I am not someone who normally writes reviews of a product. I’ll occasionally make recommendations in bulk, but a dedicated post? For one device? It just doesn’t happen. And yet here I am, compelled to write one for my Precious reMarkable 2. Note: I am not getting any sort of kickback for this; I was not given a free device; and I have zero connection to the reMarkable company. I just really freaking love this thing.
