How the reMarkable Paper Pro Works

The reMarkable Paper Pro is basically an e-ink tablet designed for reading, writing, and note-taking. With the tablet, you can have stacks of work for different projects. The tablet also recognizes and transforms your handwriting, and you can sketch on it and save it to your computer.

If you’re new to the concept, here’s a summary of how the previous model works:

  1. E Ink Display: The reMarkable 2 has a high-resolution, color E Ink display that mimics paper and provides a glare-free reading experience.
  2. Marker Stylus: This stylus uses electromagnetic resonance technology to provide a precise writing and drawing experience. It can also be used to take notes, annotate documents, and create sketches.
  3. Organization: The tablet allows you to organize notes into folders and tags, which makes it very easy to search and access the content you have created.
  4. Cloud Sync: reMarkable users can still sync contents to the cloud and access their files on different devices. The tablet also supports various document formats, including PDF, EPUB, and Office files.

Why Fans Love the reMarkable

Slim Design, Type Folio, Handwriting-to-text Conversion Software, etc.

The manufacturer regards the reMarkable series as the ‘world’s thinnest tablet’. It has a gorgeous, slim design with silver-grey trim on one bezel of the aluminum chassis, which makes it look premium.

Since its release in 2020, the reMarkable 2 tablet has seen many upgrades. Some features that didn’t exist when it was launched – like Google Drive, Dropbox, and OneDrive integration, screen sharing, and notes for PDFs and ebooks are now available for users of the two most recent models.

Newer features like the handwriting-to-text conversion software, the checkboxes on to-do lists, and support for the Type Folio are also some of the iterations that fans appreciate in the reMarkable 2 and Paper Pro.

The eraser on top of the Marker Plus stylus also helps make the reMarkable one of the best e-paper tablets for signing documents, with no input lag.

Adding color to the device is a sure-fire win to make previous-generation owners consider upgrading, and people on the fence take a second look.

reMarkable 3 Price

$579 / £559

It’s a luxury device and the price tag matches. The ReMarkable Paper Pro is priced under the $600 mark. Still, you might find some cheaper ReMarkable 2s hitting the market.

The Bottom Line

Color us surprised how under the radar this launch was — but ReMarkable has pulled it off again. Sometimes the obvious next feature is the logical one, and ReMarkable is not going to make any enemies by bringing canvas colors into the mix.

Expect reMarkable to keep picking evangelicals as it arrives in shops, appealing to a crowd who don’t want the distraction of a tablet but perhaps don’t mind the price.
