Remarkable Paper Pure is a highly-impressive re-spin on the paper tablet concept

As always with Remarkable devices, handwriting is at the core of the device, but it's now augmented by extra software features, too

Remarkable Paper Pure

Handwriting tablet-maker Remarkable is back with the Paper Pure – a light but premium 10.3in tablet that seems like a proper successor to the Remarkable 2.

It’s 360g in weight and is super thin at just 6mm thick and uses the same textured writing surface as the flagship Remarkable Paper Pro which uses Remarkable’s third-generation canvas.

Remarkable claims that the tablet is up to twice as fast for navigating or zooming than the Remarkable 2.

As always with Remarkable devices, handwriting is at the core of the device, but it’s now augmented by more AI-enhanced software features that I saw demonstrated at a preview event, including the ability to create meeting notes to export to other services and templates that help you pre-fill information.

You can also import documents to the device, which are converted into the tablet’s format. You can also share handwritten and typed notes and sketches wherever you want and access your notes in a web browser and search the contents. This all requires Remarkable Connect which is $/£4 per month.

Remarkable Paper Pure certainly isn’t cheap – priced at $350/£359 yet it is competitive for a paper tablet. It does, however, come at a difficult time for the company which has recently made a huge slew of redundancies, including its CEO. We don’t really know how rival Amazon’s Kindle Scribe series is selling in contrast but estimates have put sales in the thousands of units per week.

The Remarkable Paper Pure will start shipping in June and comes with a Marker stylus. You can upgrade to include a case and a Marker Pro stylus for a further $40/£40. The Sleeve Folio case comes in three colours.

Remarkable is talking up the recyclability of this device and it is built with screws rather than glue to repairability should be good. There’s also a high level of recycled materials used in the device, including 90% of the magnesium used in the frame.

We’ll be bringing you a Remarkable Paper Pure review very soon.
