Customer Ratings & Reviews

As a PhD student, my life revolves around research papers. PDFs, journal articles, books – they pile up, both physically and digitally, and the strain of reading them on a backlit screen is a constant battle. Enter the Remarkable Paper Pro, and I can honestly say it has been nothing short of a revelation. This isn't just an e-reader; it's a dedicated research companion that has transformed my academic workflow. The star of the show is, without a doubt, the stunning e-ink display. It's not just "easy on the eyes"; it's a complete paradigm shift. Gone are the headaches, the eye strain, and the digital fatigue that come with staring at an LCD for hours. The Paper Pro's screen replicates the experience of reading on actual paper so perfectly that I often forget I'm looking at a device. The clarity, the contrast, and the complete lack of glare mean I can read for extended periods – truly deep dive into complex methodologies and theoretical arguments – without my eyes giving out. This translates directly into reading more research papers, more effectively. Before the Paper Pro, the sheer volume of reading felt daunting. Now, I find myself actively wanting to pick it up. The friction has been removed. Highlighting, annotating, and making margin notes feels natural and intuitive, much like I would with a physical printout, but with the added benefits of digital organization. I can easily export my notes, search through them, and access them across devices, which is invaluable when juggling multiple projects and literature reviews. For a PhD student, this device is a perfect fit. It's not about consuming content passively; it's about active engagement with complex texts. The Paper Pro facilitates this beautifully, allowing me to fully immerse myself in the research without the digital noise and distractions that often plague laptops and tablets. If your academic life involves a substantial amount of reading, and you're tired of digital eye strain, the Remarkable Paper Pro isn't just a good purchase – it's an essential investment in your academic well-being and productivity. It's the closest you'll get to reading on paper, with all the benefits of the digital age, and it has genuinely made me a more efficient and comfortable researcher.

Love it and hate it at the same time Love writing feeling and colors option But red is not really red it’s more like orange And weight is not heavy for me it doesn’t bother me but page turning not always working smoothly it bothers a lot and pdf files support is pretty limited overall if this device was under $500 with marker plus then maybe worth it But in this price I don’t think it’s worth it

This remarkable tablet as been on my radar for a bit. I just now chose to get it since i wanted a tablet to start practicing drawing. this is a decent option for that. and thats quiet a trend for this product. being decent at a lot of things. its decent with its colors, its decent with its epub support, its decent with its fonts. its a decent product. is it worth 650 because of that? not really. but its nice for what i use it for. its great for reading, marking up pdf's, its great for sketching and maybe adding a little color, and its great for reading at night because of the night light. so, for what i use it for, its pretty great. its a very niche tool i think. but if that fits you, its a great choice.

Excellent product but not for everyone. I have experience with other e-ink devices like the Kindle Scribe and the Boox Go 10.3 but I wanted to see colors in the books and articles that I read so I opted to change to the Remarkable Paper Pro. If you are considering buying it, it will all depend on your preferences and workflow. Research as much as you can before deciding, you must have some specific features that you need from the Remarkable ecosystem to truly enjoy the product. The features that I use the most are the ability to extend the page to have more room to write and the desktop app to transfer large books, articles and pdfs. Personally I don’t use the backlight as much since I prefer natural light. Since you don’t have AppStore or PlayStore some people are not convinced with the high price. I think the quality of the tablet and the experience of writing and drawing is probably the best in the market. I’d say that you will still depend on your PC/laptop to transfer your documents so if you think this will replace your laptop this might not be for you. If you really need the apps just get an iPad and apple pencil with a matte screen. E-ink is still a growing field but it’s fun and maybe you should give it a try.

