A Game-Changer for Mobile Executives?
If you’re like many of our readers—executives, consultants, and mobile professionals—you already understand the power of distraction-free productivity. reMarkable’s e-ink tablets are designed for just that. The reMarkable 2 was a breakthrough. The reMarkable Paper Pro added a colored display, backlighting, and a more responsive writing expereince. Now, with the reMarkable Paper Pro Move, reMarkable is doubling down on the ability to focus while on the move.
We’ve taken the new Paper Pro Move for a spin. Here’s what you need to know—and how it compares to its predecessors.
What’s New in the reMarkable Paper Pro Move?
The “Move” in Paper Pro Move refers to two key upgrades that make this device even more powerful on the go:
- New Form Factor: The Move has a smaller, more elongated form factor. This shape is reminiscent of a reporter’s notebook or a Rhodia Staplebound Notepad. The shape is useful in either landscape or portrait configurations
- Top Menu: The reMarkable Move’s form factor required engineers to change the software layout. The new configuration places the typical side menu along the top of the paper screen.
Other enhancements (over the reMarkable 2) include:
- Improved pen latency (15ms)
- Higher contrast screen for easier outdoor reading
- Type Folio compatibility with magnetic auto-align (same as Paper Pro)
In short, the Paper Pro Move delivers hardware-level workflow upgrades that are especially useful in dynamic, high-travel roles.

Is It Worth the Upgrade?
If you’re a current reMarkable 2 user, the Paper Pro Move might be a compelling upgrade if:
- You attend a lot of meetings or travel frequently, where a smaller footprint would be useful
- You use the tablet for reading/reference in real time
- You attend conferences where you need the ability to take notes but stow your device afterwards
- You want a pocket sized tablet that you can jot notes on forever (you won’t even notice it in your briefcase)
If you already have the Paper Pro, you’ll want to consider whether the stand and quick switch button justify the price bump. For many, the Move is the first reMarkable to truly feel like a tablet built for mobile professionals.
It’s also worth noting that the external case options (called Folio by reMarkable) is currently limited to relatively expensive OEM products. We’ll report back as new options come to market.
Who Should Buy the Paper Pro Move?
This device is tailor-made for:
- Executives traveling between cities who need a mobile, professional setup (which could slip into a sport coat pocket)
- Writers who want to be able to jot down thoughts on the move
- Army Officers who want to keep their reMarkable in a uniform pocket
- List Makers who want to have their device along side them at all times
And like all reMarkable devices, it avoids the usual distractions of email and notifications—allowing you to truly focus. This product is a great step towards digital minimalism. It also provides the same templates that are useful for organizing your thoughts and ideas.
Final Thoughts
The reMarkable Paper Pro Move is a thoughtful evolution in the reMarkable lineup. If you’re using your tablet professionally—to take notes, manage documents, or stay focused—this could be the best tool yet for effective work on the move.
Want our recommendation? If you’re buying your first reMarkable, go with the reMarkable 2. If you’re already using a reMarkable 2, it’s time to consider whether the new form factor of the reMarkable Paper Pro Move is right for your lifestyle.
