They’re also a Chinese company, but they basically specialise in e-ink tablets running the full Android experience, as Google Play comes installed (on newer devices at least). Neither of the two have frontlights, meaning you can’t use them in a dark room, so I ended up going for Onyx Boox. Supernote is a Chinese company offering largely the same thing. To quickly summarise: reMarkable is a European company offering a device that’s primarily just a digital notebook, no browser or third-party apps available (although you can also annotate PDFs and EPUBs). When I decided to get myself an e-ink tablet for reading and writing, I saw that the main choices were the reMarkable, Onyx Boox, or Supernote. The lack of blue light means they’re better for your eyesight, and the slow refresh helps conserve battery life. But they shine as digital notebooks, which the popularity of the reMarkable 2 has proven. Of course, they’ll never be a match for your traditional laptop or tablet e-ink screens have really slow refresh rates, so doing things like watching YouTube videos is not an enjoyable experience. In recent years, e-ink has been taking off, as the technology has improved to the point where you can (just about) do more with it than simply read books. ![]() A few months ago, I wrote about why I wouldn’t be buying the new Amazon Kindle Scribe, but the whole device concept was something I badly wanted to try. ![]()
