@mark Looks amazing. You are very talented, as we already knew from your apps. The Remarkable is meant to be the best so this battery life is probably better than most other E-ink tablets
@mark How’s the ecosystem day to day ? I see they have a subscription. Fair enough, but I wonder how locked-in one ends up with file formats etc ?
@mark These sketches are cool! Thanks for sharing!
@mark Those are amazing!!! :)
@mark what the refresh latency on something like that?
@schwa not bad at all while drawing. The preview pixels get drawn pretty instantly. When you lift off of the tablet it refreshes a bit slow and moving between screens refreshes pretty slow like most e-ink displays I’ve seen. You get used to it after awhile.
@mark so it’s able to only refresh under the pen?
@schwa not sure I understand that question. This is my first real experience with e-ink too so I’m honestly not very familiar with how it wall works. 🙂
@mark What device? My spouse just got a Supernote, but primarily for note-taking.
The biggest disappointment for me so far is battery life. I thought they advertised the battery life as 2 weeks or something, but I’m barely getting 2 days if that. I’m guessing sketching and using layers just pushes the device a lot harder than someone using it to jot notes? One drawing and I’m down from 100% to around 60. I’m used to charging my devices so it’s not a big deal, but would have been nice if it was a bit better.
Here’s a few more sketches I’ve done on it:
Photo of my tablet with a girl standing with her arms crossed and looking smug.
Photo of my tablet with a girl looking in melancholy.
Photo of my tablet with a drawing of a girl jumping into the air dynamically with the intention of an attack.
Today’s sketch.
Finished sketch of the drawing from the previous post of the girl with a piny tail holding a hand gun. This is zoomed up closer to show details.

Okay I guess I wasn’t really done. Initially intended to have her leaning against a wall.
As a bonus, the second image is what the artwork looks like from the remarkable app. I honestly prefer the muted look on device, but still cool to see it in full color even though the colors can look pretty weird. #mastoart #art
Same sketch, only instead of a photo of my sketch on my tablet, this one is what is shown in the remarkable app.
Same sketch as the previous post but added a background. The girl has her back to a wall next to a doorway entrance with light coming from the other room.

@mark they’re very cool Mark.
@mark I have the first edition remarkable (love it). Where colours are only apparent in the export.
How do those colours look in the exported images?
The vet examining our cat today said,
"I came here from Spain. The cats there bite! (American) cats here don't as much! I don't know why!"
Me, my spouse, and my tiny tortie cat said "what?"
@mark Amazing drawings! Regarding battery life, keep in mind those screens only draw power when the image changes (and they draw quite a bit since they need to physically move tiny ink bubbles around). Drawing requires the image to be updated every frame while you’re moving the stylus on the screen, so it’s a lot more screen updates than just reading or browsing the web. But two days ain’t bad, you can recharge during sleep and never run out of battery during usage.
@mark these look fantastic! The colors from the eink is very pleasant.
@mark my paper pro is also just three days. they say it‘s normal, but I don‘t fully buy it. for me, its just a notebook, so display does not refresh that often
@DavidHaydl from what I read, the backlight, WiFi, and using colors can shorten the battery life faster. I’ll probably do some unscientific tests turning those off and only drawing in black and white with no layers to see if it’s any better. But I’m not in a situation where I can’t charge it often so it’s not a dealbreaker for me.
@mark Batteries will not improve with current technology.
@mark Remarkable put a LOT of time into the pencil of paper like experience of their products and it really shows.
