That looks rather lovely. The smart paper tablet that some of us have always wanted.

"Better thinking" might be an overstatement, but it is quite a hassle to doodle on a computer, and I do find that I think slightly differently while handwriting.

For those feeling the impulse to empty their wallets, I urge caution. I just got done being burned by the kickstarter for the goodreader equivalent. https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/13-3-inch-android-e-reade...

I see no evidence that the team behind this "remarkable" product has ever completed anything of this scale.

Some of the claims are very suspicious. https://liliputing.com/2016/11/remarkable-10-3-inch-writing-...

"reMarkable says the screen has 55ms latency for quick response from pen input"

55ms would be impressive for an LCD. Even the iPad Pro has a latency of 60ms [1]. So a 55ms claim for an E Ink panel? Should raise one's alarm detector.

So a tablet-sized smartboard? Who is the target market for a product like this?

I can see myself being in the target market (sw/hw developer) - while much of my day-to-day work takes place on a computer, I still rely on pen and paper for early sketches/brainstorming and the like, leading to an office with (quite literally!) hundreds of notebooks on the shelves.

If it feels sufficiently paper-y to write on and PDF exporting is seamless-y and with at least a rudimentary tagging function, I'd probably buy one.
