Product Review: reMarkable Paper Pro vs. Supernote Manta
I just picked Supernote over reMarkable for my digital paper solution. In fact, I actually wanted to like reMarkable more than did. Truly. I liked their larger size, wider drawing options, the continuous scroll feature, and the keyboard folio. But four strikes against reMarkable tipped the scales for me in favor of Supernote.
Reading the timeless poetry of Emerson on my Kindle is not a "distraction," nor is having a dictionary or thesaurus on hand. I would've needed to revert to a glowing screen for those features (which throws me back into the world of distraction).
Having to "think about” nib replacements is a distraction.
Having to "think about” another subscription is a distraction.
I had a terrible unboxing experience with reMarkable. It was rife with glitches and I spent hours in support calls before I got it working, which amounted to a bad first impression.
Supernote is already changing my workflow for the better. It’s a planner, kindle reader, email hub, word processor, a helluva sketchpad—all without the eerie glow. My sketch below is rough and a bit disproportionate due to learning a digital paper medium, but the good folks at Supernote helped me bring to life a character from my upcoming novel.
Justine is furbished enigma.
Justine Holliday (with two Ls) is Chief of Staff to the most powerful megapastor in the country. She gives a neutral luxe chill, hits Pilates like she's got a grievance, and splurges in eclectic fashion. Her intentions and moral scruples are terrifyingly ambiguous.
