reMarkable - Paper Pure – 10.3” Paper Tablet Bundle with Marker Plus and Sleeve Folio - Mist Green

The size and thickness of the Paper Pure notebook is perfect. Not too big to carry around while taking notes for my audits at work and not too small so I’m not turning pages or scrolling down frequently. Battery life is GREAT! Moderate use (2-4 hours a day) is about 2 weeks of battery life maybe more because I’ve never had it go below 30% charge before charging again after two weeks. I would like to see it come with a remarkable made folio instead of the sleeve. I would like the protection of a folio case instead of having to slide in/out the tablet from the sleeve. The sleeve has a very nice build quality to it.

I've wanted a reMarkable for ages, and am not disappointed at all! I use it both for work and for personal projects, and am able to easily sort and organize my handwritten notes. I can import a PDF to take notes directly, and I can send myself my documents by email or by connecting to my Dropbox or other cloud storage. I literally have used this every day since I got it a month ago. Also, the battery lasts a very long time - it's been almost two weeks since I plugged it in, and it's still at 45% power right now.

Bought it for my daughter who loves writing, she is fascinated with it!

Really neat notetaking tablet for those who prefer paper and pen. This is my first experience with a “paper” tablet and it honestly took some realigning of my expectations. The reMarkable Paper Pure Tablet has a lot less features than a regular one that runs on Android, iOS, or Windows, but it wasn’t designed for that either. It was built for aiding your workflow and if you’re a person who prefers the freedom and sketchability of a pen or pencil, then you’re in luck! The whole kit comes with a fabric hard shell case, 6 replaceable pen tips, pen, and USB-C charging cable. The pen magnetically docks to the side of the tablet, which is how it charges as well. The tablet charges through a USB-C port and features an amazing 3 weeks of battery life, so unless you’re really careless it’s ready when you need it! But you can be a little clumsy, because the body and screen are made with rugged plastic that’s prepared for day-to-day abuse. And let me tell you, this thing takes drops like a champ! And I appreciate that. The pen feels great in the hand too, with a nice weight and solid grip. It took me a while to realize the “eraser” end of the pen actually works like an eraser on the tablet screen, but I’m sure it was mentioned in the tutorial that I mostly skimmed through. Most of the features are pretty intuitive though and I’m impressed with how well it can read and convert handwriting to typed text. Usage wise, the screen responds quickly and accurately to touches. It feels a little slow on the refresh rate, but this tablet isn’t for playing videos or games, so it’s not a big deal. Everything you create can be tagged by keyword for easy searching later and you can import documents to the tablet by synching with Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, etc.. However, you can only export your files through email unless you pay for the Connect subscription, which I did not do. It does come with a free 50 day trial though, and at just $39.90 for the year it’s probably worth springing for. The Google and Microsoft integrations should make importing and exporting a breeze. And it gains extra abilities like being able to search your notes, unlimited cloud storage, and adding docs directly to your Google or Outlook calendar. There’s actually one more free method to share your docs and that’s through “Screen Share”, which connects through your web browser and acts like a mirror display for the tablet. But even better, because while the tablet screen is black and white the Screen Share output is in color. It was a nice surprise to see, but it’s still weird highlighting notes directly on the tablet, because every highlighter looks like a variation of gray on a black and white screen. I do wish the screen were a little brighter, but I can stare at it all day without getting eye fatigue, so maybe that’s a good thing. Overall, I can’t say that it feels like writing on actual paper, but it’s a great form of “digital paper”. It’s a fantastic alternative for sketching, taking notes, and marking up documents on the fly. A co-worker can send me an ad layout while I’m in the field and I can quickly import it, mark it up and send it back within minutes. I also love that it works in layers so it’s easy to edit through notes and design variations. This kind of tablet isn’t for everyone, but if your workflow requires a lot of marking things up or even if you simply prefer working with a “pen and paper”, I think you’ll love what the reMarkable Paper Pure tablet can do. PROS - Super long battery life (supposedly 3 weeks) - Good at reading/converting handwriting - Background templates are handy - Like that it works in layers - Feels durable - Handy for taking handwriting notes and sketching drawings - Keeps notes organized well - Can import files from Google Drive, Dropbox, and other apps - Can email sketches and notes to self for free - Screenshare works well and in color - Pen works well, feels solid - Screen is easy on the eyes CONS - Need subscription to get best use out of it - Wish it were brighter - No color - Highlighting color is essentially only light gray - Needs to pull out of case to use, can’t just flip case open - Can’t charge in case - Doesn’t feel like writing on paper as claimed

The reMarkable is the perfect notepad! I have loved using it. It’s easy to write on and beats having to write on pages. Best of all, I can convert my notes to text! I really appreciate that this comes with a folio case. You can purchase without, but I like the extra peace of mind. I’d like it if the case had a dedicated spot for the pen, but it’s ok because it magnetized to the side of the pad. I consider myself a very organized person. So I like that I can create tags and folders to keep my documents together where I see fit. I can see this being a fantastic tool for those in marketing and education. It’ll surely impress clients and coworkers. Something I’m not happy about is there’s not some sort of ability to backup your files. Hopefully a future update can address this. It’s app connected, so hopefully files can be stored in the app. I’m still diving deep into the templates. Love that I can easily select something based on my needs. The screen helps my eyes. I stare at a computer all day, so it’s super nice having the type of reflective screen it offers. Pros: Size Durability Screen clarity Magnetic pen Easy to use Convert notes to text Upload pdfs and other docs Battery life Folio case is fantastic Cons: Optional subscription for enhanced features Backup capabilities Overall: This is a must for a professional. It’s eye catching, practical and super helpful. I highly recommend this!!
