I'm reviving this old thread to mention that a Norwegian start-up is launching a "paper tablet" they call
reMarkable. (Disclaimer: I have no shares in the company
) It has a 10.3” monochrome digital paper display using e-ink technology, and weighs appr. 350 gram. The magazine "Trusted Reviews" has had a pre-look
here and they are pretty positive about it. It can be pre-orderd for $429 incl. shipping, and the pack includes the tablet, the marker, a Folio, USB cable and instruction manual. If you order now you will receive it in September. Once released, the pack will sell for $716, but price may vary as the product develops.
It looks like a really nice product, but I am a bit hesitant to order it already now. The price is quite high for a "tablet" which in my view still has limited options. It only supports PDF and ePUB, although their website says that more formats will be announced. It is also unclear whether it will be able to interface with e.g. Evernote, OneNote etc. On the other hand there will be free apps for iOS, Android, Windows etc. so you can synch your documents on other devices, but they don't say whether storing your documents in their "cloud" will be free of charge or not. So the dilemma is whether to wait to see the product in the market and get reviews from everyday users, but paying a lot more, or take your chance and fork out now for a product you will only hold in your hands in September.
