I was hoping for a 13.3” version for reading and marking up textbooks, technical documents and academic papers. Oh well, going the opposite way probably attracts more customers.

Have you tried the Pro? It's already pretty huge, to the point where I gave up on upgrading mainly due to size. I already use the RM 2 for the purpose you mentioned.

No I haven’t tried the Pro. I have the RM 2, which is very nice. But it is not ideal for my older eyes. I figured I should go as big as possible.

€479 for a 7 inch e-paper tablet

Great form factor but far too overspecialized, which is the norm these days for devices of this class.

I can see it working strictly as a digital notepad and PIM, provided they don't enshittify it to hell with badly designed applications, mandatory subscriptions, and other lock-in garbo. For anything else it's far too weak.

Sad, as the candybar form factor is made for a pen-focused ultramobile general-computing machine designed around standards.

Pretty disappointing release.

Over the years, I have bought 3 reMarkable 2 and 1 reMarkable Pro. That move to colors and having to charge a pen instead of more features (a Kindle integration will be sweet), faster devices, and focusing on better feedback on writing seems a bit of a fumble.

I doubt Amazon would facilitate any kind of legitimate Kindle support outside of a web browser.

I've got the Pro and, whilst a little to heavy for my liking, charging the marker is a no-brainer - it just attaches to the side for storage and charges wirelessly. Faster would always be appreciated of course.

Curious about your last statement as I find the writing feel best in class. Having tried a couple of others, admittedly a few years ago, the Pro felt the most natural to write on.

I found the Supernote Nomad to be much better for writing. And it uses Wacom's superior EMR tech. Precision, no charging, and lots of pen options from different vendors for different purposes.

And as Kindle is crapware, I demand, and therefore welcome, its absence on any device in my possession.

God I hope Remarkable never adds a Kindle app or any other kind of ebook reading app. If they do it means they’ve given up on their core which is a digital replacement for a paper notebook. That’s all I want from them.

I was excited to order the Move today and expect I’ll like it a lot.

And for that, there's the Kobo Elipsa and the like, which manage to be really nice readers and competent note takers (without the monthly fee).

This announcement really caught my eye until I remembered why I'd skipped ReMarkable in the first place. Their gear is so beautiful, but their software has some decisions that baffle me.
