free device, they've done great with making the software minimal and snappy. The new roughly 10" large A5 X2 is expected before March 2024, unsure if a A4X model is to also release? Are you hoping for one larger than the A5 X2?

[@SimonLYW]

@@camshand That's the plan. I read Digital Minimalism by Cal Newport (great book I think you'd enjoy if you haven't already) and went out and bought a notebook. Then a notebook per project. I can be in and out of 8-10 projects at any one time so keeping track of paper notes became hard quickly. I was dead set on getting a Remarkable 2, but after doing some research, I really liked Supernote's software, especially the ability to make headings and tasks out of notes. Before I went head first into buying a new expensive piece of tech I took advantage of Prime day and got a Kindle scribe as a halfway solution to see if I'd actually use an e-ink tablet, and it turns out I do. Looking to make the upgrade now, but I do a lot of sketching and diagramming, so keen for a bigger screen. TL;DR, yup, looking for a bigger screen but really keen to get a Supernote in my hands!

[@stephaneenglish4661]

Well that was the clearest and most balanced review I’ve seen so far. Thanks very much. This is probably the closest I’ve seen to what I was looking for when I first saw eink readers.

[@МаксимШастин-б1в]

Как называется игрушка, которая стоит на столе???

[@ToddDolce]

Only two things holding me back on this. From an artist perspective, (which is why I would want this for my sketching) that screen is too small. Sounds like a 10" model is coming soon so that would be great. But the real killer is the lack of ability to erase at the pixel level. In other words it should allow for me to erase a small fraction of a line rather than the entire line that I just laid down. I don't need an "undo" as much as I would desire a true eraser.

[@camshand]

Ohhhh realise I never showed this, it has a normal eraser, it's on the top menu bar, just isn't a default. The Lamy EMR pen also has a dedicated button to activate the pixel based eraser, which is quite useful for sketching. Keep an eye out for that larger model, I reckon it'll be a hit with Artists.

[@ToddDolce]

@@camshand Perfect!!!! I reached out to them and they indeed confirmed likely a late March release for the larger screened model. And they also confirmed the eraser functionality too. This may be such a great sketchpad solution for me!!!!

[@camshand]

Large is coming soon, should be called the A5 X2 so keep a lookout for that. As for phone sized, i've seen them be popular for reading, but given the supernote is a writing first device it may be a bit limited having a notepad size. Could be interesting though. And yeah colour would be cool but theyre very slow. Having even one colour like red drastically increases the refresh times of the eink display. Great for readers, but for drawing quite tricky. Cool thing is you can export your markup on documents as a red or blue pen when saving as PDF. So on a computer it will stand out more

I like this. Thanks for making this. I was planning on purchasing thr remarkable 2 but this seems better.

How many small form factors do they need. It seems they shelved the work on the A4 size. It's a nice product but it's more of the same.

[@camshand]

not sure what you mean be how many do the need, as the Nomad line is to replace the previous, so there will be a larger A4 size Nomad. www.reddit.com/r/Supernote/comments/1bct7xm/update_on_the_development_of_a5_x2/ They posted an update on their website saying that the great success of the smaller model (shown in this review) has placed great strain on their limited resources but they are still working on releasing the new model.

@@camshand I just saw this: "The A6X and A5X are out of production and not sold new from Ratta Supernote anymore, and since some parts necessary to continue manufacturing these are not available anymore, their successors are the A6X2 Nomad and A5X2". I thought the Nomad was just an additional A6 form factor. I'm pretty sure Supernote will not be producing an A4 size anytime soon. This is the reply I received from Supernote on Facebook when I inquired about the A4X: Supernote George Kountouris Unfortunately, we do not currently have confirmed information about the release date of A4 X.

Man I wish I actually had a use case for this, I would buy it SO fast.

Is there something like this but for drawing, with colors? But with all the restrictions so it's not a tablet.

[@alowsodiumdiet]

you could use focus apps on tablets

It's been a couple years since I've looked into the current market for full color eInk devices like what you're asking about, and the last time I checked, the answer was a firm "no." However, it looks like things have changed and the answer is now "kind of." At the moment, there are two devices that I am finding. One offers a bit more functionality than something like the Supernote or Remarkable tablets, and it's called the Boox Tab Ultra C Pro. The other is the Boox Note Air3. They run Android, and the Tab Ultra Pro has a built-in track pad, seems to come with a folding keyboard and a pen, so that's pretty cool. *But* neither are anywhere close to true color, or even high color, in terms of the color gamut of the display they use. The best display that I have seen on the market for color output has a color gamut of ~60k colors, which means that it should be able to display a 16-bit RGB "high color" image with minimal artifacting. I say minimal artifacting because high color can display ~65,000 different colors. For comparison, almost all computer and phone use 24-bit RGB "true color" displays, which can display over 16,000,000 colors; and internally, applications like Photoshop uses 48-bit RGB "deep color" which can encode over 200,000,000,000,000 colors. But the display of Boox Tab Ultra C Pro and Boox Note Air3 have a color gamut of only 4096 colors; so you would be relatively limited in your available palette for art. But in a few years, I fully expect to see another generation of consumer devices making use of the better high color equivalent displays, if there aren't already any about to roll out.

Wow, this seems amazing. I've personally had a reMarkable 2 for about 2 years at this point, and I absolutely love that thing, but there are some things that I wish it could do. It seems like the Supernote just does all of those things natively. Ie, it's simply awesome. I will certainly look into getting a Supernote instead of the reMarkable 3 (or a replacement 2) in the future when my reMarkable 2 decides to become too much of a nuisance.
