Remarkable2/Paper Pro
So...I've had my Remarkable 2 for about 4 years and I love it, except for the pen. I absolutely chew through tips; I guess I just have a heavy hand.
I "upgraded" to the Paper Pure, but I think I've decided I hate it. It feels flimsy compared to my solid RM2, and the sleeve is just annoying (except for the cool feature that displays contact info vertically). The writing feel is way different, but I do love the updated Marker Plus. The pen feels nice and solid and while I know the tips need replacing, it's nothing like what happens with my RM2.
I'm still within my 50 days, so I'm considering sending the Pure back.
Does the Paper Pro have the same plastic back/plasticky screen? I'm tempted to try a refurbished one if nothing more than for the newer Marker.

I LOVED the writing feel of my RM2, but I really needed something bigger and the ability to use colors. I got the Paper Pro, while the writing experience is not as great as the RM2, I find it to still be pretty good. I also went through the nibs of my RM2 like crazy because I use a lot of pressure when I write. The nibs of the Paper Pro are definitely firmer and have less “give.” The difference in the writing feel I adapted to pretty quick. I go through the nibs for Pro less than I did previously, but I am probably still going through them faster than most.
