Before testing the new reMarkable Paper Pure earlier this year, I found the idea of e-ink \u2018paper tablets\u2019 a novelty at best. I couldn\u2019t understand why, when I already own an iPad<\/a>, I\u2019d want a device with far fewer bells and whistles. But after a few minutes, I was converted<\/a>. The writing experience on the Pure is, well, Pure \u2013 and suddenly it\u2019s all those bells and whistles that look like a novelty.<\/p>\n

But if I was a reMarkable guy then, I definitely am now. I\u2019ve been testing the company\u2019s more diminutive tablet, the Paper Pro Move, and it might just be my favourite gadget I\u2019ve 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\u2019t know I needed.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve extolled the virtues of writing on a \u2018paper tablet\u2019 elsewhere. But in short, if you haven\u2019t tried it, this feels as close to writing on paper as you can imagine. It makes writing on the glass screen of writing on an iPad feel like, I don\u2019t know, writing on glass. And the Paper Pro Move takes this brilliant writing experience and puts into a smaller yet more premium package.<\/p>\n

After using the Paper Pure, I was keen for a design that more closely resembled a notebook. The Paper Pro Move is as tall as a standard paperback, making it truly portable. I\u2019m therefore more likely to actually be carrying the thing when inspiration strikes, meaning I can actually scribble ideas down rather than having to take out the dreaded phone and open Notes.<\/p>\n

And because of its \u2018Pro\u2019 credentials, the Paper Pro Move features a more premium build quality than the plasticky Pure. Taking design cues from its bigger sibling, the Paper Pro, the smaller model features an aluminium body and colour display. Meanwhile, along with the book-like size, the backlight makes it a much more viable proposition as an e-reader than the bigger tablets.<\/p>\n

reMarkable\u2019s Pro tablets also enjoy more premium accessories. While the sage green fabric case for my Paper Pure is nice, it can\u2019t compare to the luxury feel of the Paper Pro Move\u2019s leather folio. For those of you of a certain vintage, it\u2019s like using a Filofax.<\/p>\n

There are minor niggles. For one thing, reMarkable\u2019s decision to use a different aspect ratio screen to the Paper Pure and Paper Pro make swapping between devices somewhat of a chore. Documents sync seamlessly, but because the Pro Move is taller and thinner, you\u2019re going to end with some cropping. Why reMarkable didn\u2019t decided to make the Pro Move a touch wider to preserve the aspect ratio is a mystery to me.<\/p>\n

So if you\u2019re hoping to use the Paper Pro Move as part of a reMarkable tablet ecosystem, you could be in for some frustration. But taken on its own, the Paper Pro Move is a delight. It\u2019s become my go-to notebook, one that I use for both work and my own personal writing.<\/p>\n

I would end with a pun about it being truly remarkable, but I\u2019m above that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Before testing the new reMarkable Paper Pure earlier this year, I found the idea of e-ink \u2018paper tablets\u2019…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":724440,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[59,86,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-724439","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-gb","tag-technology","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/724439","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=724439"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/724439\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/724440"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=724439"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=724439"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=724439"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
