reMarkable
Overview
Experience the feel of writing on real paper with the reMarkable 2, the world's thinnest paper tablet designed for distraction-free reading, writing, and sketching. The 10.3-inch E-ink Carta display with CANVAS technology delivers an authentic paper-like texture that feels natural under the included Marker stylus, with virtually no latency between your strokes and the ink appearing on screen. At just 4.7mm thin and 403 grams, the machined aluminum body is lighter than many paper notebooks while providing the durability of premium electronics. Convert handwritten notes to typed text with impressive accuracy, then sync them across devices through the reMarkable cloud for access on your computer or phone. Annotate PDFs and ePubs directly on the screen, making it perfect for reviewing documents, grading papers, or marking up manuscripts. The distraction-free design has no notifications, apps, or internet browsing—just your thoughts and your work. Battery life extends for weeks on a single charge, and the USB-C port handles charging and file transfers. Optional folios and the Type Folio keyboard accessory transform the reMarkable 2 into a focused writing workstation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is reMarkable 2 worth it for note-taking?
reMarkable 2 excels at distraction-free note-taking with a paper-like writing feel unmatched by iPads. It's worth it if you take extensive handwritten notes, read/annotate PDFs, or want to digitize notebooks. It's NOT a tablet for apps, browsing, or multimedia—it's a dedicated writing tool. The price is justified for heavy note-takers.
Does reMarkable 2 require a subscription?
reMarkable offers a free tier with basic sync and a Connect subscription ($2.99/month) for unlimited cloud storage, handwriting conversion, Google Drive/Dropbox integration, and screen sharing. The tablet works fully offline without subscription. Most users find the free tier adequate; power users benefit from Connect features.
Can reMarkable 2 read Kindle books?
reMarkable doesn't support Kindle format or have a Kindle app. It supports PDFs and ePubs, so you'd need to convert Kindle books (DRM-free only) to compatible formats using Calibre. For heavy e-book reading, a Kindle is better. reMarkable excels at PDFs, note-taking, and documents rather than recreational reading.
How does reMarkable 2 writing feel compare to iPad?
reMarkable 2's paper-like screen texture combined with its proprietary pen creates friction that closely mimics real paper—significantly more so than iPad with Apple Pencil on glass. There's virtually no parallax (gap between pen tip and line). Many users describe it as "finally feeling like real writing."
