I have always had a fondness for quality notebooks despite my messy handwriting. I enjoy taking notes, making to-do lists, and writing letters. There is something special about writing on a yellow legal pad or doodling in a composition notebook. The ReMarkable Paper Pro does an excellent job of recreating the experience of writing on paper with a stylus and screen, although it can feel a bit like a toy at times. However, the price may be a deterrent for many people.
The ReMarkable Paper Pro is a beautiful digital notebook that offers a fantastic writing experience, but it is also a slow-loading e-reader that comes with a hefty price tag. The design of the Paper Pro is an upgrade from the Remarkable 2, with a larger size, color display, and reading light. It aims to provide a distraction-free writing experience, similar to its predecessor.
The Paper Pro’s color display makes reading comics and highlighting texts easier, but there is a slight delay when writing in color. The device offers different pen styles to accommodate various writing preferences, making it versatile for notetaking and writing tasks. The ability to convert handwritten notes to typed text is a useful feature, although its accuracy depends on your handwriting.
Organizing notes on the Paper Pro is straightforward, with options to highlight, move, and edit text easily. Sharing notes across devices is convenient, although the cloud storage service comes at an additional cost. The device excels as an e-reader with an adjustable reading light and an E Ink display that is easy on the eyes.
Despite its performance issues and high price, the ReMarkable Paper Pro offers a unique writing experience that may appeal to those looking for a distraction-free device. However, there are more affordable options available for those who prioritize functionality over luxury.
