For years, the central ethos of reMarkable has been to get you away from screens and create an experience that emulates the feeling of writing with pen and paper. With its new device, the reMarkable Paper Pure, the company continues the trend of creating a device counter-positioned against phones, iPads, and laptops. As it lacks notifications and multitasking apps, the Paper Pure aims to attract writers, designers, and researchers looking for reading and writing without any distractions.
When reviewing devices, I typically write down or record notes in different forms, across different apps, and, at times, on different devices. But since this device is meant for writing, I thought it would be fitting to write the review itself on the new reMarkable Paper Pure. I have written this whole review on the tablet using its handwriting conversion feature and edited it on WordPress.
The new $399 reMarkable Paper Pure tablet is the successor to the reMarkable 2, which was released six years ago. In the meantime, the company decided to release the $499 Paper Pro with a color screen and a smaller Paper Pro Move withbetter portability.
The Paper Pure goes back to basics with a monochrome display in notebook size. It has a 10.3-inchscreen — the same size as the reMarkable 2. But the company flipped the resolution to make the display both wider and shorter. This means more text fits on the horizontal line, both when reading and writing. I’ve tried the reMarkable 2 in the past, and with the new tablet, the writing experience is crisper.
