The company lists the tablet at $299 / £299 / AU$499, but that’s without its stylus. The reMarkable 2 is also deceptively priced. To be fair, my paper notebook has no backlight either, but the Kindle Scribe certainly does. If it’s dark, you won’t be able to see it. Unfortunately, there are a few big caveats with the reMarkable 2 tablet. I was able to save my notes and send them as an email or upload them to the cloud. In my experience, the tablet did a great job guessing my chicken scratch handwriting. When you want to send a page along, you can send it as-is, or you can have the reMarkable 2 transcribe it to typography. You can change the thickness, and even change the color to blue or red ink if you export the page to send it, making it look even more like a real pen. There are eight different pen styles, including a paintbrush and a calligraphy pen. In fact, the company recently started touting its product as the thinnest tablet you can buy, though that’s a weird way to sell a tablet that can essentially only do one thing. If that doesn’t make you curious, you aren’t a tech enthusiast like me. I was familiar with the reMarkable 2 device because my friend Daniel Bader at Android Central gave it such a glowing review, saying it changed his life. The Kindle Scribe opened my eyes to the world of writing on E Ink, but reMarkable was the pioneer, and its latest device, the reMarkable 2, is one of the Scribe’s most visible competitors. Pretty much all of the E Ink writing tablets on the market right now use a screen in the 10-inch range, and pens that use electromagnetic resonance technology, similar to Wacom drawing tablets. Devices like the Amazon Kindle, Kobo Elipsa, and Onyx Boox Note Air 2 all use e ink displays sourced from E Ink. I know that there is one company that makes E Ink screens, the eponymous E Ink Corporation. Like most people, I didn’t know much about the world of E Ink tablets besides the Kindle and some other ereader devices. I was excited when Amazon announced the Kindle Scribe.
