The next E Ink digital notepad from Remarkable goes beyond the color screen

Remarkable announced a new paper tablet today — albeit without the advanced color display found on its latest product Pepper Pro and Paper Transfer Pro Tablets. The new Remarkable Paper Pure instead features an upgraded version of the black and white E Ink display Found in Awesome 2 Launched over six years ago, it once again goes beyond any screen lighting. Thanks to the new display and upgrades under the hood, the company says the Paper Pure is twice as fast at “navigating, zooming, and turning pages” compared to the device. Note 2.

Remarkable Paper Pure is available for pre-order today for $399 through Company online storeShipping is expected to begin 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 the larger $629 Paper Pro tablets.

The Paper Pure will also be available as part of a more expensive $449 bundle that adds an upgraded pen with a dedicated eraser button on the end and a Sleeve Folio in Ocean Blue, Misty Green, and Desert Pink color options. An optional Connect subscription is also available for $3.99 per month or $39 per year, which adds unlimited cloud storage and advanced features like editing notes in Remarkable apps, searching handwritten notes, and sending documents directly to services like Slack.

Paper Pure’s third-generation 10.3-inch Canvas E Ink display has the same size and resolution as the Remarkable 2, 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. The tablet itself is slightly shorter and thicker than the Remarkable 2 at 6mm, but it weighs 360g, while its predecessor weighed roughly 404g.

Part of the weight saving comes from the plastic back cover which is now secured with screws and snaps for easier repair. However, the Paper Pure uses a larger 3,820 mAh battery that the company says will last up to three weeks per charge when used for about an hour daily. The tablet’s stylus also needs to be charged because it uses the same active stylus as the Remarkable’s color screen devices, but it’s powered while magnetically attached to the side of the Paper Pure.

Along with the hardware update are coming some new software features, but they won’t be exclusive to Paper Pure. Remarkable tablets will be able to connect to Google Calendar or Microsoft Outlook to create meeting notes that will be pre-populated with agenda information from the invitation. Documents imported from Word, or web pages exported from Chrome or the Remarkable app, can also be converted to Remarkable’s native notebook format, allowing them to be fully edited and modified with an enhanced format.
