reMarkable Paper Pro

[...] After a year and four months of use, my Pro tablet no longer works—the touchscreen has stopped responding. Getting it repaired would cost me €250 since the warranty is only good for one year. That’s expensive for just a year and four months of use. [...]

I got the Remarkable Paper Pro a couple of years ago to read and annotate PDFs, first drafts, etc. It also excellent for marking up student papers. The writing experience is a big improvement over the iPad, even with a Paperlike screen protector.

I’ve had my paper pro for almost a year now… I had no idea I could use those swipe shortcuts 😭 that makes my life so much easier thank you

I use my ReMarkable Paper Pro every day :) I use it personally to do maths and journal, and professionally to take notes. What's your budget?

[...] I randomly encountered a reMarkable Paper Pro Move recently, instantly purchased it. [...] The software, simplicity, low-latency, form factor, writing feel, everything is absolutely perfect for me.

Not surprised, the reMarkable Paper Pro has been the worst purchase I have made in the last three years. Support has been seriously unhelpful, and the tablet has only failed in greater ways once it was past the warranty period. [...]

Same, I already had a reMarkable tablet and got the reMarkable Paper Pro Move as an impulse purchase (ignoring its ridiculously high price) expecting to return it within the 50-day return window, but the fact that it fits in my pocket (or “most of my pockets”, as you said) has made a huge difference in how much I use it and how I spend my time. [...]

[...] That aside, the Remarkable Paper Pro is one of the biggest deltas I have ever seen between hardware and software quality. [...]

I owned a Remarkable 2 and sold it when the Remarkable Paper Pro came out. I now own a Remarkable Paper Pro and a Remarkable Paper Pro Move. I use them for deep work and it really helps me with distractions. [...] The one feature I miss is being able to have a split screen so that I could have a document open and be writing in another document. [...] To overcome this now I have documents open on my laptop to reference as I am writing on the Remarkable.

[...] The pen includes a built-in rechargeable battery. The device's battery is also not user replaceable. These are the same issues that the Remarkable Paper Pro has. They use the Linux kernel and some GPL software. They've made a change with Remarkable Paper Pro to only allow SSH access once the user has put the device in "developer mode". [...] These dumps are also rather useless if they still lack the source code for the frame buffer and the display. [...] They really want their customers to use their software, to have an account and to use their cloud services. [...] EPUB documents still have issues on my Remarkable 2 due to the bugs their USB based document transfer tool has. [...] They probably only update the account-based software they force people to use to get as much money from subscriptions as possible. [...]

I did this a few months ago with the Remarkable Paper Pro and Claude. It worked quite well, my handwriting is pretty terrible, and I even had a clunky workflow where I could just write down stuff I wanted to do, and roughly(or specifically) when I wanted to do it, and it was able to generate an ical I could load into my calendar.

I've only used the Boox Tab Ultra C Pro and Remarkable Paper Pro but the latter is definitely a lot more "calm" than the former. [...] Its sync was pretty slow and it needed wifi for any of the handwriting conversion but its latency felt a lot better (albeit the redraw was a bit annoying) and more importantly, it really felt like they nailed the colors better. [...] The keyboard folio was also better for the RMPP since I often experienced loose contact with the one on the BTUCP when I used it on my lap (flat surfaces were good once I set it up). [...] Additionally, the keyboard folio isn't a feature I use often. [...] RMPP does have a 90 days no questions asked return policy if you want to try it out (though I'm not sure how much that's worth).

[...] I have a Remarkable 2 and I use it practically every day. [...] The new marker requires charging. [...] Look at the features on the store page, both the Marker and Marker+ talk about wireless charging. Also, from their FAQ about the Marker: Will other digital pens work on reMarkable Paper Pro? [...] The new Markers have been custom-built for reMarkable Paper Pro’s Canvas Color display. Other digital pens, such as the Markers for reMarkable 2 or those developed by third parties, aren’t compatible with reMarkable Paper Pro. [...]

Just out of curiosity, have you heard of the Remarkable Paper Pro? [...]

I recently got a reMarkable Paper Pro with the keyboard folio and that's about as typewriter-esque as I would voluntarily choose to get.

I loved my 2. Still use it for some things. But I actually went all the way back to pen and paper after a while. I am tempted here...

[...] I got myself the reMarkable Paper Pro some months ago and I haven’t touched my iPad ever since (I use it mostly for studying and reading). The built feels very premium and the screen texture is amazing! [...]

A quick sketch on my Remarkable Paper Pro Move, imported into Clip Studio Paint on my iPad, then inked and coloured. drawing illustration

The drawing experience is better on my reMarkable Paper Pro than on my iPad Pro 12.9 The reMarkable stylus is waaaaaaaay more accurate than the Apple Pencil

[...] They literally stole my money!!! They have the worse customer service I have ever experienced. [...] Furthermore, the product is not all that great; cute at best…save your money and shop elsewhere……BUYERS BEWARE!!!!!!!!!!!

[...] I had one and could not get through the demo good thing I bought it at a reputable store that took it back when I explained how frustrating it was to get some of the most basic pen functions to work which were shown in the tutorial. [...] Even after adjusting the sensitivity of the screen or special pen. to me it was more trouble than it was worth even to try. [...] I could do better with the old Samsung note app on my phone and a stylus pen even though my phone screen is small at least I could jot down a note and save it the problem with that and what I was looking for was better looking penmanship because the samsung note app on a phone with a stylus only offers limited space and any letters you write come out looking like chicken scratch... so what I am saying is everything but the basic note taking options was firing off by means of the stylus and the remarkable scren when all I wanted to do was make a shopping list and save it in nice looking penmanship... I took it write back to the store I got it from and proceeded to show them how ridiculous it was to try and make a simple shopping list with out all this junk coming up that was triggered by the stylus and program that get bringing up pop up options and dialog boxes...

