FollowSee All by Andrew Liszewski is a senior reporter who’s been covering and reviewing the latest gadgets and tech since 2006, but has loved all things electronic since he was a kid. Remarkable announced a new paper tablet today — albeit one without the advanced color screen found in its recent Paper Pro and Paper Pro Move tablets. The new Remarkable Paper Pure instead features an upgraded version of the black-and-white E Ink display found in the Remarkable 2 that launched over six years ago, and once again skips any screen lighting.

Thanks to the new display and under-the-hood upgrades, the company says the Paper Pure is twice as fast at “navigating, zooming, and turning pages” when compared to the Remarkable 2. The Remarkable Paper Pure is available for preorder today for $399 through the company’s online store, with shipping expected to start in early June. That’s the same price as the Remarkable 2, which the Paper Pure will replace, and cheaper than the $449 Paper Pro Move and larger $629 Paper Pro tablets.

Industry Implications

Remarkable created a new Sleeve Folio case available in three color options to store and protect the Paper Pure when not in use. Image: RemarkableThe Paper Pure will also be available as part of a more expensive $449 bundle that adds an upgraded stylus with a dedicated eraser button on the end and a Sleeve Folio case in ocean blue, mist green, and desert pink color options. 99/month or $39/year Connect subscription is also available, adding unlimited cloud storage and advanced features like editing notes in Remarkable’s apps, searching handwritten notes, and sending documents straight to services like Slack.

3-inch third-generation Canvas E Ink screen is the same size and resolution as the Remarkable 2’s, but the company calls it its “whitest yet. ” It’s based on E Ink’s Carta 1300 display, which offers improved contrast and refresh speeds.

This advance offers important signals about the future of the sector, and the tech world is watching closely.
