The reMarkable Paper Pro Disaster: Why I Couldn’t Last 2 Weeks
Imperfect Practice
80,550 views
I wanted to love the reMarkable Paper Pro and Paper Pro Move. Their design is beautiful, the build quality is premium, and syncing is fast—but within just 10 days, I realized they weren’t for me.
In this video, I share exactly why I ditched both reMarkable devices, despite wanting them to replace my Supernote Manta and Nomad for journaling, note-taking, and reading. From the awkward aspect ratios to the uncomfortable writing feel, limited templates, and sluggish performance, I break down all the compromises that made me decide to sell both devices and move on.
If you’re comparing reMarkable vs Supernote, or trying to find the best e-ink tablet for note-taking, watch this before you buy.

Your point about the pen is something I ignored, but I can understand this is an important point for the usage and feeling.
Thanks again!
I too find that refresh a little much for the colour, so try to avoid it. Tho I appreciate your video, it wasnt a hate video, it was it didnt work for you based on your likes/dislikes and use case. I will stick with mine for now, as I have to see if this is going to work for me. I really enjoyed your take on it and I can understand your gripes. An interesting re-review I did watch prior showcased it 6 months on. He admitted to instantly disliking the pro, for a good few weeks and favoured other e-ink tablets (I forget which). But then, after a few weeks, his gripes started to get less, even the flashing didnt really bother him. Now it is his go to. One of his main use cases was the lack of being able to do anything else but write - no distractions like in others.
So, I will check mine out and see if it takes over the next few weeks. I have 50 days for a refund per remarkable and Amazon is usually good on returns. Lets see if it sticks for me. I hope it does, but if not the scribe gen 2 11" is next to try. Though I have kindles anyway so I prefer to use them for reading. This will be mainly for work (as a PM) and will replace my smaller air 3C (eventually) 😆
not like all the rest I found online ;-)
much appreciated, Sir!
