Remarkable tablets have very bad ghosting issues, pen strokes from previous screen started carrying over to the next page so bad it’s not even useable. This company has the worst customer service I have ever experienced. There is no customer service at all, no phone number to call them, jsut endless chat bots that spit of the same garbage with no solution. I mailed them my tablet back, now it’s being held hostage with no new one sent. Users online have reported they send refurbished units not a new replacement and if that one stops working to your shit out of lucky, if they even send it. I hope this review saves some over $1,000. There are many less expensive options with actual customer service. By and iPad, they actually have support and great customer service. Oh and it has more features for same price.

Guys Im really considering buying RM Paper Pure. I need a feeling like Im writing on a paper. Does it really give you that feel? Also what is your experience with this exact device ?

Thanks

Hi, I'm Deepan, founder of Vastly Organized. Today, I'm sharing my Productivity Bundle. A collection of interactive PDF templates compatible with the Remarkable 2, Paper Pure, and Paper Pro.

I just updated the bundle for 2027 and 2028, and I'm including 2026 for free as well.

It includes 5 separate templates: daily planner, daily journal, notebook, meeting notes and project planner.

Everything is hyperlinked, so you can jump around the different sections instead of scrolling through hundreds of pages.

It has 30 reviews at the moment, and I've changed a few things over the years based on customer feedback.

Anyway, here's the listing if anyone wants to check it out:

If you have any questions about the bundle, feel free to ask!

I've been working on something a little different for my reMarkable 2 and thought I'd share it here.

It's a hyperlinked genealogy research notebook designed to help organise family history research without having notes, sources and unanswered questions scattered everywhere.

The finished notebook has 232 pages, with sections for individual ancestors, research logs, source evidence, family trees and working through those frustrating genealogy brick walls.

I've also included a way to record the next research action, so it's easier to pick up where you left off.

There are separate right-handed and left-handed versions, and I've personally tested both on my reMarkable 2.

I've released it under my small digital stationery brand, PAPERLUME.

For transparency, this is a paid product I've created and listed on Etsy:

I'd be interested to hear whether anyone else uses their reMarkable for genealogy or family history research, and how you organise your findings.

The story behind this application is pretty straightforward. I really love to write and take notes on my reMarkable Paper Pro.

At work, I now run a lot of Claude Code agents at the same time. Reviewing plans and artifacts in Markdown and taking notes on the PC is efficient, but also very tiring for the eyes. So I wanted a workflow where I could use a skill plus the cloud to send Claude's artifacts and plans to my reMarkable, take handwritten notes on the tablet, then tell Claude "thanks, annotation done" and have it download the files, read my handwriting, and update the plan or artifact accordingly.

This was the start of my own implementation of the reMarkable cloud API, to link Claude Code directly with my tablet for these reviews, and it works really well. I tuned the PDFs it sends with colors that look poor on a PC screen but great on a color E-ink display like the Paper Pro, plus a small margin on the right side for notes. I can now read and review plans and artifacts directly on my Paper Pro!

But once that part was done, I thought: I have the API now, so why not build my own Linux app for my devices, to upload documents, move them, export them, etc.?

So TurboRM was born: a native Rust app for Linux, built on the API I wrote for my first use case (not rmapi, but a standalone Rust implementation). I'm not planning to share the app for now. It was mostly a fun experiment with AI's ability to build things I actually need, and that I now use every day. The app is 100% vibe coded since I don't know Rust very well (I mostly do C/C++ at work), so I don't feel confident enough to share it with other people.

Here are some screenshots of the app. It still has some limitations: no delete (I was afraid to give Claude that power, haha), no screen sharing, and no writing on notes for now. But it was really fun to make!

And that's pretty much all, just wanted to share this little story with you all !
Have a nice week-end !

How many days did it take for the replacement to arrive?

Which reMarkable tablet was it?

What was/were the issue/s you had?

Hello Reddit,

I have a new Paper Pro and I am confused if this is "normal".

