reMarkable Paper Pro Move Review: Honest 2025 Hands-On Experience

The reMarkable Paper Pro Move is more than an e-ink tablet — it’s a deliberate shift toward distraction-free productivity. After weeks of hands-on testing, this review covers what the new model gets right, what still needs improvement, and how it fits into modern creative and professional workflows.
Design and Build Quality
Minimalism defines the Paper Pro Move. The magnesium frame feels premium yet feather-light. Buttons are subtly integrated, and the display’s matte finish replicates the texture of real paper better than any digital screen before it.
The bezels are thinner, giving it a cleaner look while maintaining a comfortable grip. The pen magnet snaps firmly into place, reducing the chance of loss during travel.
Writing and Reading Experience
Writing on the Paper Pro Move feels natural — smooth, tactile, and lag-free. The improved latency makes handwriting flow like ink. It captures pen pressure perfectly, whether sketching or taking quick notes.
Reading documents and PDFs is equally pleasant. The adaptive contrast boosts clarity under different lighting, and the new refresh rate nearly eliminates ghosting, creating a crisp, paper-like display.
Performance and Battery Life
Despite being distraction-free, the Paper Pro Move’s hardware handles multitasking easily. Switching between notebooks, planners, and PDFs is instantaneous. Battery life comfortably extends beyond two weeks on typical use, with standby lasting even longer.
Text Conversion and Cloud Sync
The integrated handwriting recognition converts notes into clean, editable text. The conversion accuracy is impressive — especially for cursive writing. The reMarkable Cloud sync keeps documents accessible on desktop and mobile, maintaining your notes across devices.
Using Templates on the Paper Pro Move
Templates elevate this device from note-taker to productivity hub. Layouts like the Daybook Planner for reMarkable Paper Pro Move turn it into a hyperlinked planner for managing time, goals, and finances. Templates make the tablet more structured, visual, and intentional.
