Not really - I will take occasional personal notes / make lists in bed or whatever ... but that is because I have it with me as an ereader.
Once you've logged enough time with the Remarkable as a 'serious' notebook, it is honestly hard to deal with the downgrade in software capabilities. I try again with every new Scribe software update ... but only one so far has helped (the new pen modes and more pressure sensitivity levels)

My biggest issue with the Kindle Scribe is the lack of integration with OneDrive and other services.

Not got much work done this evening. However its getting past work time and I'm thinking about bed time. That alarm will be going off soon enough.

indeed....I use some software for work that has me feeling the same. It started nicely, a couple of decades ago. Now the program has become something of a sole survivor in its market and the price has soared over the years. It's reached the point where they now offer only a subscription.
Unfortunately my team's work files have to be sent back and forth with others, so there's no easy off ramp to another app

A few days ago, I watched a few starlings 'mob' (and follow closely, in a wonderfully carefully choreographed series of movements) a magpie - that had the look of a thug in a gentleman's club, a large, well-fed, debonair, dapper, dinner-jacketed sadist - a couple of days ago; fascinating.

Yes I have a rm2 here that I currently use daily. What questions do you have?

Is annotation on PDF’s good? How about Word files? How’s the zoom in/zoom out in PDF’s?
Can I also send you a PDF of a newspaper (Wall Street Journal) to test? I’d like to know if it’s readable.

If your use case is anything around importing data into the platform or zooming on pdfs, it’s not my cup of tea and slow and jerky. I use the thing really solely as a paper replacement for the stuff I note at work. I like writing with pens on it, that part feels far nicer to me than my iPad.

My division had a 'career discussion' initiative which involved 360 discussions using a 7 page format with multiple choice, short and long comments. I copied to my RM2 and used that to fill things in for my discussion with my manager and to take notes with my folks. It worked great - made life super easy.
As for zoom ... well, this is NOT an iPad! I wouldn't want to depend on having to frequently zoom around.

What's on my mind? Irritating, narcissistic people.

Thanks. It looks like I’ll have to try it. I am
Curious to know if something like the attached file is readable (zoom or not), navigable, and if it’s possible to annotate on it.

Actually, fascinating.
I am currently browsing (researching) for good books - reading reviews of the works that are regarded as solid (and reasonably up to date) histories - which detail the history of the East India Company.
Now, I've already read The Anarchy by William Dalrymple, but am seeking others, and have already placed an order (at my local library) for one that was well regarded by reviewers.

I got one of those as a stalker. Some are not only narcissistic, but totally idiots too.
Well, I can be a master ignorer when I need to. Some just turn dead to me.

The problem - well, one of the problems - with stalkers - yes, once upon a distant time, I also had one such indivdual in my life, whose confidence in his own charms was unfounded and most certainly was not shared, at least, not by me - is that they tend to be rather persistent and extraordinarily tenacious.

Stalkers are incredibly dangerous.
I highly recommend that every woman (*) reads Obsession by John Douglas (creator of the FBI profiling program, writer of Manhunter). It’s a book that might save lives. I know that it helped getting my wife out of a bad case that ended up with a death. Thanks to this book (which I recommended to her) she was able to read and categorize some signs of where things were headed.
I am very, very serious about this issue.
(*) obviously men should read it to, especially if fathers of a daughter. However statistically women are disproportionately affected, hence my recommendation.

I wish someone else could come close to touching Amazon Shipping. I have the item delivered before most other even ship something. Been resisting most ordering now unless I know it will be USPS and fit in the mailbox now because they locked down our Apartment Building doors with fobs now. Have no idea what will happen if they try to deliver too late in the day or on weekends when the doors are locked. Killed Amazon's greatest strength. Could order late afternoon Saturday and have it Sunday morning.

I'll grant you the convenience, (and the celerity of delivery), but, I have come to the conclusion that other considerations also matter, and merit thought.
Thus, for a variety of reasons, I will sacrifice time, and convenience, and instead, choose to support local book stores (and my local library).

Thankfully as far as I know none of these is stalking me, although at times I do wonder about one person.... Basically it is their blatant narcissism which really irritates me.
That is really unfortunate that you've got one as a stalker -- if it is a situation in real life as opposed to on the internet and you are concerned about your mental and physical well-being, don't feel safe in your own home, it might be a good idea to contact your local law enforcement. If it is online, complain to whoever is the owner/administrator of whichever websites where this is occurring.

The problem - and, although my experience (for the most part, with an unpleasant and unexpected coda) occurred over a decade ago, - is that nowadays, this when one has a stalker in one's life - is all too depressingly often a situation that bridges both real life and the online world.
These people are not just delusional (and yes, narcissistic) but are also extraordinarily driven, tenacious, persistent, and astonishingly obsessive, if not downright deranged. And, as @yaxomoxay rightly says, they can become quite dangerous as well.

This is why law enforcement personnel should be contacted if there is any evidence or even an elusive clue, a suggestion of such, that a stalker may be or actually physically is in the immediate vicinity of one's home. And, yes, women -- especially attractive, pretty women -- are far more likely to be stalked than those who are average looking or downright unattractive.

It's online, and I'm not afraid, and haven't been. But sure, it moved up stuff when it started. Why I gave attention to this person at all in the first place. It was unfortunate, but obviously I needed to see what kind of person this was.
We all make mistakes, so we can learn something from it.
But as a VERY experienced meditator, I've just seen this as a practice to evolve my consciousness even more.
That other person, lives from a very conditioned ego-mind, and thinks it's possible to acquire something from me. Which it isn't.
Except to add to their own bad karma.
I wont get into details more then that. But I'm good, no need to worry, thanks for your concerns though ♥️✨
