The tablet is both input and storage, and has become an extension of my second brain. I have them all on the tablet, in a set of folders with the same organizational structure I use in Nimbus, in my to-do app, on Dropbox, and everywhere else. With the RM2, I initially tried to keep up with copying the PDFs into my second brain (now Nimbus), but I fell behind. Not a fault of the RB, per se, but still, it was an annoyance. So then I would spend 10+ minutes doing this task, at a time when I needed to be getting ready for a meeting. And I would often forget to do it until a notebook was full. RB made that straightforward, but not always easy.

With the RB that meant scanning each page with my phone and making sure they connected with each other into the correct PDF groupings and were sent to EN. My goal is to store everything there, and so ideally, the digital notebook/tablet/writing system is a source of input to it. For years, that was Evernote, but for the last 2, it's been Nimbus. This is an excellent write-up comparing them! A couple of things to add:Ī con (for me) on the RB side, and really for every device I tried, was that I quickly got out of the habit of syncing the information over to my second brain system on my PC. The Rocketbook was the last one I had before switching to the RM2. I went through many, many, many devices of various kinds over a decade or more. That's all I can think of for now, but let me know if you have any specific questions :) But this may affect your experience, best look into it before buying.

I'm unfamiliar with it, since I got the free access (being a pre-order customer). They recently changed to a subscription system called "connect". It is a rather expensive device, so I'm not very comfortable leaving it on the table when I leave the room. There is no color, only grayscale (which is quite limited tbh). logging in through a webpage) will not work because of the RM software. The downside WIFI's that require secondary approval (i.e. While you can absolutely use it without internet, you do need WIFI for uploading to your network (obviously). They do last me months each, but still, it's quite annoying to have a "consumable" on an electronic device (but then again, pens run out of ink too). You have to replace the nibs on the pen. I find myself charging it every other day (though I do use it almost full-time). Though I have no complaints on the battery, with constant use, it still does not last forever. They are constantly updating the software, recently a tie-in was released for onedrive. There's a highlighter function, useful for when you are reading PDF articles. Easier organisation, since you can create folders on the device. Can be used as an e-reader, so no more heavy books in my luggage. (Though, no back-light for dark places, but neither does the Rocketbook) It's e-ink, so readability in sunlight etc on the go is fine. So far, I love the thing! I haven't used any other kind of notebook since. I switched to the RM2 when it came out, because I heard good things from a colleague who had the first one. Since the ink is water-sensitive, any spills WILL affect what you write. You need to erase the ink with water (so keep that in mind for "portability") and DO NOT use the erasers on the back of the pens (actually damages the surface!). You can't leave the ink on the rocketbooks for too long, since it will stain eventually.

Also, it is relatively hard to stay organized with all the PDF's (but that depends on your PC habits of course).

For full reusability, you need to use the phone app so you aren't really as "tech free" as it may seem. What I did not like about the Rocketbook: It's fun to send your documents through e-mail directly from the app. Flipping back and forth between pages (non-digitized) helps keep an overview better than anything digital (at least for me personally). The phone app allows good synchronisation with platforms like dropbox, and you can access PDF's easily that way They work with frixion pens, and they come in lots of fun colors! => perfect for journaling etc. I haven't tried out their panda-planner, but this one seems quite interesting too. , whereas the smaller A5 size is best suited for meetings & carrying around. A few things I found out the bigger size gives more space for things like mind-maps etc. I work in science, and have to travel to Africa a lot, so as you can imagine I make a lot of notes, which can get quite messy on the go.įor the first couple of years, I had a Rocketbook (I had quite a few actually, comparing the different sizes). I can share some of my experiences with both
