The ReMarkable Paper Pro looks like it puts other E Ink devices to shame

The reMarkable Paper Pro has an 11-inch display, which offers more room to read and write.
The tablet can view documents in color with a custom color E Ink display and has front lighting for use in the dark.

Amazon's Kindle Scribe validated that E Ink tablets were becoming truly mainstream by offering one of the most premium reading and writing experiences possible, but it's fair to say before it, reMarkable was the cutting edge. Well, now the company is taking back its crown with the reMarkable Paper Pro, a larger 11-inch tablet, with not only a custom color E Ink display, but front lights so that you can use it in the dark, too.

Devices that do less rather than more are in. Whether it's Light's take on the modern smartphone or the variety of different sizes of Onyx Boox devices you can buy, companies are exploring being more deliberate with the components they use and the features they include. In terms of productivity tools, reMarkable was early to the idea with its original reMarkable E Ink note-taking device, refined it with the reMarkable 2, and could very well have perfected it with the $579 reMarkable Paper Pro. Here's how reMarkable's new device stands out from the competition.

Besides the design tweaks reMarkable made to the body of the reMarkable Paper Pro, increasing the tablet's thickness to 0.2 inches and adding in ridges along the sides so that it looks like a stack of paper, the big difference is the screen. The Paper Pro has an 11.8-inch display that offers a bit more room to work than the 10.3-inch display on the reMarkable 2 or the 10.2-inch display on the Kindle Scribe. The screen also sits centered in the body of the Paper Pro rather than off to one side, with even bezels on the right and the left and a chin of sorts on the bottom.

One benefit of this change, according to reMarkable, is that you can view PDFs at full-size with wider margins for notes, something that wasn't quite possible without zooming out and losing some clarity on reMarkable 2. Think of it like the shift from a piece of printer paper to a legal pad. If you're a note-taker, first and foremost, you'll have more room on a given page before you have to scroll or swipe to a new one.

The standout feature of the reMarkable Paper Pro is its ability to display color text and images rather than the grays and blacks of the reMarkable 2 and other traditional E Ink devices. That's thanks to a custom display reMakarble built on the back of E Ink's Gallery 3 tech called Canvas Color. The new screen can display up to 20,000 colors thanks to the ability to layer and blend colors together, and the Paper Pro seems to handle color just as smoothly as normal grayscale doodles.