I used to carry two notebooks with me—one for taking quick notes and tracking my activities and tasks, and another as an agenda for my clients. However, it was quite tedious to find the right page when I needed it or to maintain the level of organization I required. I also felt a lot of social pressure due to the huge amount of paper I wasted each month. With the Remarkable, all of that is in the past. I now have precise and efficient control of all my notes at work. It has helped me increase the productivity of my activities with its planning and agenda templates. Additionally, I literally have one notebook per client, jotting down practically everything I might need in the future. When I visit that specific client again, we pick up the conversation exactly where we left off—helping me close more sales and positioning myself as a true Elite Business Partner for them. Another advantage is that I can use it to read my books and PDFs, also saving me from printing certain documents and allowing me to carry everything I need with me. There are many comparisons with other tablets, but the Remarkable’s approach—and its target user—is different. If you're truly looking for the feeling of writing on paper, but in a digital format, along with the ability to have an unlimited number of notebooks, books, and notes, all elegantly organized and without distractions along the way, then Remarkable is without a doubt the best option available on the market.

I love this tablet! It feels just like writing on real paper. The pen is easy to use and super smooth. The screen has a light, so I can use it at night too. It’s great for taking notes, reading, or just writing things down. If you like writing by hand, you’ll really enjoy this! And I have put a nice cover for it. So it looks exactly like a book!!

I have an issue writing on normal electronic tablets but this was the perfect tablet for taking notes. I use it for sketching, note taking, and annotating pdfs. The price is steep but I've already gotten a lot of use out of it and all my friends like to take turns trying it out. If you have the money I recommend this, but it cannot search the web or download apps. It is a paper electronic tablet

This has been a lifesaver! I am a nursing student, and I have quite a few assignments that have to be handwritten then uploaded. This is now just a simple few clicks and I am done. I also have quite a few study guides that are in color. I originally had the previous version, but it was only black and white. With upgrading to the color version, my study guides are easier to study. Plus, I can now see what I highlight.

