In the realm of e-ink writable tablets, there are few brands as prominent as reMarkable – a brand that almost pioneered the space back in 2017 with the release of the first reMarkable. These nifty devices (think of a blending of an iPad and a Kindle) allow users to draw and write on a tablet surface that uses an electronic ink display in place of a more traditional pixel one and was – until recently – locked to the monochromatic space. With the recent release of the reMarkable Paper Pro, the brand is brought into the world of color with its special E-INK Gallery 3 technology in addition to handy features like a front-lit screen so you can work on it in the dark, writing to text conversion, and gesture controls for things like undoing something, scaling the documents or images, and maneuvering between pages.
I have had a chance to spend a few weeks with one, and I've fallen in love with its minimalist approach that promotes focus and efficiency (no apps or things for me to get distracted with). For me though, from the moment I saw the first trailer for the device, all I could think about is how awesome of a tool the device could be for nerdy things – like the best tabletop RPGs. Want an example? Here are the various ways that the reMarkable Paper Pro can be a neat tool for tabletop hobbyists.
