E Ink tablets outshine iPad for reading and note-taking use cases

E Ink tablets rely on reflective displays rather than backlit or emissive screens, making them easier on the eyes and far more readable outdoors than most iPads, aside from the high-brightness iPad Pro. Devices like the reMarkable Paper Pro also offer longer battery life and lighter builds because their screens only draw power when content changes, unlike an iPad's continuously lit display.

New book traces Isaac Newton's rapid path to the Principia Mathematica

Historians Jed Buchwald and Mordechai Feingold examine how Isaac Newton, unlike most scientists who follow a decade-long 'ten-year rule' before major breakthroughs, made foundational discoveries in mathematics, optics and gravity within a single stretch of isolation during the Great Plague of 1665-66. Their new book, 'The Winding Trail to Newton's Principia Mathematica,' details the complex evolution of Newton's 1687 masterwork, which introduced his laws of motion and universal gravitation.

reMarkable update brings circle-to-capture and four new pen colors

reMarkable has released a software update for its E-Ink tablets that lets users circle any part of the screen to capture and copy it as an image, which can then be repositioned or moved between notebooks. The update also adds green, yellow, cyan, and magenta pen colors, improves grayscale differentiation, and enables importing JPG and PNG files directly from Dropbox, Google Drive, or OneDrive.

Rather than a standard Android home screen, it opens to a note-and-calendar interface inspired by devices like the Remarkable, though it still allows full access to the Google Play Store.
