I initially went with the RM2 when I was looking for a note-taking e-ink device because people said the writing feel is the best and I actually just wanted a note-taking device. Used it for 2 months and really enjoyed it but over the course of using it, I noticed that I actually need a front light and would also enjoy being able to easily read e-books (without having to remove DRM first).
So I ordered a Boox NA3C and returned the RM2. I sometimes still miss the UI of the RM2 and it took me some time to get used to the NA3C because it’s so much more complicated, but now I really love it and am glad I made the switch. The colour is a welcome addition, my notes look so much more structured now and are easier to read. And the writing feel is actually a little better than on RM2 imo.

Thanks for your honest feedback. I believe RM2 is probably good for my use case but appreciate how it’s not “everyone’s cup of tea”
