Remarkable Shrinks Its E Ink Tablet Is Smaller Really Better?

Remarkable's New Digital Notepad: Portability Meets Innovation

Remarkable has once again captured our attention with its latest offering: the Remarkable Paper Pro Move. Just a year after the debut of the Remarkable Paper Pro with its expansive 11.8-inch color E Ink screen, the company is now introducing a more compact version, prioritizing portability without sacrificing functionality.

Imagine the original Paper Pro, but perfectly sized for on-the-go use. The Paper Pro Move, with its 7.3-inch screen, feels remarkably like a thin paperback novel, easily slipping into your bag or even a larger pocket. While smaller, it cleverly maintains a similar writing area to its larger sibling when used in landscape mode.

Available for order today, the Remarkable Paper Pro Move starts at $449, which includes the essential Marker stylus that conveniently charges via magnetic attachment. For those seeking an enhanced experience, a $499 bundle offers the upgraded Marker Plus stylus, complete with a built-in eraser button. The original Remarkable Paper Pro remains available for $629, highlighting that while smaller in size, the Move is positioned as a premium portable option.

Let's dive into the specifics:

• Dimensions: 7.7 inches tall and 4.24 inches wide, comparable to the seventh-generation iPad Mini but narrower.
• Weight: Significantly lighter than the original Paper Pro.
• Storage: 64GB of internal storage for all your notes and documents.
• Processor: A 1.7GHz dual-core Cortex-A55 processor.
• Battery Life: Up to two weeks on a single charge, thanks to its 2,334mAh battery.

The Paper Pro Move boasts a 7.3-inch custom version of E Ink's advanced Gallery 3 panel. This technology mixes four shades of microscopic ink particles to produce more vivid and accurate colors, though with slightly slower refresh rates. This advanced color display sets it apart from many other e-readers on the market.

It's important to note what the Paper Pro Move *isn't*. It's not a direct replacement for color e-readers like the Kindle Colorsoft. It doesn't offer access to online bookstores, its document support is primarily for PDFs and ePub files, and its front light is dimmer than other E Ink devices. Its core strength lies in note-taking and document annotation.

Key Features:

• Extensive selection of templates, including day planners.
• Handwritten note conversion to text for easy sharing via email.
• Document annotation capabilities.
• New Feature: Repositionable on-screen toolbar
• New Feature: Ability to search handwritten documents

Remarkable plans to introduce new features, starting with the Paper Pro Move, including a repositionable on-screen toolbar and handwriting search. While basic features like handwriting conversion and cloud storage access are included, more advanced features, such as editing notes in mobile apps and sharing to Slack, will be part of a $2.99/month subscription to Remarkable’s Connect service after a 100-day free trial.

The Remarkable Paper Pro Move represents a compelling blend of portability and functionality. It's a beautifully designed tool for those who value the tactile experience of writing with a pen on paper, combined with the convenience and versatility of a digital device. Whether you're a student, professional, or simply someone who enjoys jotting down ideas on the go, the Paper Pro Move offers a unique and satisfying experience.