The software stabilty is absolute garbage on these… they regularly crash and force you to force restart the tablet… i have owned 2 paper pros so far and it was the same issue also dont count on the return policy, they sent me a "refurbished" device with a broken screen the first time… so yeah im not telling anyone how to spend their money but be careful with this product

[...] And the battery life is still good, so many years later. Just as a comment on battery replacement..i doubt you'll ever have to.

I have recently purchased reMarkable paper pro, and regretted instantly but unfortunately, it's purchased from a third party retailer, so I cannot return it. [...] Looks like after the recent firmware updates, you cannot create custom templates either. [...]

The best thing I bought this year: the Remarkable Paper Pro Interesting take on this! Read more technology

So what every other e-ink tablet offers you for free, you can have it with Remarkable for merely $30 per year. Excellent. Can I also be charged for breathing air please?

[...] The device is just horrible and I wish I never bought it. Boox Note Air 4C beats it in every category.

Top expensive. And is not like paper at all. I had one before.

[...] <3 And indeed, the tablet is the reMarkable Paper Pro Move tablet. I've had this one since its launch in early September. I prefer it to drawing on paper, which I prefer to drawing on an iPad screen. [...]

[...] If you are just using it for one area of your life, buying one the price point it’s at may not be worth it unless you take a ton of notes and have to keep track of many different things. [...] The case that includes a keyboard is elite for when you want to write while you are traveling (too bumpy to write with the pen in the car lol)!

[...] Looks like after the recent firmware updates, you cannot create custom templates either. [...]

[...] Looks like after the recent firmware updates, you cannot create custom templates either. [...]

[...] But I'd rather invest my money on saving up for vacation and paying off this reMarkable Paper Pro Move tablet I bought last month for journalling. [...]

Excellent review. On point without the waffle. I’ve purchased one and don’t regret. I don’t carry or use paper at all anyone and I think that’s the point of this device.

I've been using the new 7.3-inch reMarkable Paper Pro Move for a few days and... [...]

I have very bad ADHD and the Remarkable Paper Pro was definitely the right choice for me. [...] Supernote Manta X2, Boox note Air 4c, and the Remarkable Paper Pro. I bought the remarkable first and thought the flicker would truly bother me so I returned it. [...] While the remarkable feels great and the sound it makes...oof I love it. So I went back and rebought the remarkable paper pro. [...]

has your screen started to go more yellow? mine looked beautiful and white when i first got it.but now it’s significantly more yellow. 😢

i really need to be able to swap between 2 pencils faster. Battery life ain't good if u use it a lot. And the noises it make are quite audible, especially for younger people (cuz that's how ears work) pencil tips can wear down in 2 days (but that's the same with pencils) but except for that it's a great device. [...] I use it primarily at draft paper honestly. At this pace i'm saving about 300 euro's a year on paper and pencils

I am buying one of these and for the $630 price for just the unit I AM PISSED that there is no button for highlighting (or whatever you want to program it to) on the $129 PEN. REALLY hard to believe they would put this Pro Marker out without a button. [...] You can get SOOOO much more functionality on far cheaper devices (BUT I don't want all those features) so why can't I have the simple search text feature in a device that is routinely double the price of competitors.

[...] When reading larger ebooks on it, it randomly freezes when trying to swap to the next page - no matter your swiping, the page does not change for many tries. This is also ridiculous for such an expensive device. [...] I bought it for its larger size and its colors, however, it is a disappointment. For its price it is not worth.

So for my birthday, my parents and family got me a remarkable paper pro. Holy shit is it so fucking nice, been using it a shit tom to read and just write. If anyone else has one of these, tell me how you feel about it.

I just downloaded a color planner on mine and it’s so freakin nice. I can’t wait to use it for school next week but still feel like I want the supernote to take with me in the go and do even more writing on the go. My pdfs look great and I even downloaded a pdf version on my text book . So cool and everything works great

[...] PDF's are cheaper, lighter and I always have the book I need at the table. [...] The most important feature in my decision were the paper-size form factor (similar to TTRPG sourcebook size) and the color screen (which is important for conveying narrative from sourcebooks).

[...] The fact the frontlight is actually fitted incorrectly so it hangs into the bottom of the screen and into the top bezel is frankly laughable. The screen on mine was also really yellow - didnt think it would bother me but it's really gross. [...]

I got a new remarkable paper pro tablet Full color e-ink display 🧵

I tried boox max, and see why remarkable keeps their focus as I found the boox needlessly complicated. I returned the boox which is like dealing with the communist party bureaucracy (horrible). Bought the Remark pro and am happy. It does what it does well.

[...] The hardware is great, but the software is severely lacking. It doesn’t offer searching handwritten notes, it doesn’t offer shapes, it doesn’t offer filling in shapes, it only allows writing with 9 colors and highlighting with 6 colors, it doesn’t offer split screen multitasking, there’s no microSD slot or a way to connect a USB C drive to the device, and it doesn’t offer Kindle support. [...] Offering those basic software items can still make it “distraction free”. I picked up the Boox Note Air4 C and it can do all the things the rMPP can’t do, and then some, and it’s $150 USD cheaper! [...]

I'm catching up on comics I bought from Amazon's Kindle sale reading on my Remarkable Paper Pro (you have to De-DRM the Kindle books). Note: I like how letterer Bob Lappan signed is name in the credits. amzn.to/3PzCFnS

Useless product, useless software, useless customer service! [...] A company run by people that will take users money then the company will suddenly vanish leaving purchasers out of pocket, with no support or upgrades. [...]

[...] My desk used to be covered with paper, notes taken while on Zoom calls, notes from previous calls, and notes preparing for upcoming calls. [...] I love the texture of the screen and writing on it feels good. [...]
