reMarkable is an E Ink writer tablet for reading documents and textbooks, sketching and note-taking with the goal of a paper-like writing experience.[3] Developed by a Norwegian startup company of the same name, the device is geared towards students, academics, and professionals.[4] Development was started in 2013[5] and a crowdfunding campaign launched in late 2016.[6] Pre-orders began in 2017.[7] reMarkable 2 was marketed as 'World's Thinnest Tablet' and sold in batches since mid-2020 for 458 €/US$ including the pen.[8]

The reMarkable tries to blend the reading experience of an electronic paper display with the writing experience of a high end tablet computer through its low lag Linux operating system,[9] and is claimed to be solidly built.[5]

History

The company was founded by Magnus Wanberg and started product development in Oslo in early 2014. It has collaborated with Taiwanese company E Ink.[10]

Operating system

ReMarkable uses its own operating system, named Codex. Codex is based on Linux, but optimized for electronic paper display technology.[11]

Reception

Remarkable RM100, launched in late 2017, has been criticized because of sluggishness when loading and unloading files.[12] According to Wired, ReMarkable 2 "excels at taking your handwritten notes, but it doesn't do much else well."[13]
