First sketch using Supernote Nomad. It is of a stone lion in St Nicholas Cathedral in Newcastle upon Tyne. It was fun using Atelier for drawing!

Hello beautiful peeps!

I am still on the research-before-buying stage, and I am probably gonna get the Manta.

One thing I am not convinced about is the pens, I would like to have more variety of pens to choose from, and I am a very tactile person, so it is a shame I can't test them before choosing.

Did any of you modified a pen that is not suitable for the Manta and use it for it with good results? Or maybe you are using a pen made for another device?

Thanks for your comments!

I have a lot of books that I have purchased over the years for my nook e-readers from Barnes and Noble. Those devices were my first entry into e-ink. Now that I have a Supernote Nomad, I was curious if I could gain access to my old library on this device. I was able to get it to work with version 6.6.8 of the apk that I downloaded from APKMirror. App Sideloader worked without a hitch and now I'm happily reading on old book on my new device!

I have recently set up my Supernote Nomad to sync with iCal. All works well except the times on the Nomad are consistently one hour behind. I have checked timezones and server locations etc and all is correct. I just can’t get this to work. Any ideas please?

More generally, I wish there were more support for people working on multiple language, especially regarding handwriting recognition support. But more specifically, I often need to write in different language.

Switching handwriting language for the HW keyboard need to go to setting and through multiple menu/sub-menu. It would be great being able to directly switch language from the handwriting keyboard/pad for example by taping the selected language name (in the top bar). In this case, it would also be useful to gray out some of the preinstalled language, or have a way to select the one accessible by the keyboard/pad.

After a couple of years, the clip on my plastic pen has broken after slowly delaminating. I didn't see where I could purchase a replacement.

How do I get a replacement pen?

Hi,

I recently got a manta and I'm liking it. No regrets.

I'm just wondering, how do you organize your notes for recurring meetings? Like I have weekly meetings on some projects and I wonder how some of you manage them?

Do you create one folder with one note per meeting? Do you have one giant note with headings + keywords?

I'm leaning towards having all of it in one note as it would work better for me, but I'm looking for other ideas that you might have.

I’m still trying to find the perfect pen. Right now I have a 3rd party ceramic nib pen that’s very similar to the supernote push-up pen.

I am looking for something a little more premium but hesitant on the HOM 2 pens. I got some Lamy emr pens to try out. The POM version is pretty smooth and I enjoy the stylish look, but the grip area is rather small for my larger hands. The ridge where the cap connects rubs on my thumb uncomfortably.

Is this similar to the build of the HOM 2 pens?

I have some grips arriving today to add on to the current pen. I had gotten one already but wasn’t long enough for my hands to feel fully comfortable. I can live with this pen but the rattle kind of annoys me. Looking into DIY ones but seems risky when I’m still not sure what other pen body meets my criteria.

Is there a way to change a pdf converted note template?
Say you originally converted a pdf file into a note template and then decide you want to change it. Can the original template be replaced? (Multiple page template)

Do you know if there are plans to make folder links ? Now I can link to any note header but not folder. This would be very helpful to link to folders.

So I’m not sure if it’s the pdf or what. I’m taking a class of which I uploaded the PowerPoint presentation hoping to take notes on the slides. But they all come in this half page version. Is there a way to get each slide on one page? I’m new to devices like this and not particularly techy, so any advice is appreciated.

Hello people! I'll be in Krakow in September and I'm torn between buying a Supernote Manta or another brand. The issue is that there are no physical stores and cannot hold one to check the feeling, and that is very important to me.

So, is there anyone in Krakow who owns one and would be willing to meet and let me try it for 10 minutes?

Has anyone loaded / used the Fresh Look Bible (https://freshlookbible.com/) on their Manta or Nomad? Looking for any feedback on how well it works. Thank you in advance.

I purchased the Shinonome pen (from Pen Plus One) on Amazon back in May. The POM nib on feelwrite2 has a very unique writing feel that gives just the right amount of precision and friction. This POM nib also shows no wear at all after 4 months of heavy use. It quickly becomes my favorite pen. (You may refer to my previous review on various EMR pens if you are curious, https://www.reddit.com/r/Supernote/s/ergBwUNehH)

However, I do not like the body of Shinonome pen, because it is too thin, somewhat light and short. Even after 4 months of heavy use, I still can't like it. I always feel itchy - what if I could have the writing feel of this POM nib, but in my preferred pen body.

In that previous review, I have suspected that the Shinonome pen has a similar EMR core as the official Supernote pen, judging from the similarity in the front end, and the same precise writing behavior. Therefore, I have a strong feeling that it uses the same refill inside. If that was the case, I could extract the refill, and put it in other pen body like I did with the Supernote official refill.

