Do you ever sit down to get things done, only to be instantly derailed by emails, social notifications or the sudden urge to Google literally anything?

And yet, the moment you switch to pen and paper the to-do list disappears into the abyss? Because same.

That’s exactly the problem Magnus Wanberg set out to solve when he created reMarkable back in 2013 – a device that gives you the paper experience you love, without any of the digital distractions you don’t.

Some may liken these devices to an iPad, Kindle or Tablet, but they’re more unique than that. Allowing you to read, write and sketch without distraction, reMarkable boasts a high-friction surface that mimics real paper, allowing you to doodle your ideas down digitally.

Refurbished – reMarkable 2 – Marker Plus – Folio

This refurbished bundle comes with the reMarkable 2, Marker Plus, new Folio and nine marker tips. Allowing you to read, write and sketch without distraction, the reMarkable 2 boasts a high-friction surface that mimics real paper, allowing you to doodle your ideas down digitally. The Marker Plus even has a matte finish and built-in eraser for quick and easy corrections.

Then, the paperless pad’s software turns your handwriting into neatly typed text, saving, syncing and organising your notes so your ideas never go missing again.

That means no more piles of paper notes, lost doodles or coffee stained documents. Hallelujah.

Better yet, this Black Friday, reMarkable has launched its biggest offer with exclusive discounts on new and refurbished device bundles, including the reMarkable 2 and the newer, larger reMarkable Paper Pro, both of which will be reduced by £50. 

A quick note: only bundles (not individual items) are discounted, but honestly, the bundles are where the real value is.

Refurbished – reMarkable Paper Pro – Marker – Book Folio (polymer)

This refurbished bundle comes with the reMarkable Paper Pro, Marker, new Book Folio and marker tips. This digital pad is ultra-slim and portable, but with a full-size 11.8” colour display, adjustable reading light, and an unmatched paper-like writing experience.

The reMarkable 2 usually retails for £389 including the marker, while the reMarkable Paper Pro goes for £559. However, the refurbished bundles include more items, and can save you more even without the sale discount, so it’s a no brainer.

For example, the refurbished reMarkable Paper Pro bundle with the marker and book folio will cost £538, which is less than buying a new reMarkable Paper Pro on its own (£559) – and that’s before the £50 discount.

Similarly, the refurbished reMarkable 2 is much more purse-friendly when you shop a refurbished bundle, with the reMarkable 2, Marker Plus and Folio (all refurbished) now coming in at just £329 down from £508.

Long story short: if you want the best value, refurbished bundles = double savings. It’s a no-brainer.

But what’s the difference between the reMarkable Paper Pro and reMarkable 2 we hear you ask?

They both offer the same, paper-like and distraction-free experience, but there are some subtle differences. Firstly, the size. The reMarkable Paper Pro is slightly larger in size than the reMarkable 2, and measures the same size as a piece of A4 paper.

The Paper Pro is also fractionally thicker and weighs slightly more, though both devices weigh under 1kg. 

The other difference is the Paper Pro has a colour screen, whereas the reMarkable 2 is black and white and doesn’t feature a reading light. 

The rare reMarkable sale will run from 20th November to 2nd December, so there’s plenty of time to grab a bargain – whether you’re snapping something up for yourself or a productivity-obsessed loved one.
