I for one cannot wait for my AI powered bookmark
The whole point of note taking is the physical act of making the note, because it forces you to focus on the words and record them in a second way in your brain. If something just makes a note for you, you will never remember it.
And that’s the point. They want to commodity memory itself. You won’t need to remember anything, Mark does it for you!
“You need an account with an active subscription to access notes. Free accounts get five study sessions per week. Refer a friend for a subscription discount!”
Give it a couple months, they’ll get there.
Yeah it’s shit but sidenote: I fucking hate it when scrolling a page does things other than actually fucking scroll. Take your text highlight bullshit and fuck all the way off. Make me stop to read at your pace I will launch you into the fucking sun.
Your bookmark bricked and burned the book. My bookmark is a putting a crease in the page.
E-ink devices that support writing / stylus input are the actually good hybridization of paper and digital reading
Seeking through PDF books is pretty painful. Not the devices fault, PDF is just a pretty shit format to view.
If the book isn’t indexed into a table of contents, yeah it can be annoying. Will never beat the power of a proper computer with a keyboard and fast display. Though, I did manage to install emacs on my ereader (and keyboard) which was kinda funny to use, but too laggy to be practical.
I wish I could afford a remarkable. They look pretty sweet.
I encourage you to look at Supernotes. I got a used Remarkable only because Supernotes weren’t readily available second-hand.
Supernoted.
High refresh rate combined with low input latency is still a cutting-edge (read: expensive) feature, but I hope economy of scale will change this a bit each year. All the brands are building from the same components pumped out of China; there are other brands like Boox that are a bit cheaper and applying a downward pressure on brands like Remarkable. I own a Supernote, which was a big investment for me, but I was happy with the modular design (including easily replaceable battery) which in theory means I can spread the cost over many years, replacing parts as they wear.
I hope that these devices become cheaper and cheaper. Keep an eye out also for refurbished and open-box sales
Oh yeah, I’m all about that second hand market.
I had one in college for notes, can confirm it’s really nice
I dog ear pages and I DON’T EVEN FEEL BAD ABOUT IT
mass market paperbacks only last a handful of years if read regularly anyway. They’re not sacred relics.
This looks so tedious. It also reminds me of something from a mail-order catalogue from 2010.
OCR is good now. You can just take a photo of a page and select the paragraph with Google lens or something. Not saying this is my preferred approach but that should be some sort of technologic baseline when you consider making a new product.
Of course this product wasn’t made to fill an actual need. It’s made for tech enthusiasts that buy this shit compulsively.
Who’s the idiot who came up with this?
Can’t wait for my AI book summarizer to literally rewrite the plot and feed me a sanitized version in podcast form.
Filter your book through the new Theo Von DLC!
American Sniper is a auction packed and gripping real life story about a online trader putting everything on the line to SEAL the deal before it’s too late.
This is the dumbest product of the year. What if a text scanner was tiny and you had to carefully swipe it along the page and also it could only connect to another tiny tablet that then shows you the text it hopefully manged to scan. Waow.
Idiocracy
