I'm a happy user of this tablet.

I also created a [Go app](https://github.com/juruen/rmapi) to interact with the cloud API.

I mainly use the tablet as a "virtual printer". Using the app I just mentioned above, I print directly to the device from my Mac. Yeah, this just saves me a couple of clicks and one drag and drop :)

Here's a [tutorial](https://github.com/juruen/rmapi/blob/master/docs/tutorial-pr...) on how to set it up and an actual [demo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOGTYI15VxY&feature=youtu.be).

When I was studying, it was also great to use it to solve math problems on it when I was traveling without having to carry too much paper with me.

I hope the idea of a virtual printer catches on for these type of devices. It would make the switch to a paperless environment in the corporate world so simple.
OneNote uses the virtual printer on Windows. It is actually really helpful.
Looks like a cool program - but a little sad that there's a need for an Api... Couldn't the device present as an ipp/cups printer via wlan/bonjour ?

[ed: I suppose there's a case to be made for "cloud" Printing too, though]

That is super cool! I have been printing web pages to pdf to read later and then copy of them over, but this way more seamless.
