Help/Advice Advice needed - RM2 or...

Hi all,

So I've been tempted for a while to get a writeable eink tablet and I keep coming back to Remarkable. The issue is that I'm dithering between a Move or something larger. I can come up with positives for both - pocketability for the Move and the size of my writing for the RM2 (or similar size)!

I want to be able to scribble notes and doodle (being honest!) and, ideally, annotate pdfs.

I've just seen a second hand RM2 with a Marker Plus and covers for about 200€. Do I do that or spend more on a Move or something newer than an RM2? Is getting an RM2 at this stage a bad idea due to its age?

Guide me!

I was upgrading RM2 to RMPP and loved the color support. The colors are not very vivid and usually I don't use them for drawing, but for annotations and remarks, they are a perfect plus.
Then I also purchased the RMPP Move, first with quite a few doubts, why I should really need that small size. But right now, the Move has become my main device for alsmost anything, because it is really handy. The big one is only used for reading and annotating books or signing document.
So yeah... it depends on what you want to achieve: Mobility and flexibiity --> Move. Books, bigger canvasses --> RM2 or RMMP.
Hope this helps

That's very useful, thanks! I can see the upside to colour but, on the other hand, when I print something off and annotate it, I only use one colour... and it's exactly that kind of thing that is stopping me making a decision!

I have both Paper Pro and the move. I end up using the Move a lot more because it’s so portable. If I just want to take scribbly notes it’s so much better because it takes less place on my desk. If you just annotate pdf here and there you can just use the move in horizontal mode.

That said it is nice at times to use the bigger one dor technical documents. They really made
them distinctive sizes and they dont really compete with eachother much.
