I know what you’re about to say: “reMarkables aren’t e-readers!,” which I wholeheartedly agree with. They may have e-paper displays, but they’re not in any way actual e-readers, and I’m just being a big ‘ol silly goose. That said, you can actually load DRM-free ePub files onto the slate if you use the company’s homegrown transfer app.
The reMarkables all support the format, and you can even amend and highlight text on them, which will transfer to cloud-based saves. If you’re elbows-deep in a textbook and you’ve got to get some notes made quickly, it’d make plenty of sense to use one of these things. Plus, if I was on a long-haul flight, I’d opt for the extra screen real estate over my dinky Kindle some of the time.
Plus, if you’re getting it for its potential as an e-reader, you might as well then enjoy its actual purpose as a distraction-free writing slate. As I wrote in our review, the Type Folio is pretty much essential if you want to really be productive with it, but it’s worth the cost. — Daniel Cooper, Senior Reporter
