Every now and then a gadget arrives that feels less like another screen and more like a reset button for your brain. The reMarkable Paper Pro Move is exactly that: a pocketable, distraction-free paper tablet that finally makes digital handwriting portable. It’s small enough to slip into a jacket, light enough to forget you’re carrying it, and clever enough to turn scribbles into searchable, shareable work.

Feature Breakdown
The Canvas Color display delivers muted, natural hues designed for highlighting and organizing — not eye-searing saturation, but just enough to give your notes structure. Writing latency at 12 ms is near-instant for e-ink, letting the Marker glide like a real pen.
The battery design is smart: two weeks of regular use, or three days from a 10-minute quick charge. This makes it the kind of device you top up before a meeting and never worry about.
With the Connect subscription, reMarkable turns into a true ecosystem: notes sync seamlessly, editing is possible on laptops and phones, and sharing pages to Slack becomes one tap.
Build & Materials: Pocket Notebook Energy
The Move feels premium without being fragile. Its anodized aluminum frame and textured glass mimic the tactility of paper, right down to the faint scratch sound as you write. At just 6.5 mm thin and 230 g, it’s a gadget that disappears into your pocket until you need it. The Marker snaps magnetically to the side, instantly waking the display — a subtle but brilliant design detail.
Hands-On Experience
The magic is in how often you actually use it. On the metro, in a café, between calls — instead of unlocking a phone and risking a doomscroll, you pull out a notebook that only does one thing well: helps you think. PDF annotations are fluid, handwriting-to-text conversion is impressively accurate, and the front light makes night journaling as natural as paper. After a week, it becomes second nature.
Price and Availability
• From $449 in the US with Marker included ($499 with Marker Plus)
• From AED 1,849 in the UAE with free shipping and 100-day trial
• Accessories: Book Folio (from $69), extra tips and cables available
How It Stacks Up
• Kindle Scribe (10.2”): Better bookstore integration and AI handwriting tricks, but too large to be pocket-friendly. Great for readers, less so for quick notes on the go.
• Supernote Nomad (7.8”): Slightly larger and more affordable, with a strong archival system, but slower latency and a less tactile writing feel. The Move delivers the sharper, more “paper-like” experience.
What Others Say
“This is the paperback-sized reMarkable people have been asking for — portable, focused, and thoughtfully priced.” — The Verge

FAQ
• Can I use the Marker from reMarkable 2?
No, the Paper Pro Move uses a new pen technology.
• How fast does it charge?
0–90% in under 45 minutes; a 10-minute charge lasts about three days.
• Can I access notes on my phone or laptop?
Yes, with the official apps. Connect unlocks editing and Slack sharing.
• Does the light reduce battery life?
At maximum brightness it draws more power, but it’s optimized for efficiency.
Cons
• Advanced features like Slack integration require the paid Connect subscription
• Softer light compared to some e-readers
• No app store, browser, or media support (a design choice, but limiting for some)
• Incompatible with older reMarkable Markers
Final Verdict
Score: 4.5/5
The reMarkable Paper Pro Move is the most compelling reMarkable yet — not because it adds more, but because it trims everything down to exactly what matters. It’s the notebook you’ll actually carry, with a writing experience that feels more real than any app. For focused thinkers, this is a must-buy. For app-hungry multitaskers, look elsewhere.
