The Origin E-ink Notebook

Excellent Writing feel, very good overall quality, but the battery could be better. Only thing really missing is an easy way to send articles from the web directly (like integrated pocket or something similar to “send to kindle”).

I bought the Origin because I needed a small E-ink note-taking tablet. I have a Remarkable 2, which is an excellent tool, but is too big for some applications and too cumbersome to use in my garage and when brewing beer. Comparing the Origin to the Remarkable2, I was pleasently surprised to find the Origin fitting naturally into my established work flow. It feels extremely similary when I take notes, as are the gestures to flip pages. The Origin actually feels a bit faster for things like writing and erasing, flipping pages. Slight edge to the Remarkable2 for things like navigating menues, etc. Although I prefer the more Android-like environment to the custom Remarkable. The Remarkable has more features the main one I wish the Origin had are erasing part of a stroke, rather than the entire stroke, and being able to resize a section of a drawing, not just drag it. Since I got the Origin for quick and dirty note taking in a mobile/garage environment, the Origin's features are MORE than adequate. For more involved drawings, I use the Remarkable. Considering the major cost difference and the fact the Origin is much easier to carry and more convenient away from a desk, the Origin is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING and one of my most used tools.

I had read & watched many reviews about this tablet so knew what to expect. I love it for reading and to carry in my purse for note taking.
I had originally gotten it for my 82 yr old mother. But she's only ever used an iPad. Trying to learn different apps & icons was too much for her lol! It's just perfect for what I was wanting to carry around though. I have other e-ink tablets but they're just too big to be portable.
Thank you!

Working great, very intuitive, and the battery life is better than I expected. The size is perfect for my intended use as a sketch pad and it seems to be a well built piece. The MobiScribe does more than I need it to do and no subscription to mess with. My wife got me the case for about $25.00 and you don’t need anything else, it even came charged and ready to use out of the box. I would recommend this to my friends but expect them to ask about it when they see me using it. 👍👍👍

Great device. Does exactly what I needed it for.