PROS + Writing on the reMarkable Paper Pro feels natural, responsive, and accurate; much better than writing on any tablet I have ever used + Display supports color in addition to the traditional e-Ink black & white + Text and reading material is very stable, and “newspaper-like” is quality + Several stylus software styles/options (such as Pen, Marker, Highlighter, Pencil, etc.), that all look and feel different + Supports connection to cloud storage services like Google Drive, Dropbox, & OneDrive + Can load and markup a variety of documents like PDFs + Able to easily send notes to/from the Paper Pro + ~46GB of usable onboard storage + Cloud storage syncing & screen share through the reMarkable app + Stylus charges wirelessly when magnetically attached to the Paper Pro + Battery life on the Paper Pro is very good + Large screen yet very thin, lightweight, and comfortable to use + Comes with spare marker tips for the stylus + Backlight is a nice addition for low-light scenarios, and while not blazingly bright, does help tremendously if working in darker environments, and is gently on the eyes CONS - Color options for drawing are a bit limited & less accurate when it comes to reds (which look more orange on the device, although print/render fine when shared to other screens) - Screen responsiveness to the pen is great, but scrolling and typing with your fingers has a noticeable delay before the screen refreshes - Most colors don’t sync/display fully until after you are done editing and the screen can refresh fully - For screen sharing & automatic cloud syncing you need a reMarkable account and app for syncing with reMarkable’s cloud services, which may raise security concerns around storing sensitive and/or secure content/notes in the cloud - There is an additional subscription fee for the reMarkable Connect service SO-SO * At this premium, I wish it came with even a basic carrying case * Some ghosting/slowly fading impressions of content, specifically colored content, after being erased which can still be seen for a short period time on the display before slowly fading away THE LONG AND SHORT OF IT The reMarkable Paper Pro is a very good device, that has a lot expected of it and largely delivers. As someone who has always preferred pen and paper note taking, but has long gone the way of transitioning to digital notes, I have had a lot of fun using the reMarkable Paper Pro to bridge the gap using digital notebooks. The stylus looks and feels like a real pen, and when writing, feels almost like pen & paper, or at least as close to it as I have ever experienced over many years of using digital writing tools. The screen has a matte, almost paper-like texture to it, that when combined with the low-latency of the stylus, software, and feedback, feels extremely natural. There was almost zero learning curve for me as I got up to speed taking notes, drawing pictures (which I am far from an artist at), marking up content, and more. I found that connecting lines, filling in gaps, and staying in place with continuous drawing is all seamless. There are assistance features when working with content. You can do things like connecting two points with a straight line quickly, using the back of the stylus as an eraser, being able to circle content to edit it, move it, convert it to printed text based on your handwriting, and do bulk erasing based on marked-up areas. When working in notebooks, there is a toolbar you can pull-up which has a variety of stylus pen styles you can choose from, colors, line widths, eraser styles, notebook settings, layers, and more. There is a lot of control and customizability you can do, if you spend the time to learn and find what works for you and your uses. ReMarkable also provides some nice on-device guides for getting started and learning the ropes of the device. From an integration standpoint, it is easy to add notes/documents to the device through cloud syncing and/or sideloading content, as well as creating your own folder/notebook/file structures. You can choose different paper types like lists, line paper, empty canvases, or grid paper for your projects, and can build notebooks/content however you would like to organize it, then save it all to the cloud or email it to your other devices. There is also a screen share option where you can share your content to a device in real-time using the reMarkable desktop app, however in this case you do need to be using the reMarkable cloud services, which brings me to my first complaint, which is the online nature of the device. You can get a lot of utility out of the device without being connected online, but once connected and creating an account, the device will automatically start syncing with the reMarkable cloud, which can be an issue if you are concerned about taking confidential notes for example. I wish reMarkable did a better job of communicating where and how cloud data is being stored/used & encrypted, as it takes a bit of digging to understand. For the average user this likely won’t be an issue or something you think about, but for others it may be a deal-breaker depending on your needs. Aside from that, the rest of the device hardware and software is top-notch. One nice additional feature is that you can display color with a version of the Gallery “Canvas Color” display that the device uses. While colors can sometimes look a bit muted (like they would be printed on newspaper for example), they do have a very natural quality to them. The one noticeable limitation is in the number of colors you can use (in most cases up to 9) and while they are all of the primary colors you would expect, reds tend to be the most impacted, coming out closer to orange on the display (but they look fine when displayed on a normal LED screen). Also, you do tend to get a bit of ghosting/fading with content, specifically colored content, after it is erased/moved on the screen. It doesn’t get in the way of new content, but it can look a bit like a “dirty screen effect” you might see on a TV screen, where shadows of older content remain for a bit before the screen refreshes enough times and they clear. Which speaking of screen refreshes, also is a bit of a pro/con. While the screen is very responsive for editing, when scrolling/moving objects, there is a noticeable delay in the screen, followed by a full screen refresh which, when paired with colors other than black and white, leads to colors “resetting” for a few seconds before they take on their normal color. Maybe a nitpick, but if you are an artist or creative who is highly dependent on color, this is not the device I would recommend for those reasons alone. This device is clearly made for business first, and color is geared more towards mark-ups and labeling, rather than true creative designs & artwork. Finally, in terms of the battery life, backlight, and other hardware, it is all excellent. ReMarkable quotes around 2 weeks of battery life, and while I haven’t tested this fully, I do personally find I am getting less than that, but still more than enough (about 1-1.5 weeks), with my heavier usage of the device. The backlight is pretty good, and while not transcendently bright, does make the device easier to use in low light conditions. The back of the device is also magnetic, so if you want to buy an official or aftermarket magnetic case/keyboard for example, it works great. Overall, I do really like the reMarkable and I have been enjoying using it a lot as my daily notetaking device and portable whiteboard. There is no getting around that it is a premium device though, if it justifies that price is going to be a pretty personal question to your needs. This is not a full featured tablet, and will not replace a computer or tablet for any kinds of serious computing needs. This is strictly positioned to be a notetaking and mark-up focused device first, and that is what you should go in expecting. It melds pen and paper with technology and cloud sharing better than any device I have ever used, but I would recommend doing your research to understand if this is something you really need. It isn’t perfect, and I can see several ways reMarkable can improve on this in the future with more iterations, but it is great in most cases and I would recommend it if budget is not an issue.

