Yes, you've seen this before
, a 10.1-inch, 350-gram E Ink and stylus-supporting tablet. It boasted 226ppi with a look and feel that was as close to a piece of paper as you could get without being made from pulp. ReMarkable worked closely with E Ink to create a version of electronic paper that offered 100 millisecond response time, making it feel as if the E Ink that appeared on the page was flowing out of the ReMarkable stylus.
Amazon's had 15 years to perfect its e-reader business, with a range of products that start as low as $99 and cost as must as the $249 Kindle Oasis. The 10.2-inch Kindle Scribe is more affordable than the original DX , though not as cheap as the $279 ReMarkable 2. It extends the Kindle's utility into a space once owned by ReMarkable.
Amazon now has the wherewithal to let this pricier and mainly niche e-reader percolate and grow in market share, while the scrappy startup ReMarkable will need some splashy innovation. It needs to remind consumers it was here first to survive. What's odd is that my excitement over the Kindle Scribe is almost entirely based on my ReMarkable 1 experiences. It's fun to draw with a stylus on E Ink. It can look and feel just like paper. ReMarkable was always smart enough to leverage the processing power behind the paper-like screen for more utility.
The arc of technology often goes up but also bends back in time to long-forgotten failures to make something fresh and new. It's fun to look at and try the new thing, but always worth remembering how we and everyone else got here.
