It may just be a matter of patience, but if it is used for work or study this inconvenience is a problem today. I really don’t want to back to Remarkable, too expensive and since I tried the new experience with my Paper Pro I ended up disenchanted with the brand. rM Paper Pro was too heavy, too big,

I was skeptical such as yourself - very. But there were a couple or reasons I purchased. No (low) risk long return guarantee. (100 days) Best screen on the market (Carta 1300) and one of the very few at the 10" size (I don't believe Onyx currently makes one although it might soon.) Use of Android OS

tldr; RTFM For those less informed, Google Play installation is an OPTION. Some don't want it, especially since it will consume power in the background and won't use it for more than it's basic installed apps. It took me about 2 minutes to get Play installed and done. I haven't had any issue with no

Not a bot, just a very tired clinician who had spent many hours dictating so brain dumped everything & let Gemini sort it out. Lesson learned. Here's the original unproofed ramble, I was falling asleep towards the end so just didn't have it in me to proofread. Reading it now it doesn't seem too bad,

I think we need a roadmap more than everything. I do not expect them to fully stick it, but a roadmap would be really nice. In terms of hardware, AI paper is superior. but the most important apps, Paper and Learning, are still sluggish. For example, if you compare the performance of lasso tool while

From left to right, Viwoods AiPaper, Viwoods AiReader, M1 iPad Pro 12.9. If I had it to do over again, I would pass on e-Ink devices. Just my personal opinion. I am a gadget geek. So I love to try new gadgets. But for the money I have spent trying e-Ink devices to see if there is an awesome one that

I'm glad you enjoyed it. Since I wrote this review, Viwoods has finally implemented a normal filing system: nothing brilliant, but functional. They have also addressed a few of my other suggestions and concerns, and perhaps most importantly, they are working on device syncing. The main thing still l
