It's Hard Not to Love ReMarkable's New Colorful E Ink Tablet
The ReMarkable Paper Pro, priced at $579, features a color E Ink display, front light, and active stylus, designed for focused writing but may not justify the upgrade for ReMarkable 2 users.

The ReMarkable Paper Pro is a digital notebook designed for distraction-free productivity, priced at $579. It features a color E Ink screen, a front light for visibility in low-light conditions, and an active stylus that enhances the writing experience, making it feel closer to writing on paper. The device is larger than most digital notebooks, with an 11.8-inch display, and is lightweight, making it portable. The color display uses ReMarkable's Canvas Color technology, allowing for muted colors that can be used for note-taking and editing. The built-in front light improves usability in dim environments, and the tablet boasts a battery life of up to two weeks. However, the Paper Pro is considered expensive, especially when paired with the necessary Type Folio keyboard cover, which costs an additional $229. Users of the previous ReMarkable 2 may not find the upgrade justifiable unless they specifically desire the new color features. Overall, the Paper Pro is recommended for those who value a focused writing experience and can benefit from its unique features, but it may not be suitable for everyone due to its limitations in web browsing and collaboration.

6 commentsBoox has been on my "maybe" list for 2-3 years. Android and so capable of e.g. handling all my current Kindle life, albiet in the Android kindle app not the kindle paperwhite GUI (oh, what a terrible GUI that is, but tightly bound to Amazon and I now have a significant investment, calibre aside)
With both the Kindle Scribe and reMarkable I'm kind of disappointed that there isn't an easy way to automatically back up PDFs of notebooks. When I last checked, it looked like the third-party projects for exporting reMarkable files are not too popular currently.
I realized I'd lost some journal entries over the years that I'd put in e.g. Evernote, and currently I'm facing having to digitize a bunch of Video8 Sony camcorder cassettes, so having a system that automatically backs-up to a futureproof format is pretty important to me.
This does make me wonder more about the Daylight panel and if they could enable color through a software update to enable things like highlighting. Of course, at some point it would defeat the point of the whole company, becoming just another tablet for mass consumption.
Its too large to be an ereader and it doesn't have enough ram to be anything else. I love that its a real gallery 3 color eink screen instead of the half-measure of spectra screens, but I want this screen in my laptop where I can drive it with powerful hardware and an open operating system.
