Now that reMarkable has announced the Paper Pure, a new version of the reMarkable 2, it’s worth asking what actually changes and what sets these two digital notepads apart.
The reMarkable 2, released in 2020 and available for six years, was officially discontinued on May 6, 2026, making way for the Paper Pure.
It will still receive software updates, and accessory support remains in place.
Both models share the same 10.3-inch black-and-white E Ink Canvas screen, with an identical resolution of 1872 x 1404 pixels at 226 PPI and the same 21 ms latency that the brand is known for.
The real upgrade is under the hood: the Paper Pure moves to a dual-core Cortex-A55 processor clocked at 1.7 GHz (up from 1.2 GHz on the reMarkable 2), doubles the RAM to 2 GB (from 1 GB), and quadruples internal storage to 32 GB (from just 8 GB).
The battery also gets a boost, going from 3,000 mAh to 3,820 mAh.
On the sustainability front, the Paper Pure incorporates 38% recycled materials and, in line with new regulations, its battery is now user-replaceable, something that wasn’t possible on the reMarkable 2.
The USB-C port is kept. The most significant change, however, is the stylus: the Paper Pure adopts a semi-proprietary USI technology instead of the Wacom system used on the reMarkable 2.
The direct consequence: your old Marker stylus won’t work with the new tablet; you’ll need to invest in a new Marker or Marker Plus, compatible with the Paper Pro and Paper Pro Move models.
Below is a table summarizing the differences between the reMarkable 2 and the reMarkable Paper Pure:
