As a true paper person, Magnus Wanberg, the CEO and founder of reMarkable, has always brought notebooks and stacks of paper with him to every class or meeting.

In 2013, Magnus, together with the rest of the reMarkable team, set out to create a connected and limitless digital paper experience. The first digital paper tablet for reading, writing and sketching.

It's pricy at (regular: $716, pre-order: $429) but with a 10 inch sceen + pen it might be interesting if they've managed to solve the refresh-rate of E-ink.

The CANVAS display was built from the ground-up together with our R&D partner E Ink, partially powered by E Ink Carta generation electronic paper.

I would have to see some demos of the tablet in actual use before deciding if it's worth the money.

I did a search for remarkable but stopped looking beyond page1, that's why I didn't catch: "reMarkable, a New eink device with pen support". Thanks for the link.
