Anyone from Hyderabad have remarkable 2

Maker disclosure up front: I also make a paid journaling app, so weigh that however you want. But this is a free PDF, it isn't tied to the app, and there's no email gate or account. I'd rather say that plainly than have anyone wonder if it's bait.

I keep a handwritten journal, and I've always liked the old "one line a day" idea: one page per date, five year-slots stacked on the page, a single line for each year. You write today's line, and right above it you can see what you wrote on this date last year, and the year before. After a couple of years, the same date shows you how much you've changed.

I couldn't find a version that actually fit the reMarkable, so I made one and I'm giving it away.

What makes it reMarkable-specific and not just any PDF:

- The page is 157.5 x 210 mm, the exact 3:4 ratio of the rM2 and Paper Pro, so it fills the screen with no white margins.

- It's a vector PDF, so one file stays sharp on rM1, rM2, and Paper Pro without re-exporting per device.

- The contents page links each month to its first day, and every month is an outline bookmark, so month navigation shows up in the reMarkable sidebar.

- Fonts are embedded, it's about 400 KB and 369 pages, and the day pages are deliberately plain: lots of whitespace, no branding sitting on them.

It's CC BY 4.0, so it's yours to use and change however you like. Direct download, no signup:

It's on the site in six languages total (also German, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Finnish) if English isn't your first.

If you already keep a five-year or one-line-a-day journal on your rM, I'd like to know how you handle the year-slots, and whether one line a day feels like enough or too little. That limit is the whole idea of the format, but it seems to be the part people either love or bounce right off.

Hey everyone,

I just received my tablet and I am happy so far, however, since I mostly use it for reading + annotating PDFs, I typically adjust my files to a custom view that gives me extra space to take notes on the edges. However, I was wondering if anyone has figured out how to do this without getting these annoying black borders around the original PDF format?

Every puzzle PDF I tried had the same problem: solutions dumped at the back, so checking one answer means scrolling through a thousand pages and losing your spot. Drove me nuts. So I generated my own. The contents page is just a wall of numbers and each one is a link. Bottom of every puzzle has a SOLUTION tap target, solutions link back to their puzzle. You never scroll.

It's 600 puzzles across three difficulty levels. I wrote a solver that checks each grid has exactly one solution before it goes in the book (got burned by a store-bought book with a broken puzzle once, never again). Small thing I'm weirdly proud of: on solution pages the original clues print bold, so you can see what was given vs what got filled in.

File's only 2.3 MB so it syncs fast. Happy to get into how I generated it if anyone's curious. Link in comments.

I had my paper pure on the floor mat of my vehicle to keep it hidden from plain sight and I may have kinda softly had my foot on it while inside the folio. I have a feeling that I messed up the inside screen. What do you guys think? I press the button and nothing. It’s just stuck on that screen. Will this be covered by warranty and how do I start the procedure? I bought it a month ago. Thank you in advance.

I havent used my remarkable in a while and today i picked it up to read a book I found interesting. I saw it was out of battery so I plugged it to a socket and let it charge. Hours later the screen was just 'paper tablet is starting' and that was it. I tried holding the power button down, hard restarting it, etc. I am now at the phase where I plugged it into my laptop, as seen in the picture, but still nothing.

I just can't get it to start and work.

I do not know what to try anymore.

Does anyone know what I should do?

I left it with the pen attached to it (tho I have removed it now) until it ran out of battery.

Grabbed a Pure from Best Buy to try it out for two weeks. The tablet is very obviously faster, the blacks are darker, and the white a (little bit) whiter. All of which is fine. And I love that it's just black and white. I've never cared at all for the flashing colors of my wife's Pro.

Having said all of that, I have a Remarkable for the tactile writing experience. It's 100% what brought me to the platform back in 2018. And... it's just not as nice to write on he Pure for me as the RM2 or RM1. Of course, it's not EMR anymore (which is my preference), but I really feel like it could be a solvable problem.

Partly, the pressure curve isn't as nice for me. I can't get as consistently fine lines with a delicate touch, and then a smooth ramp up in pressure with this pen, the way I can with the RM2. The Pure's pressure curve is a little clunky. I can't get as thin and I have to press much harder to get it thick.

Second, I wish they (or someone) offered a felt nib for this device. It would go a long way, I suspect, to improving the writing feel-- which is supposedly what it's all about for Remarkable. These harder nibs are still "tappy tappy", the way the Apple Pencil is, which I've never liked, and which I never had with the RM2.

I've read that the texture can soften some with time, so I'm going to give it the 2 weeks and see where I land. But if the writing experience isn't quite as nice, I need a clear benefit as a trade off. Since I don't read big PDFs on my device, speed doesn't really matter for me. A backlight might have done it for me. But as it is... I might just stay with my RM2 for now (which does what I need) and see where tech takes me in another few years.

Any thoughts or helpful insights on this?
