WIREDRetains the price tag of the older Re Markable 2. Improved contrast and responsiveness. Brighter white base than previous Re Markable tablets. Better battery life.TIREDNo accessories beyond a protective folio. No front light or color features. Still not as long a battery life as the Kindle Scribe.If you're looking for a digital notebook, there's a changing of the guard underway. ReMarkable is the most popular digital notebook maker, and its flagship tablet—the ReMarkable 2—has been around for six years, launched in 2020. But, as of today, a new tablet will now take its place in ReMarkable’s lineup: the ReMarkable Paper Pure ($399). The Paper Pure is available to order starting today but will begin shipping in early June.
The naming convention changed from the simple numbers ReMarkable used for its earlier models to one that matches ReMarkable's more recent digital notebooks, the ReMarkable Paper Pro and the ReMarkable Paper Pro Move, from 2024 and 2025, respectively. The ReMarkable Paper Pure is also named this way because the company intends it to be purely for writing notes. That means there are no extras: no built-in front light, no color, and no accessories beyond a protective folio you can add on.
