In 2024, the Paperslate brand emerged offering two large-format e-reader models. Paperslate is a French brand that has just announced a new update that brings significant software improvements thanks to Artificial Intelligence (AI).
These e-readers are not just any readers; they are designed for professionals who crave the experience of a large format electronic ink display.
Paperslate is backed by well-known figures in the digital reading community, the team led by Michael Dahan, who previously co-founded Bookeen, now under the French Vivlio brand of e-readers. With their extensive experience, they've crafted two new devices—the Paperslate and Paperslate Pro.
Targeting professional users, these e-readers boast a generous 10-inch black-and-white e-ink screen for viewing text almost as if it's on paper.
The conception is akin to devices like the Bookeen Notéa, Kindle Scribe, and reMarkable, which also cater to this particular niche, indicating room for multiple contenders in the market.
Let's delve into the essentials, starting with its pricing. The base model of the Paperslate retails at €349.99, a competitive rate that pits it strongly against established giants and smaller format e-readers alike:
The Paperslate models maintain a monochrome display, focusing heavily on professional features:
Running on Android 11, there remains a question on whether it will support additional app installations, including Google Play. Differentiation between the two models seems mainly in storage capacity:
Each model includes a speaker and Bluetooth connectivity for audio content, supported by MP3 and WAV file formats.
As for document compatibility, it supports PDF, EPUB, DjVu, and MOBI formats. However, it doesn't seem to cater to CBZ or CBR formats, typical for manga and comics, aligning with its professional orientation.
Available for purchase through their official site, https://paperslate.io/, Paperslate is positioning itself as a new competitor in the e-reader market with its features and attractive "low cost" pricing.
Since April 2025, Paperslate has offered a software update with new features that provide a significant productivity gain for people who use Paperslate machines at work.
Thus, your machine can now use Artificial Intelligence (AI) that will help you convert your handwritten notes into usable and editable documents in a software suite such as Microsoft's Office Pack or an equivalent like Libre Office / Open Office.
This functionality therefore transforms documents entered using the stylus into Word or PDF documents.
This works for:
These new features are available in a "beta" test version for all Paperslate machine owners and are free of charge.
However, the company explains that some functions may become paid in the future depending on the resources required to run the AI models.
Note that Paperslate does not specify which AI model(s) are being used. Is it Claude? OpenAI / ChatGPT or Gemini? Perhaps we will find out in a few days.
To take advantage of these new features, you must update your Paperslate by connecting it to a Wifi network (internet connection is mandatory for AI transcription tools).
In the world of digital reading, e-readers have revolutionized the way we access books with their electronic ink screens. The Pocketbook brand offers several models tailored to various needs and preferences. In this article, we will explore the differences between the Pocketbook Verse, Pocketbook Verse Pro, and Pocketbook Verse Pro Color e-readers to help you choose the one that best fits your usage.
