I preordered my device so I got the subscription for free.
I used to have stacks of notebooks which I had to dispose of regularly (shred or put into security paper bins). For me the most convenient and quickest way to make personal notes is by hand. Remarkable2 has a proper pen&paper-feel and it works for me. It is the killer feature for me and I'm happy.
But yes, OCR is bad and having accumulated 100+ pages of notes on certain subjects makes me really want to have a better search.
