reMarkable Paper Pro in short
  • More reMarkable: Larger 11.8-inch display
  • Canvas Colour display: E-paper display that can render 20,000 colours
  • Backlight: Adjustable backlight for late-night reading and less glare in the day
  • Same two-week battery life: Bigger 5,040mAh battery to support backlight and colour display
  • More storage: 64GB internal storage, up from 8GB with the reMarkable 2

A mainstay in JB HI-FI stores across Australia, the reMarkable 2 e-paper tablet has earned its shelf space next to the Apple iPads and Kindle e-readers of the world.

The distraction-free device may seem like a luxury at first glance, but it's a rare piece of tech that offers writers and doodlers a bridge to the internet-connected world without any of the Facebook requests or incessant LinkedIn notifications that come with it.

Now, four years after the reMarkable 2's release, the company has revealed its successor: the reMarkable Paper Pro.

With a 30% larger 11.8-inch display, the reMarkable Paper Pro's core difference is its 'Canvas Colour' display and a bright backlight for nighttime work.

There are nine different base colours to draw with, but shader sliders will allow reMarkable users to refine their palette. 

During the announcement, the importance of reMarkable's app-free nature was reiterated; that's not going to change, thankfully.

reMarkable and AI

Despite being a tech company through and through, reMarkable's product design philosophy is the antithesis of the Apples and Googles of the world; something designed exclusively for creativity, rather than becoming the everything tool of your life.

Naturally, we were worried that the AI virus could have spread to Oslo where the reMarkable was made, but in a short Q&A with the company's leadership team, the topic of AI was broached and quickly put to restwith  a refreshingly straightforward response: the user comes first.

If only Google were so sensible about this whole fad when marketing its Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Fold
