The reMarkable Paper Pure is the company's most affordable digital notebook, launched in early May to replace the reMarkable 2. Priced at £359 with the basic Marker pen included, it offers a distraction-free writing experience with an e-ink screen that mimics paper. The device is designed for those who miss the tactile feel of pen on paper but want the convenience of digital sharing.
The new model is faster than its predecessor, with reduced latency for a more natural writing feel. The battery lasts a third longer, thanks to a 3,820mAh cell, and storage has increased from 8GB to 32GB. The design is more compact, with a narrower bezel and a white frame that makes the display appear more immersive. The 10.3-inch screen is the crispest and whitest yet from reMarkable, though it lacks a front light, requiring ambient light to use.
Writing on the Paper Pure feels close to real paper due to the rough, matte finish of the display, which provides resistance. The included Marker pen snaps magnetically to the edge for charging, and an upgraded Marker Plus with an eraser is available for £40 extra. The device can convert handwriting to printed text with good accuracy, allowing for corrections via an onscreen keyboard.
The interface is intentionally minimalist, which may require a learning curve, but it becomes intuitive over time. The Paper Pure is lighter than the reMarkable 2, weighing 43g less, and is slightly thicker to accommodate the larger battery. Overall, it offers a focused, paper-like experience for note-taking and document annotation.
