ReMarkable is known for producing some of the best e-ink tablets available. However, prospective buyers have always faced one major hurdle: the steep entry price. The ReMarkable Paper Pro is priced too high, and the Paper Pro Move lacks independent functionality. Recognizing this gap, the company has introduced a new e-ink tablet to resolve the issue.
Introducing the ReMarkable Paper Pure to the ReMarkable lineup, this device could be the ideal choice for those who have considered a ReMarkable product but wanted to avoid premium pricing.
ReMarkablePriced at $399, the Paper Pure is a 10.3-inch black-and-white e-ink tablet. It includes a Marker pen, with an optional Marker Plus and Sleeve Folio bundle available for $449. At this starting price point, the ReMarkable Paper Pure presents an attractive option, so let’s explore what comes with this new e-ink device.
What’s Included for $399?
The ReMarkable Paper Pure is slim, lightweight, and impressively constructed for its price. Weighing just 360 grams and measuring 6mm thin, it’s easy to carry around. ReMarkable also states that the Paper Pure boasts the longest battery life among its devices, lasting up to three weeks on a single charge with about an hour of daily use.
ReMarkableAccording to the manufacturer, the third-generation black-and-white Canvas display is the sharpest and brightest in their lineup. To achieve the target price, ReMarkable made some compromises. The Paper Pure lacks a front light and color display.
However, if you primarily use your tablet for writing and note-taking, you likely won’t miss these features. For instance, I recently bought a Super Nomad without either feature, and I’m very satisfied.
How Is the Writing and Software Experience?
This is the most critical aspect of an e-ink notebook, and the answer is positive. The Paper Pure features the same textured writing surface as the flagship ReMarkable Paper Pro. Digital ink appears in just 21 milliseconds, and page navigation is up to twice as fast as the ReMarkable 2.
ReMarkableAdditionally, you receive all the software features found in the more expensive Paper Pro version. You can take notes, annotate PDFs, and even download web articles for offline reading.
An optional subscription service unlocks extra capabilities. You can sync it with Google Calendar or Microsoft Outlook to automatically generate meeting notes, import files from Google Drive, OneDrive, or Dropbox, and search through handwritten notes. It also includes AI-driven handwriting-to-text conversion.
If you were considering a ReMarkable tablet but were deterred by the cost, the ReMarkable Paper Pure could be the perfect solution.
