reMarkable is a range of E Ink writing tablet for reading documents and textbooks, sketching and note-taking that attempts to fully replicate paper writing. Developed by a Norwegian startup company of the same name, the devices are geared towards students, academics and professionals. reMarkable uses electronic paper reading displays and tablet computer writing system. ==Writing Tablets== ==Operating system== ReMarkable uses its own operating system, named Codex. Codex is based on Linux and is optimized for electronic paper display technology. ==Reception== Of the first generation of the tablet, Remarkable 1 (or ReMarkable RM100 as known by its model number), launched in late 2017, suffered some criticism due to sluggishness when loading and unloading files. The Bad Voltage podcast stated that the lack of integrations with other software limits the device's usefulness for taking notes for some users, and there is no official third-party app ecosystem, but the ability to add software via unofficial hacks offers interesting possibilities. The second generation Remarkable 2 was released in May 20201, and a review by Wired, stated it "excels at taking your handwritten notes, but it doesn't do much else well." Other media outlets have seen the lack of a distraction or ability to do much else as positives.
