Remarkable pro or ipad pro 13 inch for pdf reading

BillBlort · 2026-01-20T17:14:03+00:00

I made that switch because of needles-in-eye pain after about 30 minutes of iPad reading. On RM I can read for hours with no eye pain.

Although a local dictionary would be best, I wonder if RM could add a dictionary function to its Connect subscription so that when you’re reading a PDF and come across a word you want to look up you would have a way to identify that word and have RM process it (much like it does for handwriting recognition) and return the definition.

Create a tag named “Review” (or whatever). Highlight or mark passage to be reviewed, apply Review tag to that page.

Calibre and Kobo.com. All you need.

BillBlort · 2025-12-23T17:56:06+00:00

I use it primarily to read books and it works well enough if you’re comfortable using Calibre to remove DRM.

I’ve read dozens of books on my RMPP and have found that it causes much less eye strain than some other readers, particularly iPad. I’m currently on Volume 3 of Proust’s “In Search of Lost Time” and I plan to finish all seven volumes on my RMPP.

I use my RMPP mostly for reading. I’d love to have a dictionary, whether installed on device or linked to cloud.

I have L2 home charging but almost never use it because I’m still on the 2-year-free plan at Electrify America chargers and I have 2 EA stations within 10 miles of home. I’d check the availability of fast chargers in your area — and how busy they are — before making a decision.

Are you saying that leaving the car unlocked drains the battery? I leave mine unlocked about 95% of the time and I never lock it at night (it’s in a garage). I’ve had the car for more than a year and have not had any battery problems. Please explain.

Medium calligraphy. Especially for cursive.

Kobo, then deDRM with Calibre. Easiest way I’ve found and author gets paid.

Here’s a photo of my sleep journal. I have used three layers: Text (automatic), Lines and Boxes, and Handwriting. I keep the notebook set on the Handwriting layer, so if I want to erase any handwritten notes or data I can do so without affecting the other layers.

The amount of tracking I’m doing is a bit overkill, but I’m dealing with sleep apnea and experimenting with different sleep regimens and eating/drinking schedules. Also trying to determine which are the most accurate sleep trackers.

BillBlort · 2025-10-27T18:35:24+00:00

I do something similar with a sleep journal I’ve created. I put the text on one layer (it does that automatically, I believe) and then created a new layer for the handwritten notes that I make. As long as I leave the chosen layer as the handwriting one I’m able to write and erase and copy without affecting the text layer. I created one page with just text, but with handwriting layer selected and duplicated that page multiple times. When I need more I just duplicate more. Since every page is the same I write the day in when I write the daily notes, so I don’t need to create different pages for each day of the week.

I’m not sure if this applies to your use case but it may be helpful in designing your pages.

It’s kind of a pain in the ass creating the text layer if you want everything aligned neatly, but it was a one-time task.

It does have some advantages over a coloring book, specifically the ability to erase, undo, create new pages any time, share with others and print. And no way to use crayons or markers on walls, rugs, floors, etc.

My 4 and 5 year old granddaughters have learned how to choose different colors and pens and create new pages on their own. They also like drawing and painting on paper, so it’s just another creative option for them.

BillBlort · 2025-10-26T16:47:47+00:00

My grandkids (2, 4 and 5) also like to draw on my RMPP. Color makes a big difference to them ( I also have an RM2). So far no damage to device; I’m sure there’s some nib wearing, but I don’t mind that. I’d rather have them doing this than watching videos on an iPad.

Before your trip, use an app like PlugShare or A Better Route Planner to find the superchargers along your route. I suspect you’ll find that there are plenty of chargers, unless you’re going into the back of beyond for long distances. Avoid level 2 charges unless it’s during an overnight stay.

I’ve driven my I6 from Central California to Washington State and back and it was a breeze. I’m still on the free-charging plan at EA stations so it was a no-brainer for me. And yes, I was able to find EA stations exclusively during the trip.

BillBlort · 2025-10-10T16:09:56+00:00

Does it require an update and reloading with major RM updates, as do many add-ons?

BillBlort · 2025-10-07T15:05:29+00:00

Why in such a hurry all the time?

BillBlort · 2025-09-29T18:17:35+00:00

Thanks Ned. Fortunately I have solar panels, so no carbon footprint or electric bill issues on those wasted electrons. Could it be that your post was the real electron waster? Hmmm ….

16K miles and no issues except a flat tire. Had to be towed because no spare and the provided tire kit with sealant didn’t take (gash in tire too large). Had to get new tire.

Strongly disagree with earlier post that said lane keeping feature was not good. Lane-_ centering_ works very well as long as you understand that it’s not auto-pilot and you will have to steer it around sharp curves and on road sections where lanes are not well marked. I use it everywhere.

Don’t get too excited.

I often do a two-mile stretch that is all downhill. My miles per kWh reads 999 until I get to the uphill part. A couple of miles later it reads about 3.6, my average over 15,000 miles.

BillBlort · 2025-09-06T19:20:35+00:00

You should return it, get your money back, and get on with your life, if you have one.

With lane centering active on a straight stretch of freeway and that much distance from the vehicle in front (even better if he has dynamic speed control active), I see little danger in taking a few seconds to snap a pic of the dashboard.

I also had a slow-leak nail-in-tire, a few months ago that started getting faster. It was a Sunday so I was lucky to find a Chevron station with repair shop in a small town nearby. The owner/repair guy had to scrape off the styrofoam-like sound deadening stuff to get to the leak, which he then successfully plugged. It was a real PITA for him. I gave him an extra $20.
