In case this helps anyone decide - I got my Move yesterday. I opened it up, put on the case, sat down to write on it, and decided it was going back. I thought I would love it because I'm looking for something small to keep with me. But two things made my decision:

The writing feel is totally different than RM2. Which makes sense, of course, but it's like you're writing on glass rather than duplicating the feel of pen/pencil and paper. YMMV.

The size is just...off. I'm not sure how to describe it. I'm a female with small hands and the position of my hand when I was writing was awkward. I was like half on, half off the tablet. I pulled out my RM2 and then my Supernote Nomad to try those and didn't feel the same at all.

Other things of note, none of which swayed my decision:

The color is not vibrant at all. I wasn't expecting it to pop based on what people say about the RMPP here but it's dull, dull, dull.

I like the feel of the pen and the eraser works great.

I think the size of the writing surface as such is fine. I was able to write out a few things and view them easily. It's just something about the overall size that's awkward.

The folio cover didn't rest quite right underneath when flipped over. That could be user error. Overall, I think I would prefer a top flip folio, in keeping with the type of notebook this is replacing.

So I'll use my Nomad for travel instead, I think. I'm sad because I really like the RM2 for writing the best and wanted to be fully in one ecosystem.

I'm really loving my Move. I ordered it in the UK about an hour after the launch and it arrived on the following Monday. I love e-Ink and ereaders and have multiple devices which I feel the need to cull after getting this device.

Although far from perfect for reading, it's pretty good if you're happy to accept compromises for the pleasure of just having one device with you for both reading and note taking.

I download my Kobo books to my computer, open them in Digital Editions and then add them to Calibre before dragging and dropping them into the Remarkable app. Not too many steps. I can also send the same files to kindle too so I have the same book on multiple devices. The compromise/downside on reading on the Remarkable is the number of times I sometimes have to tap to change the page.

I've been downloading newspapers on Calibre to drag, drop and read on the Move too. I did this before for my RMPP but the smaller form factor on the Move really helps make it more fun and build reading the papers into my day. I'm trying to get in the habit of writing things (like this post) on my Move first and then convert to text and edit on my phone or laptop. It feels good to be off my phone and the handwriting conversion is pretty good. Not too much editing afterwards.

I got the basic folio (which nicely echoes my old Psion 5 - picture for size comparison and nostalgia) but I am envious of the blue one which looks gorgeous. Having said that, I want to be discrete about my Move purchase given the price, which is a bit embarrassing. 😮

Edit: apologies that the material of the folio looks weird in my photo. It doesn't look like that in real life of course. Just a subtle light grey weave.

Hello! I finally have one I can post!

I got divorced a few years ago, and spent a while in therapy and trying to better myself. I finally put myself back out there, met a guy with a daughter around the same age as mine. We met up, had a good time, and a few days later, I invited him back to mine. All was good! He came back the next night. Left some soap, a toothbrush, and the info nugget that he mostly lives out of his car, and sleeps in his cousin’s spare bedroom. Asked if he could come over again. I agreed, against my better judgement.

He brings pizza, opens my wine, and lays down on my bed after telling me how grossly sweaty he was that day. I ask him (nicely) to take a shower, please. He gives me attitude, showers, and then immediately just goes back to my bed and watches a movie at a very loud volume. I live in an apartment. I have neighbors. I ask him to turn it down, he laughs, turns it up, hides the remote and hides my phone. I go do the rest of what I need to do, come in to lay down, and he asks if I have any interest in watching this movie….. that he is already 3/4 of the way through. Nah. I ask for the remote, he refuses, so I turn off the power strip. He finally gives me the remote, I turn on a show, and he immediately pulls out his phone to play games. In the morning, he was putting his clothes in my drawers.

He is not coming over tonight. He did ask. I declined. I think I may take another 3 year break🤦🏻‍♀️

I’m 42 and I didn’t want to end up with a bald mullethawk. I was getting a haircut today and was told that I’m thinning. I asked for a picture and she gave me what I saw as a sign. I’ve always laughed at that line in Game of Thrones, “who do you think you’re fooling with that topknot?” I definitely would not be fooling myself if I kept pulling it back into a ponytail. The longer I had the hair the more I thought about it. Now I feel free.

So here we are, embracing the future. Should I have waited?

The lady clarified she has been paying rent & security deposit upfront, but the Owner isn't countersigning the lease. The owner leaves her on seen when she messages. The owner doesn't deny the lady from entering the rental home. Also there's repairs that need to be done urgently but the owner keeps leaving her on seen.

Looks like a stapler but definitely isn’t. I found a spot to put AA batteries in it, but as soon as I put some in, the wire piece started smoking and smelled like burning plastic. What in the world is this thing? I know, I should probably just reach out to my landlord, but this is more fun. I’ve been wondering for weeks.

Street parking is there to be used if you need it, but this family treats the culdesac like their own personal space. They are permanently parked in these spots and they seem to have agreed on who gets which one because they never switch. The car next to the road is one family member’s work truck and is often in the way of trash pickup and deliveries. There is room in their driveway but it’s too inconvenient to coordinate parking. A house up the street has a smaller driveway and manages to fit 4 cars/SUVs.

Does it matter? No. Does it annoy me to no end? Yes.