I’m obsessed, it’s helped so much with efficiency and organization and it’s unbelievably lightweight. I’ve already got all my friends to buy one!

This product is highly recommended for everyone. It’s an excellent digital paper tablet and very easy to navigate.

I purchased a remarkable pro after seeing it in action during an office meeting. This seemed to be an ideal purchase for quick access and ability to carry around easily due to size and weight. I noticed a few things immediately after receiving my remarkable. First annoyance to me was how hard it was to see the writing. No matter which pen choice or color option , it was just way too light. I attempted to adjust the screen lighting to see if that would help, well it didnt. I initially reverted back to my ipad. After ignoring the remarkable for about a week or so, I visited their website, watched a few videos and tried to get a better understanding of the product in hopes of fixing the issue with visibilty. Well that did not work, I was following all suggestions and nothing changed. I gave up for another week and thought maybe this would not work for me. However I still wanted to better understand why there were so many positive reviews ,yet my experience was not a positive one. A few weeks later I attempted one more time to make use of this very pricey tablet and at that time things went downhill. When I opened the protective case and began taking notes, I could literally see a small hairline crack move completely across my screen. I was very puzzled by this because I did not understand why a crack was appearing right before my eyes. I immediately contacted remarkable because I was thinking they could assist. I expected the rep to offer a replacement. I did not want my money back , was not trying to put blame on them for the damage at all. I was being very honest about what I witnessed and perhaps about 15 mind into my conversation the agent advised me that my warranty had passed and my only option was to purchase another tablet. Completely Insane. This was not the first interaction with horrible service. I initially made my first purchase of the remarkable directly from remarkables website. Later the same day as my online purchase I realized BESTBUY had the tablet in stock. I was thrilled. I could get the remarkable the same day instead of waiting 3-5 business days. So I immediately called temarkable to inquire about canceling the order so I could head to Bestbuy and make my putchase the same day. Oddly the agent told me it was too late to cancel the order because the item was already being picked at the warehouse. My only option would be to wait until the item ships and refuse delivery. My refund would be granted once the item was returned back to the warehouse. None of that made sense to me, as I have worked in retail over 20 years and never have I heard of a purchase not being able to cancel within the same day. Nonetheless, I didnt cause a fuss. I just went ahead and made a purchase through bestbuy which I was thrilled to pick up at the store on the same day that I made the online order to them. About two weeks later I realized remarkable still had not provided me with shipping information for my original order. I called their customer support line and was advised by the agent that they didnt have shipping info for me yet because the item had not shipped yet. I was furious. Not only was I lied to during my original call but this new agent is telling me I still cant get a refund because the order is being process. I advised the agent that I would reach out to complain with their local AG office and I would also post a complaint with the BBB. Then the agent asked me to hold off while they work with the warehouse to cancel the order. They had it canceled the following day and my refund was posted about 5 days later. My issue is not with Bestbuy. The service from Bestbuy was perfect. My issue is with Remarkable. I would not advise anyone to purchase any remarkable product. The service is horrible and the products have a lowsy warranty. I should have purchased the protection plan from Bestbuy, but I never would have imagined that Remarkable would have such lowsy service since they adverstise a 1yr warranty on their product. They warranty that if unsatisfied after 1 yr they will provide a full refund. I was not looking for a refund, I only wanted to have my item repaired or replaced and didnt expect that their policy was horrible for what I consider as defective , not damaged. Lesson learned, stick with products that have companies that back them as much as they advertise.

Excellent for writing. I was afraid that I may not like the Remarkable, because I have never tried one before. Couldn't be more happy with the purchase. Is it expensive? Yes. Is it good? For sure it is.

I cant get enough of this remarkable. I use this for everything and it has made things so simple these last few weeks.

