Remarkable announced in April that they were going to have a price increase in the United States, due to the Tariffs from China. They stated that the price increases would take effect on May 28, 2025. They never publicly announced which products would be affected and by how much. However, Good e-Reader has learned that they increased the price of the Remarkable Paper Pro and regular Marker from $579 to $629, a $50 increase.
The price adjustment was specific to Remarkable Paper Pro bundles. It was implemented across their official sales channels in the United States, which is why the change was also reflected on their Amazon product listing. The pricing for their standalone accessories, such as individual Markers or Folios, was not affected by this change.
A Remarkable spokesman told Good e-Reader, “Remarkable adjusted the price of Remarkable Paper Pro in the US on the 28th of May. This was a necessary step for us to be able to contend with evolving market dynamics and ensure we can continue to invest in developing the best possible products and experience for our customers.”
They went on to say, “This was a US-exclusive price adjustment to address the sustained impact of external economic factors, including trade tariffs, on the cost of bringing our products to the US market. We don’t have any price changes to announce for other regions or products at this time.”
The Remarkable Paper Pro features an 11.8-inch e-paper display with Canvas Color 3.0, based on E INK Gallery 3, and employs electrophoretic technology. The white and white colour content resolution is 2160 x 1620 with 229 PPI. Other paper tablets put a filter on a black-and-white display to produce colours. On Remarkable Paper Pro, coloured ink particles inside the display move around to render what users write and read. The natural colours evoke the feeling of a printed newspaper page. Compared to LCDs or LED screens on laptops and smartphones, the Canvas Color display doesn’t use bright, flickering lights to produce colours. The low-glare display reflects natural light for a more comfortable reading experience. In dim lighting conditions, a new adjustable reading light softly illuminates the display, making it possible to read and work for hours without eye strain.
Underneath the hood is a 1.8 GHz quad-core Cortex-A53 processor, 2 GB LPDDR4 RAM, and 64GB of internal storage. The device features a USB-C port for charging and transferring documents. Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz are available, primarily for accessing cloud services and downloading firmware updates. It is powered by a giant 5,030 mAh battery. The dimensions are 274.1 x 196.6 x 5.1 mm and approximately 525 g.
