People of a certain age can remember taking notes with a pen or pencil and paper. As a reporter, I did it for years, filling volumes of notebooks with my chicken-scratch stenography and a steady stream of doodles. Every meeting was 50% notes and 50% drawing, which I insisted helped me listen. Some years ago, I stopped taking handwritten notes and switched to typing on my laptop or iPhone. I can't say I miss the handwriting, but I do miss the doodling.
reMarkable's new Paper Pure digital paper tablet is taking me back to those bygone days of scribbling my thoughts in words and images. It's like muscle memory, and I don't know if I want to go back to typing.
