A TCL NxtPaper 11 is "paper-like" and about 1/2 the price. Comparable reading time to an eink ereader.
This is the last gasp of a niche company that's had one and a half products in their entire existence. I had a reMarkable. An awkward copy of a Sony DPT. No USB MTP or storage. It was a stupid design of PDF and notes, not an ereader.
$579 for something that's like treacle to use is really bad value.
The official page is high on hype and sparse on any details, like the company has always been.
Page turn time?
How does notetaking work? Regular eink is 10 times faster and can't do conversion preview.
Storage for user documents?
Metadata/search support. The eink reMarkable has little more than a file browser. Useless for a large library.
This probably is not an ereader and is likely poorer than reMarkable 2 for notes.

As I'm sure you know, Remarkable devices have
never been adequate ereaders. Remarkable is very upfront that this device, like the Remarable 2 (which is
not going away, this device is not meant to completely replace the RM2, just to add to the product line) has a list of stuff it doesn't do that's longer than the list of things it can do. That's the point of their products. This device doesn't even have a clock display.
According to the TechRadar review of the Paper Pro, RM is upfront about the fact they reject about 95% of user suggestions for new features. Their latest major new feature, allowing users to edit documents using the RM app took years for them to decide to do.
The thing that makes this device a "no" for me is RM isn't using Wacom EMR tech for this device. They're using propritary technology for the Marker. Lose it, and (at least for now) you'll have to get a new Marker from RM.
