But needless to say, the Remarkable Paper Pro that I have here is the best, highest end, largest e- ink with color option that you can get from Remarkable. There is also the Remarkable Paper Pro Move. Most of what happens on the Paper Pro is transferable on that device, but it's in a much more compact footprint.Watch M Mark Franks Tech Reviews Mark Franks Tech Reviews · 18K subscribers · May 2025
Today, I reviewed the Remarkable Paper Pro. This E-ink writing tablet is one of the most paperlike tablets out there right now, and with the introduction of color, it just makes it that much better. This tablet also now has a nightlight so you can write and read in the dark. Join me in this very thorough review showcasing the features and functionality of the new Remarkable Paper ProWatch A
I fell in love with the Remarkable Paper Pro Move. I know that sounds cheesy. I know you’re wondering just how bad this article is going to get, and all I can say is … it’s bad. Really bad. I’m head over heels for an e-ink tablet and it doesn’t even know my name.Read D David @ Tablet Tech David @ Tablet Tech · 9.1K subscribers · Mar 2026
So, number seven is I believe that the Remarkable devices, specifically the Remarkable Paper Pro because of the color, handles hyperlinked PDF notebooks better than any other device out thereWatch N

After using the reMarkable paper pro move for about 3 months the miniature version has a lot of things to like but also some downsides. It is a unique size in the E Ink world but that size is a mixed bag for pure notetaking and PDFs/EPUBs. Here are my thoughts and some explanations of what I like and what I find annoying.Watch M My Deep Guide My Deep Guide · 68.3K subscribers · Oct 2024
Well, I've been living with and using the Remarkable Paper Pro on a daily basis as my one and only e-ink device for the past 3 and a half weeks. This is my review of this device, based on this real-world experience. It does certain things like no other device on the market, but certain compromises had to have been made, and this means that not everyone will be ok with those compromisesWatch Y
It's definitely more life-proof feeling and less premium than the other two tablets I mentioned and also the reMarkable 2. It's light at 360 g. It's relatively thin at 6 mm, which is thicker than the reMarkable 2, famously an ultra-thin slate. It doesn't feel like the same sliver of aluminum either. This is plastic.Watch A A Designer's Life A Designer's Life · 6K subscribers · Nov 2024
But yeah, that's been my long-term review of the new remarkable Paper Pro. It is absolutely the best device in this class if this is what you want it to be able to do, but I do feel like it is severely overpriced for what it can do at this moment. Hopefully, remarkable will continue to ship software updates and make this product better and better and better cuz I did feel like the remarkable 2 that I owned for years and years got better and better over timeWatch Y
At first glance, the reMarkable Paper Pro Move seems like the ideal travel-friendly note-taking tablet: a good compact build; useful color E Ink; and solid features, now even with handwriting search. But the closer I looked, the more it became clear that the portability comes at a cost.Watch H Hacker News Hacker News thread
I love the Paper Pro. It provides me with an environment of deep thinking. It feels too big to carry all day long and I always felt even with the Type Folio I didn't want to damage the screen. I just ordered a Paper Pro Move to carry with me.Read thread T The Tavern Dom · reviewer
The new Paper Pro Move addresses some of those gaps. It is smaller (more like a reporter's note book than a Moleskine), feels more robust, and has the bonus of a colour screen.Read S
After a year, the ReMarkable Paper Pro is a (slightly) better valueRead M
The Paper Pro earns an 8.7. It loses points for the additional cost of entry (Marker Plus sold separately adds $79 to the already premium $629 base price), for the weight that limits where you’ll actually use it, and for the lack of Bluetooth connectivity that would make it a more complete tool for musicians.Read

Reading on the Remarkable Paper Pro is an exercise in frustrationWatch R r/RemarkableTablet u/Main_Safe_2336 · owner
I agree, the ebook text formatting options seem broken on the Move. The only usable margin option is the widest one, bringing the edges of the text close to the edge of the screen. But because these settings seem to sync to my Paper Pro, you end up having to adjust the margins whenever you switch between devices.Read thread