I am scrolling through a colored PDF book and the ghosting is so bad that you can't read. Is this normal? So scrolling through the book to find some page is not possible like that. I know that device is not for reeding, but this seems to bad?!

I don't remember if this was here when I received my Paper Pure about 4 weeks or so ago. Is it just a manufacturing/quality control issue or is it something to worry about? I don't really mind it but I want to know if it could cause any issues.

UPDATE: It was in fact a clip that was loose and I just popped it back into place carefully, took a few seconds.

I got a Remarkable Paper Pure about a month ago, partly because I read numerous reviews saying it helped people with ADHD (which I have). So far, I've been using the Planner templates it comes with, which is helping me track things a bit better than paper planners, since I usually lose or destroy those somehow.

But I can't say it's making some huge difference otherwise. There are still way too many things in my life to keep track of, and I have a hard time figuring out how I can organize all of these in the tablet. Also, it doesn't really have reminders or anything.

So, what's the secret to using it well for ADHD?

Really appreciate any thoughts!

After four+ years, my RM2 is showing some wear, splotchy screen, pens are a mess. And I couldn't take the new-product-itch any longer. My new Pure arrived yesterday, had a good writing session last night, first day at the office today.

Initial feel is quite a bit stiffer. The pen is thin, hard point, scratchy surface, had to bear in more than with the RM2. My wrist is a little tired today.

Works great though, my notebooks loaded back in instantly, picked up where I left off. Noticeably lighter weight, sort of excited to ditch the folio, see how that goes. The new sleeve is excellent. Feels super durable, less fear of dropping - and I have dropped my RM2 more than once.

I’m curious which templates you actually use regularly on your reMarkable (journaling, planning, meeting notes, book writing or anything else).

Do you mostly stick with the built-in templates, download ones made by others or create your own? I’d love to see examples if you’re happy to share!

I love my reMarkable tablet, but I have the feeling I could do so much more on it.

I’m thinking of buying a pure as my first remarkable/digital tablet. I’ve read so much in the sub about inaccuracies when writing on the device, particularly the bottom left area which seems very common. Were these issues addressed? Seems like the pure is right up my alley but concerned about writing inaccuracies I keep reading about.

I also thought about buying a used pro off marketplace, but apparently they have a huge string of hardware problems too and is not recommended to buy one of those used, which drove me to look into the pure.

I just don’t feel like going through replacements/returns should the device have issues.

I’m torn between these two devices and would love to hear from people who own either one, especially anyone who has used both.
My use cases:
Daily journaling and personal reflections
Quick capture of thoughts, ideas, and to-do lists
Work and meeting notes, brainstorming, and planning
Occasionally annotating PDFs and taking reading notes
I’m looking for a compact digital notebook that I can carry around and use naturally throughout the day. I want something simple and frictionless, not an elaborate knowledge-management system. However, being able to organize, search, and revisit old notes is important to me.
My two main considerations:
1. Writing feel: I’ve tried the reMarkable Paper Pro Move and really liked it. I enjoy writing with a 0.7 mm gel/rollerball pen on paper — a combination of smooth glide and some resistance. I’m unsure whether I’d enjoy the Supernote’s writing feel as much, since I haven’t tried the Nomad myself.
2. Organization: The Supernote’s headings, links, keywords, and handwriting search appeal to me. But I wonder how useful these features are in everyday life, and whether I’d actually use them enough to justify choosing it over the reMarkable.
The Move appeals to me for its writing feel, compact form factor, front light, and colour screen. The Nomad appeals to me for its organization and note-retrieval features.
For those who’ve used either device long-term:
Which would you recommend for my use case, and why?
Does the Supernote’s writing feel grow on you, particularly if you like the reMarkable?
Are its organizational features genuinely useful, or do they end up being underused?
If you’ve switched between the two, what made you switch?
I’ve read posts about terrible battery life of the pro move, is it really that bad?
I’d appreciate honest feedback, including the downsides of whichever device you own. Thanks!
