Ever since the ReMarkable 2 came out, it's been a mainstay in the premium E Ink device market, attracting a cohort of fawning power users on one hand, and those who just don't get it on the other. Taking the next step in its tablet line, ReMarkable just released the Paper Pro, improving on the ReMarkable 2 with a host of new features, a color display, backlighting, and more robust hardware.

I recently had a chance to test out the Paper Pro over the course of a few weeks and spoke with some of the device's developers to break down its feature set. As an enjoyer of the ReMarkable product and what it stands for, I was thrilled to see the developers take user suggestions to heart when they approached the design for the Paper Pro.

Right now, the ReMarkable Paper Pro is on sale, bundled for $629, which is $50 off the regular price. An even better deal, however, is the chance to snag a refurbished device for as low as $499.
