reMarkables new Paper Pure tablet goes back to basics with a monochrome screen

After exploring the bigger market for productivity tablets featuring color displays with the Paper Pro and the smaller Paper Pro Move, E Ink tablet maker reMarkable is returning to its roots with a new monochrome device called the Paper Pure. The new, $399 Paper Pure succeeds the monochrome reMarkable 2 after six years, and comes with more powerful hardware as well as modern software features that make it competitive in today’s tablet market. The Paper Pure has a 10.3-inch display when measured diagonally, the same as the reMarkable 2, but the new one is wider, which, the company says, makes it easier to take notes and read text. Notably, the resolution hasn’t changed between the two tablets, staying at 1872 x 1404 pixels with a pixel density of 226 PPI. The tablet also comes with 32GB of storage, four times the amount you got on its predecessor, and is also about 40 grams lighter, weighing 360 grams.

The company has added a slew of new features to the tablet to bring it up to par with modern productivity tools, including support for a web app. The Paper Pure lets you sync your calendar, as well as take and share notes for a particular meeting. And if you import documents from cloud storage services, the online sync service will automatically convert them into a notebook suited for reading and annotating on the tablet itself. The company said it also comes with better handwriting search capabilities. The Paper Pure integrates with Slack, too, so you can convert handwritten notes into typed text that you can share. It also integrates with collaboration tool Miro, letting you share sketches and the like. Techcrunch event San Francisco, CA | October 13-15, 2026 The Norwegian company said it now plans to sunset production of the reMarkable 2, but will still offer software updates and support to existing customers. The Paper Pure’s base model comes bundled with a stylus, and the costlier $449 version gets you a fancier stylus, dubbed Marker Plus, that includes an eraser function, plus a sleeve folio in various colors. Users can order the device starting today, and shipping is expected to start in early June. The company said it has sold more than 3.5 million devices so far, and that it has 1.2 million subscribers for its Connect service, which offers unlimited cloud storage, exclusive templates, and the ability to create links to share notes or sketches.
