I think that your wife should go with the iPad. If she’s “not convinced” by reMarkable’s selling points, then she’s right - it would be easier to stick with what she’s knows.

Because yes, the biggest selling point of the reMarkable is that it’s a distraction-free device that truly feels like writing on paper - the experience of writing on one is just blissful.

But she’s not looking for a device to bring her joy while writing - she’s using it for work. As much as I love the reMarkable, it sounds like your wife would be happier with an iPad.

The folks I see in this subreddit that are most disappointed with the reMarkable are folks who expected it to do a bunch of things, like an iPad does. But the reMarkable’s strength is that it does one thing really well: provides a high-class, luxurious writing experience, for people who love the tactile feeling of putting pencil to paper.

If she’s just using it for work, sounds like an iPad would be best.

Yes, I’m using it to write a novella - it’s great for long form writing! <3 It’s been a lovely experience - completely distraction-free, the tactile feel of the reMarkable pencil on the tablet truly feels like pencil on paper - its such a luxurious experience!

I got it after being in a years-long writing slump. I hated writing for “fun” on a computer after being on a computer all day at work, so drafting felt like work and had stopped being fun… After the reMarkable though, writing is so much fun again!!!

I promise I don’t work for reMarkable LOL I just really love mine - I think you will too!
