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]

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,[8] 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.[9]

Operating system

ReMarkable uses its own operating system, named Codex. Codex is based on Linux, but optimized for electronic paper display technology.[10]

Reception

Remarkable RM100, launched in late 2017, has been criticized because of sluggishness when loading and unloading files.[11] In March 2019 Vesa Linja-aho, a columnist for Finnish computer magazine Skrolli, dubbed the product overpriced, cleverly marketed toy, which no one would ever buy if they had a chance to try it in electronics outlet store, and compared it to nonsense stuff sold in the 90's mail order catalogues.[12]
