Episode notes
Bought reMarkable 2, Liked Hardware
- Joe Casabona bought a reMarkable 2 with the Typefolio keyboard to test e-ink writing and liked the physical feel of the device.
- He found exporting text into his Obsidian/Ulysses workflow painful, which created workflow friction and led him to return it.

- If a device forces manual exports or imperfect conversions, skip it or add a paid sync service only if friction is worth it.
