The tech world, and E Ink fans in particular, are buzzing with anticipation over the launch of a brand-new reMarkable device. While nothing definitive is known about the upcoming device at this time, there are a few educated guesses we can make based on the teasers the company has shared so far.
The device will likely be named reMarkable Paper Pro Move, which aligns well with the company’s teaser tagline: “Something is on the move.” The launch is scheduled to take place on September 3, 2024, at 8 am ET.
From the few leaked images that briefly surfaced on Reddit—before being swiftly removed—what is amply clear is that the device will sport a color e-paper display. This is significant considering that the company had originally debuted with a monochrome E Ink screen on the reMarkable, later transitioning to a color e-paper display with the reMarkable Paper Pro.
With most E Ink tablet manufacturers embracing color e-paper displays in their recent launches, it’s only prudent for reMarkable to follow suit. However, what remains to be seen is whether the company will opt for a Kaleido 3 display panel, as most manufacturers have done, or use a Gallery 3-based display, as it did with the Paper Pro.
That latter will no doubt be a bold move, especially considering that even Amazon settled on the Kaleido 3 panel for its Kindle Colorsoft even though it had earlier hinted at using an ACeP Gallery 3 panel for its first color Kindle project.
What the Leaks Reveal
- The device seems to have a smaller dimension compared to the current reMarkable tablets. This will make the tablet more portable and easier to carry around.
- The tablet will come with a color e-paper screen with front light support, a first for any reMarkable model so far.
- Connectivity options the table will come with include Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth, NFC, along with maybe even a wireless power transfer feature as well.
- The E Ink tablet is expected to be priced between $449.99 and $499. The final price will depend on the included accessories, like a folio case.
Why This Matters in Today’s E-Reader Landscape
The e-reader market is betting big on color displays this time. There have been quite a few high-profile color E Ink devices launched so far. Those include the likes of the Amazon Kindle Colorsoft, Kobo Libra Colour, PocketBook Inkpad Color, and BOOX Go Color 7. They all offer a color-rich reading experience while maintaining long battery life and eye-friendly design.
However, the primary focus with reMarkable devices has been to offer a superior note-taking experience above anything else. It is going to be interesting to see if that continues with the new reMarkable Paper Pro Move as well, or if it will be tuned to offer e-book reading support as well. In any case, the Paper Pro Move will have emphasis on portability + stylus control + color.
At a Glance: reMarkable Paper Pro Move vs. Kindle Colorsoft
Device | Color Display | Stylus Support | Portability | Price (Estimated) |
Paper Pro Move | Yes, frontlit | Yes (Marker Plus) | Compact, portable | $449.99–$499 (w/folio) |
Kindle Colorsoft | Yes | No | Standard size | $249.99 (16 GB model); Kids edition $269.99 |
Apart from a high contrast color E Ink display, the Kindle Colorsoft is unique in that it is the only one to offer kid-friendly editions. The reMarkable Paper Pro Move, on its part, is expected to carve out a niche segment with its color display and note-taking capability.
What to Watch Leading Up to the Launch
- Unboxing and Size Confirmation: How pocketable is it really?
- Display Quality: Will the color E-Ink be vibrant enough? How’s the frontlight?
- Stylus Experience: Will writing or sketching feel as natural as previous reMarkable models?
- Battery Life and Pricing: Can it match reMarkable’s tradition of multi-week battery life? Will the premium color and portability justify the rumored price?
- Real-World Comparisons: How does it stack up against mid-sized color e-Ink rivals?
Final Thoughts on the reMarkable Paper Pro Move Launch
These are exciting times for e-reader or E Ink fans. The reMarkable Paper Pro Move could can as well redefine what it means to take notes and read while at the same time, stay minimalist. If reMarkable delivers on style, performance, and function, it could outshine earlier color e-Ink models by offering true portability with note-taking finesse.

Hi this is kind of of off topic but I was wanting to know if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding experience so I wanted to get advice from someone with experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
