Before testing the new reMarkable Paper Pure earlier this year, I found the idea of e-ink ‘paper tablets’ a novelty at best. I couldn’t understand why, when I already own an iPad, I’d want a device with far fewer bells and whistles. But after a few minutes, I was converted. The writing experience on the Pure is, well, Pure – and suddenly it’s all those bells and whistles that look like a novelty.
But if I was a reMarkable guy then, I definitely am now. I’ve been testing the company’s more diminutive tablet, the Paper Pro Move, and it might just be my favourite gadget I’ve used in the last few years. There are a couple of minor issues, but overall is this is the premium yet portable paper tablet that, until a few months ago, I didn’t know I needed.
