With a monochrome screen, reMarkable's new Paper Pure tablet returns to the fundamentals

reMarkable has unveiled its latest E Ink device, the Paper Pure, marking a return to its core focus on distraction-free, monochrome note-taking. Priced at $399, the new tablet replaces the aging reMarkable 2, which has been on the market for six years, and introduces a range of hardware and software upgrades aimed at modern users.

The Paper Pure features a 10.3-inch display, similar in size to its predecessor, but with a slightly wider design that improves readability and provides more space for writing. While the resolution remains unchanged at 1872 x 1404 pixels with a pixel density of 226 PPI, reMarkable says the updated form factor enhances the overall user experience for both reading and note-taking.

Under the hood, the device has received significant improvements. It now includes 32GB of storage — four times more than the reMarkable 2 — allowing users to store more documents, notes, and files. The tablet is also lighter, weighing just 360 grams, making it more portable for everyday use. Performance has been boosted as well, with the company claiming the Paper Pure is 50% more responsive, offering smoother writing and navigation. Additionally, the device delivers 30% better battery life thanks to its 3,820 mAh battery, ensuring longer usage between charges.

Beyond hardware, reMarkable has focused heavily on software enhancements to keep the Paper Pure competitive in today’s productivity market. The tablet now supports a web app, enabling users to access and manage their notes from other devices. It also introduces calendar syncing, allowing users to organize and link notes to specific meetings, making it easier to stay productive.

Cloud integration is another key upgrade. Users can import documents from various cloud storage services, which are automatically converted into a notebook format optimized for annotation and reading on the device. The Paper Pure also features improved handwriting recognition and search capabilities, making it easier to find specific notes quickly.

Collaboration has been enhanced through integrations with tools like Slack and Miro. These integrations allow users to convert handwritten notes into typed text and share them directly with teams, as well as upload sketches and ideas for collaborative work.

The base model of the Paper Pure comes with a standard stylus, while a premium $449 version includes the Marker Plus stylus, which features an eraser function, along with a protective folio sleeve available in multiple colors. Orders for the device are open now, with shipping expected to begin in early June.

As part of this launch, reMarkable confirmed it will phase out production of the reMarkable 2, although existing users will continue to receive software updates and support. The company also highlighted its growing ecosystem, noting it has sold over 3.5 million devices and has 1.2 million subscribers to its Connect service, which offers cloud storage, templates, and sharing features.

With the Paper Pure, reMarkable is reinforcing its position in the niche of focused, distraction-free digital writing tools, while adding enough modern features to stay relevant in an increasingly competitive tablet market.
