What reMarkable does

reMarkable AS is a Norwegian consumer electronics company that designs, manufactures, and sells digital paper tablets intended to replicate the tactile experience of writing on paper while delivering the convenience of digital tools. Founded with its first product launch in 2017, the company serves knowledge workers, students, creative professionals, and enterprise teams seeking a distraction-free alternative to traditional tablets and laptops — its devices deliberately exclude email, browsers, social media, and notifications to combat "attention residue" and "technostress." The current lineup comprises three paper tablets — the 11.8-inch Paper Pro (flagship, with custom Canvas Color display using actual color pigments via gallery display technology at 12ms ink latency), the 7.3-inch Paper Pro Move (portable Canvas Color tablet), and the 10.3-inch Paper Pure (entry-level black-and-white with E Ink Carta 1300 at 21ms latency) — alongside the proprietary Marker and Marker Plus stylus family and accessories including Book Folio, Sleeve Folio, and Type Folio keyboard cases. reMarkable's OS powers all devices with AI-assisted handwriting conversion, summarization, and integrations with Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Slack, and Miro.

The business model combines one-time hardware sales (the primary revenue driver, ASP $399–$629) with a growing recurring layer through the Connect subscription ($3.99/month consumer, $39/year; £5.99/month for Connect for Business with enterprise SSO and device management). Distribution is primarily direct-to-consumer via remarkable.com across 40+ countries, supplemented by exclusive US retail partnerships with Best Buy and Amazon marketplace presence. As of mid-2026 the company has sold over 3.5 million devices cumulatively, reports 1.2 million Connect subscribers, and claims usage at 90% of Fortune 500 companies, with Salesforce deploying more than 6,000 units.

reMarkable is privately held and headquartered in Oslo, Norway. It has financed growth primarily through debt, including a NOK 500 million senior unsecured bond issued by wholly-owned reMarkable Invest AS on the Oslo Stock Exchange in October 2023 (ISIN NO0013030205, coupon 3-month NIBOR + 7%, maturity October 2027). In April 2026, amid weakening demand, falling sales, rising memory chip costs, and intensifying competition from Amazon Kindle Scribe, the company replaced CEO Phil Hess with Vegard Gullaksen Veiteberg and announced over 200 layoffs — its second headcount reduction in eight months — while continuing to ship new products and expand the enterprise channel.

Core offering

reMarkable designs, manufactures, and sells E Ink "paper tablets" — distraction-free digital notebooks (Paper Pure, Paper Pro, Paper Pro Move) that replicate the tactile writing feel of paper, paired with the Marker/Marker Plus styluses and folio accessories. The hardware is sold primarily direct-to-consumer through remarkable.com, with revenue supplemented by the Connect cloud subscription (handwriting conversion, handwriting search, cloud sync, Screen Share, third-party integrations) and the enterprise-tier Connect for Business offering.

Product overview

reMarkable offers a unified paper-tablet platform built around three current-generation hardware products — reMarkable Paper Pure (entry-level 10.3-inch black-and-white), reMarkable Paper Pro (flagship 11.8-inch color), and reMarkable Paper Pro Move (7.3-inch portable color) — together with the legacy reMarkable 2, a shared family of Marker / Marker Plus styluses, and Book Folio, Sleeve Folio, and Type Folio accessories. The cloud and software layer is delivered through the Connect subscription, which provides handwriting conversion, handwriting search, cloud sync, Screen Share, integrations with Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook, Slack, Miro, Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, and Microsoft Word, plus the reMarkable mobile and desktop companion apps. Connect for Business extends that platform to organizations with device management, enterprise single sign-on (SSO), and admin dashboards. Together the three Paper tablets (Pure, Pro, and Pro Move) complete reMarkable's transition from the discontinued reMarkable 2 to a third-generation family.

Direct peers

• Boox (Onyx International): Boox is the closest direct competitor to reMarkable, offering a wide lineup of Android-based E-Ink tablets (e.g., Boox Note, Boox Tab) with stylus input for note-taking and reading. Like reMarkable, it targets knowledge workers and prosumers seeking paper-like writing experiences, though Boox emphasizes open Android flexibility whereas reMarkable enforces a distraction-free experience.
• Amazon (Kindle Scribe): Kindle Scribe is Amazon's E-Ink paper tablet with a stylus for note-taking and reading, sold at aggressive price points through Amazon's marketplace. reMarkable explicitly cited Kindle Scribe as an intensifying competitive threat driving its April 2026 layoffs.
• Supernote: Supernote (by Ratta) offers E-Ink writing tablets with a focus on handwriting, organization, and a sustainable, repairable design similar to reMarkable Paper Pure. It is a focused direct competitor in the premium digital-paper niche targeting the same prosumer and enterprise knowledge-worker segment.

Emerging players

• Daylight Computer: Daylight Computer produces a distraction-free E-Ink tablet (DC-1) marketed for focus and well-being, closely aligned with reMarkable's calm-tech positioning. It is an emerging entrant overlapping on the 'paper-like' use case but with a smaller install base.

Broad incumbents

• Kobo (Rakuten): Kobo's Elipsa and Sage are E-Ink e-readers/tablets with stylus support for note-taking and reading, owned by Rakuten. As a large e-reader incumbent, Kobo competes with reMarkable on the reading side, though its writing experience is less differentiated.
• Lenovo Smart Paper: Lenovo Smart Paper is an E-Ink note-taking tablet bundled with a stylus, sold by Lenovo as part of its broader PC and tablet portfolio. It is a broad incumbent offering paper-like functionality at competitive price points for SMB and consumer buyers.
• Huawei MatePad Paper: Huawei's MatePad Paper is an E-Ink tablet designed for reading and handwriting within Huawei's broader device ecosystem. It overlaps with reMarkable in the E-Ink writing-tablet category but benefits from Huawei's broader hardware scale and ecosystem.
• Apple (iPad + Apple Pencil): Apple's iPad with Apple Pencil is the dominant general-purpose tablet for note-taking and productivity. While iPad is LCD-based and not directly comparable on paper-like writing, it competes for the same note-taking and knowledge-worker use cases and benefits from Apple's massive ecosystem.
• Wacom: Wacom is the established leader in professional pen displays and graphics tablets (e.g., Wacom One, Intuos, Cintiq) targeting creative professionals. It overlaps with reMarkable's stylus/pen-display adjacency and brings deep expertise in pressure-sensitive digital inking.

Regional players

• Fujitsu Quaderno: Fujitsu's Quaderno is a lightweight E-Ink paper tablet primarily sold in Japan, focused on document annotation and reading. It is a regional peer in the paper-tablet category but does not directly compete in reMarkable's primary North American and European markets.
