E-paper tablet maker reMarkable is gearing up for a new device launch, according to leaker Evan Blass, a.k.a. @evleaks. And this time, it reportedly won’t be as niche as before.
Blass, who has a solid track record of leaking mobile devices, posted on X that reMarkable’s next tablet will be called the “Paper Pure” and will be more “mass-market focused than either the Paper Pro or Paper Move.” He added that the Paper Pure is “expected to launch in the second quarter.

The image of the purported Paper Pure shows the backside of the device with a stylus (is that an eraser tip?!) clipped to one side. From the ribbed frame to the round rubber feet, it looks to have reMarkable’s signature industrial design.
For as paper-like and delightful as the Paper Pro and more pocket-friendly Paper Pro Move are, they’re on the pricey side compared to a more general-purpose tablet like an iPad. The Paper Pro retails for $630 and the Paper Pro Move for $450. A more affordable e-paper device could help reMarkable reach more users, including students on a much tighter budget.
What I want to know most is what kind of compromises will the so-called Paper Pure have to bring the price down? A lower-resolution screen? A slower chip that might make the E Ink display refresh slower? No color E Ink display? Shorter battery life? There are also some trade-offs when a company goes downstream.
I enjoyed the size of the Paper Pro Move when I tried it last year, but I’d love to see an even smaller reMarkable e-paper tablet. Something like the smartphone-sized Boox Palma 2 Pro could have a lot of appeal. Recently, there’s also been a trend to slap a tiny e-reader onto the back of iPhones. Devices like the Xteink X4 have a “small” 4.3-inch E Ink screen and magnetically attach to the back of iPhones. The software is a little janky from what I’ve seen, but everyone seems to agree that the benefits of a distraction-free reading experience are worth it.
Of course, reMarkable devices aren’t just more premium Kindles. Core to products is notetaking (hence the stylus in the leaked image), so I expect any cheaper device to have a robust stylus and handwriting/sketching experience.