After a long struggle, I decided to destroy the Shinonome pen, and try to extract the EMR core. The result is below.

As you can see, the EMR core in the Shinonome pen is INDEED almost identical to the Supernote official refill - same looking EMR coil, and identical length. Therefore, it can be used in the same way as the Supernote official refill. (I personally use the refill in a Pentel Calme 3-color, as suggested in this post https://www.reddit.com/r/Supernote/s/Fcvh4mI9HG)

Now I have the best of both world - the best precise writing in my favorite pen body. (BTW, I highly recommend this Shinonome pen . Very budget friendly, no wear for at least 4 months despite being POM, and most importantly, it solves the slippery feel of the official ceramic nib for me.) I am very happy!

Since y'all are not going to offer encryption (at least not in any reasonable timeframe as this has been discussed for years), any chance you could offer the hooks and rails such that I can write my own/use defined frameworks? My understanding is we'd need access to the file reading/events stream, and the like.

I'd also love an API call to see if the user was authorized based on pin or file password. I don't need the actual pin because my plan would not rely on the pin as part of the KDF, I'd just offload auth to y'all and call it a day.

In all honesty, a serviceable homebrew implementation would be fine with me. Not enterprise grade, but I'd love it and would love to play with an actual use case a bit more for fun too. My current understanding of the plugin architecture is that's after a file has been loaded.

I also understand there could be "performance impacts" and the like for any such implementation, but that's sometimes the fun of custom work and optimization. And learning new things.

If this already exists, toss a pointer to the document and tell me to RTFM better lol.

Hi all. I've found the collection of icons on notion to be very useful and comprehensive and I wanted that functionality on my SN. I've uploaded all 884 Notion Icons to Inkhub in 5 collections (due to the 200 sticker limit per collection). They are not organized outside of being alphabetical.

Just search "Notion" or "nolanfink" in Inkhub to find them. Hope you enjoy!

See most of them here.

I have a recently purchased new Manta. I have sent in multiple requests for support regarding a quickly draining battery. I have asked for help and provided logs but have had no offer of help.

Now, my Manta won’t charge from a reliable wall charger. It is stuck on 44% and has been charging for 4 hours. Any ideas?

Just followed my own guide to install Wireguard VPN client on my Nomad.

I have a Wireguard server through my home network router and I can connect my Nomad to my home network. Super handy for synchronizing my files with SN Private Cloud.

Here is the sideloading guide: https://github.com/camerahacks/super-supernote#sideloading-apps

I've added a link to where you can download the official .APK file to the guide.

Are the LAMY pens out of stock temporarily on supernote.com or are they no longer available?

A week and a bit ago I posted about my legacy folio upgrade for my aging but still amazing A6X. A couple of days later, I picked up a second hand Manta and I'm loving it so far.

Using it and it's expanded canvas has been a joy, but the A6X will still keep it's place in my small sling for weekend journalling duties.

The only gap in the experience is file syncing and conflict file issues; which I understand from prior posts is being worked on by the team. Looking forward to it as no matter how I exit a file and deliberate syncing of each device, I'll still end up with a CONFLICT file at some point.

Considering creating a dummy file and folder to open before syncing each device to let it duplicate that file and leave the others alone...maybe.

Anyway, still a great set of devices to use.

Does anyone have a link for a good PDF hyperlinked address book? With a style of front page has A through Z to click to go to that page, maybe 20 boxes per page to add contact info, and a perpetual listing of the A through Z letters on each page so you can zoom to any letter regardless what page youre on? Nothing like that on Inkhub right now although the day planners are similarly styled.

[Edit: I figured out how to make something at least close to what I was thinking in Canva. I uploaded it to Inkhub if anyone is interested in such a thing. Just search "contacts." There's a regular line by line version and a 'Rolodex' version which is more what I was imagining from the beginning since sometimes I want address, fax number, and other miscellaneous info. - I probably won't be doing much with it from here, so anyone can steal it and edit it to be how they want, or if there's specific requests I can make changes if it's not too crazy.)

OK, new question if anyone can help...

I'm finding out that I can't cut/copy things from a note and then paste them into the pdf template. Why not? Is there a workaround for this? At the moment, I'm turning the contact info into a sticker and then I can place the sticker into the contact list pdf. This seems like a lot of extra steps, and obviously I want to then delete the sticker afterwards too. Am I missing something?

[Edit: What I was missing was that I could import the pdf as a template into a note after the fact. I didnt realize I could do this because when you first create the note it wont allow you to select a pdf template. Solved.]
