ZDNET's recommendations are based on many hours of testing, research, and comparison shopping. We gather data from the best available sources, including vendor and retailer listings as well as other relevant and independent reviews sites. And we pore over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the products and services we’re assessing.

When you click through from our site to a retailer and buy a product or service, we may earn affiliate commissions. This helps support our work, but does not affect what we cover or how, and it does not affect the price you pay. Neither ZDNET nor the author are compensated for these independent reviews. Indeed, we follow strict guidelines that ensure our editorial content is never influenced by advertisers.

ZDNET's editorial team writes on behalf of you, our reader. Our goal is to deliver the most accurate information and the most knowledgeable advice possible in order to help you make smarter buying decisions on tech gear and a wide array of products and services. Our editors thoroughly review and fact-check every article to ensure that our content meets the highest standards. If we have made an error or published misleading information, we will correct or clarify the article. If you see inaccuracies in our content, please report the mistake via this form.

ReMarkable has carved out a niche for itself with its premium digital paper tablets, a distraction-free ethos, and a devoted following. Devices like the Paper Pro offer a polished experience but command a high price: as much as $800 when bundled with accessories.

Sensing a shift in the wind, the brand has just (wisely) announced a new, accessible product to its lineup: the ReMarkable Paper Pure -- a simplified tablet that clones the brand's luxe digital paper display technology but strips away some of the high-end features to keep the price down to an accessible $399.

For that price, you get the tablet and the Marker Basic (ReMarkable's entry-level stylus). For $449, you get the tablet, Marker Plus, and the folio carrying case -- a step up in hardware and features for around $50 more. Either way, you're looking at a premium digital paper tablet for a competitive price.
