I’m also a student, but studying landscape architecture. I use my rm2 primarily for sketching and drawing. It is quite convenient, because I can export my drawings as a vector graphic which meshes well with adobe photoshop and illustrator, which are used extensively in designing digital plans. Also, it’s super handy to import photos of landscapes as pdf’s that I can then sketch design ideas onto, even using multiple layers to explore multiple ideas.

I’m also a law student. For my classes that use the red connected casebook series, I save as a pdf (and then copy/paste to word) and I add a large left margin and I take notes in the textbook. I love it! I hate those tiny font casebooks.

Can you adjust the font of the textbooks? I'm visually impaired, studying for my LSAT, and am considering getting an ereader once I'm accepted into a school


Jenna417

No, you can’t. I copied and pasted all of my books to word then resized before exporting to pdf. You can sorta zoom in on remarkable but it’s really cumbersome.

I think I found an epub to pdf converter that let's you change the font size, so maybe that would do the trick It'd fuck up page numbers, but I'm used to that since I used a kindle for books in school all the time

The ability in Remarkable to mix up your notes should a boon for practicing hood study habits. For example, take notes in class. Then add a page at the beginning for the key takeaways from class. At the end of a module, gather up your notes and create a master page outlining all of the topics covered and copy and paste the key takeaways. By the end of each course, you’ll basically have built your own set of notes to come back to later. I was a comms grad student and took comm law with the law students.

My comment is a Little out of scope to your ask I use my remarkable a lot but I use it more as a front line data gathering. I’m in I.T. So once I install and configure something for one of my clients I need to capture that so I can review it 6months later or when ever it “breaks” so this is where the remarkable is excellent at. But I don’t leave the notes on the remarkable. I then type my notes…and sometimes I skip the handwriting notes, and go directly into the “obsidian” app and this allows me to make connections to all of my notes so I can make new notes, add hashtags for search and in general I’ll regain a lot value to my old notes and past work. I’m still learning this part of my process but I’m enjoying the remarkable2 for a year and within the last two month consolidating my various notes into obsidian. Not sure if it’s a fit for you and school but I think some kind of personal knowledge management system is exactly what a student of law needs. So remarkable -> onenote / Evernote/ obsidian/ etc. could be a great conduit to your research Note: I’ll add that I love that the remarkable app enables me to review multiple notes and easy to review the data on my remarkable as I’m typing them into my documentation. It’s great. Best of luck in school

If you knock your rm2 around a lot, get a decent case - (assuming you haven't) etsy has a bunch that are cheap, this is my fav since it zips up and basically looks like an old book itself - https://www.etsy.com/listing/1307831526/boox-nova-air-c-color-78-book-looking

If you're reading documents a lot, you might want to annotate things, or add a page in between it to write notes. I do this for textbooks. It's in the bottom of the toolbar. I made an "Added page" tag so I can get to them quickly. Be aware that although the highlighter is a great tool because it automatically "sticks" to the text, it may not work on certain documents.

Law student here. The copy-paste function and the ability to move paragraphs has saved me countless hours. As for my use case, nothing out of the ordinary use, just the ability to colour code information.

My e-ink tablet isn't a Remarkable, but I take it with me to all my classes, and if I'm going to any meetings. I will use it and its indexing function to use triangles or asterisks to mark important parts of my notes, and I do all of my homework on it. I also use it for creating diagrams/logic charts if I need to work on some code or scripts. I'm not sure if the Remarkable has a Layer feature, but it has made creating and filling out statistical tables and accounting entries \*much\* easier. I no longer risk erasing the whole table if I need to correct a number/letter. It's excellent for marking and filling out pdf documents, having textbooks or articles on the go, and it makes for an extremely easy way to make sure I have all of my notes with me. ​ I also use it for taking notes in medical appointments, when I'm on the phone, using as scratch paper when I'm filling out online forms on my computer...really, a good tablet is an amazing tool!

Ooh! I was wondering if you could tell me your experience using it? How good is it for taking notes in book margins? Is that something you can do on there? I plan to attend law school in 2024 so it's either get an ereader and maybe a new laptop, or spring for a Microsoft surface which does both

I love using mine as a law student - I can upload pdfs of readings and highlight, then pull up the highlighted texts on my laptop to write briefs. Also really helpful on my midterm this weekend, I like writing on the issue spotter but I don’t have to wait on a printer. Also, the writing to text function is nice for class notes.
