Looks like it. I watched eons of videos on this (both remarkable version
and also other similar devices), and if I had the abundance of money I
wouldn’t hesitate to get one just to try for a couple weeks, but yeah,
my impression is, they are fairly good at imitating paper, but fail in
combining the best of both worlds, even less so when it comes to
annotating.
