(Really though, something about paper makes me afraid to "commit" things which make the pieces of paper no longer usable. Something made to be erased seems to be the trick for me).

A notebook is a very personal thing. =)
Holy shit this thing is good.
It's like an infinite notepad/whiteboard that auto syncs to the cloud, lets you define page layout templates, and renders PDFs and ebooks.
I've had it for just a few weeks and it's already the favorite pice of tech I own.
I've never used a reMarkable tablet but there's something off putting for me about using tablets to take physical notes. IDK how to explain it, drawing apps are fine but physically writing symbols, or making charts, or writing notes? It just feels off. I like the rocketbooks because it's just a fancier way to implement OCR for handwritten notes and the actions between paper and their product is nearly identical for me.
Maybe the reMarkable is able to handle this, just never tried it. It does look better than using something like an iPad for note taking.
It also doesn't do fancy stuff: it's black and white, and doesn't do OCR on device at all. It's basically just a notepad that is synced to your other devices (without the manual picture step, and you can get svg instead, etc)
To me it's too a notepad what a kindle is to books: a single purpose device that does it's job very well.
Oh yeah, and about two weeks of battery life is pretty good.
I realize I'm starting to sound a bit like a sales rep... but I'm just a fanboy user.
Having both is important, though: you need to be able to preserve the things that matter, that you may need later on.
