+1 to this. Getting a reMarkable has improved my “Actually read interesting papers” metric by infinite%. I went from bookmark and forget to reading at least 1 paper per week on average.

Turns out published academic papers, even the bad ones, are infinitely better than even the most insightful twitter threads.

Years ago I replaced podcasts with audiobooks for long runs. Podcasts started feeling too short. That’s been a huge improvement as well.

This week I stopped listening to podcasts on my way to the gym. That’s 20 minutes of thinking time per day. Fantastic so far. I feel a lot more relaxed.




I looked at reMarkable and it seems cool, except that they push subscription models that I really can't get behind.


The device also supports ssh over USB, which has been more than adequate for my meds


How easy is it to get papers on? Do you email the PDFs or similar?


It syncs over wifi. There’s a windows/mac/ios app that you can drop files into and they show up on your reMarkable.

There’s even a chrome extension that lets you click a button and the page shows up on the tablet in epub form (which unfortunately doesn’t do images). You have to print-to-pdf then dump into the app to get a webpage with images onto the tablet. That part’s kind of annoying, but many articles work just fine as epub.


drag and drop on the app and they sync.