The Remarkable Pro is my first “paper tablet”. I’ve had an iPad since they were first released and various Android tablets over the years with pen support. However, nothing I’ve had previously comes close to the ReMarkable Pro’s ability to mimic the sensation of writing on actual paper instead of a piece of glass. There is nearly zero latency when writing and the surface has the right amount of friction with a subtle amount of give that makes it feel like writing on a thick stack of papers. It also produces a nice scribble sound as you write. In all honesty, I find it more satisfying to write on this than actual paper. There are multiple types of simulated writing utensils including pens, pencils, markers, paintbrushes and a highlighter. You can change the width from thin, medium, and thick along with your choice of 9 colors including black. I haven’t truly found much use for the colors as I am typically fine just writing in black for my note taking. However, I do like that I can highlight things in different colors just as if I was using a real highlighter. I should note I feel the colors are muted, none of them are bright in any way. Red looks more like a dull orange, and Blue looks too close to black. The Green, Magenta, and Cyan look the best in my opinion as a contrast to black ink. Yellow is good for a highlight. There are also multiple paper types simulating real paper such as grid, college ruled, wide ruled, even ones for music tablature or guitar chords. Out of the box the paper tablet asks if you are left-handed or right-handed which will move the controls to your non-dominant side. I’m left-handed so I appreciate this a lot and it can be easily changed in settings. Because it’s e-ink it’s easy to see in daylight and for nighttime use it includes an adjustable backlight. It’s a subtle and not super bright light but provides just enough light to see the paper tablet even in a dark room. I really like this feature because if I’m working at night, I don’t use much light in my office which would obviously make it hard to take notes on regular paper. I was also impressed with the handwriting recognition as I am someone who has poor handwriting and other software usually fails to convert my handwriting to text reliably. The ReMarkable does a fairly good job but I admit due to how little I’ve been able to rely on this feature in the past I don’t really convert my handwriting to text often and probably won’t start any time soon. In addition to writing, you can also read epub books or pdf files. They are easy to send to the ReMarkable by uploading them to your Remarkable on their website. In addition, you can use the mobile apps to send documents and books to the paper tablet. There are also browser extensions you can download that can send a webpage to the Remarkable. Works fairly well but really depends on the content of the page as it'll mostly grab the text content. I really like the screen share feature which allows you to mirror the content of the paper tablet to your desktop. You then can share it on Zoom or Teams conference calls and draw stuff out by hand, much like a whiteboard. Battery life has been great as would be expected for an e-ink screen. The best part is it’ll stay on for most of the office day unlike a regular tablet which would need to stay plugged in or constantly awakened. I’d say the biggest downside is that it only does two things which are reading and writing. However, it does so without any distractions. There will be no emails, social media, or anything to distract you from what you are doing. As only a reader, it works fine, but there are better options out there as the biggest limitation with the Remarkable is that you can’t read DRM-enabled books such as those from Kindle. There is not an app store available to download apps that can either. As a writing tool though its leagues above anything else I’ve seen. Pros: Excellent and Incredibly Responsive Writing Experience Intuitive Gestures Can Study or Write/Doodle with Zero Distractions Large 11.8” color e-ink display 64GB of storage Soft Backlight Includes Pen Convert Handwriting to Text Backup Notes with Connect Service (requires subscription) Sync with Mobile Apps 1-year warranty (3 years with active Connect plan) Cons: Limited to Writing (or Drawing) and Reading Does not support DRM protected ebooks Overall – the Remarkable Pro has me taking notes again on “paper” instead of typing them on my laptop. With less distractions I’m more productive and it’s super easy to throw in a bag for travel. Highly recommended for anyone with a desk job or a student who takes a lot of notes.

As an aooraiser, im able to sketch out the plot plans, make notes and send as is, or form it in a text .

More useful than predicted. I use it for work, music and shopping lists. Now I don’t forget anything when my wife sends me to the store because it syncs to my phone :-D

It’s awesome. Just makes want to write and write just cause it feels so smooth.

Excellent product. Helped me replace my stacks of notes! Great battery life.

This is a truly wonderful product. The screen displays vibrant colors, it offers various pen types, and it connects seamlessly with your devices, eliminating the need for additional paper notebooks.
