E-reader

There are a few options available for folks looking to supersize their e-reading experience to tablet proportions, including the Remarkable 2, Kindle Scribe and Lenovo's new Smart Paper. Onyx International has gone bigger with the launch of the Tab X.

Back in April, E Ink announced a new color ePaper technology with improved update times, high resolution and stylus support. Now Gallery 3 is going into mass production and the first device to launch is the Bigme Galy tablet.

While the Amazon Kindle does simulate the experience of reading a paper book, it doesn't let you hand-write notes onto the pages – at least, not until now. The new Kindle Scribe allows users to do exactly that, utilizing an included stylus.

Last month, E Ink launched a new version of its color ePaper for digital signage called Gallery Plus. Now the company is back with a version destined for e-readers that boasts fast update times, high resolution and pen input support.

Around a year ago, we got to gawp at the latest color electronic paper display technology from E Ink when we reviewed the excellent PocketBook InkPad Color e-reader. Now E Ink has launched a new generation that gives the color performance a boost.

It's been a while since Amazon treated digital bookworms to a new version of its Kindle Paperwhite ereader, and now the company is making up for that with a bigger display, longer battery life, USB-C, a special Signature Edition, and a kids version.

Rakuten Kobo's new Elipsa ereader is not only the largest that the company has produced so far, sporting a 10.3-inch E Ink touchscreen, but also the first to come with stylus input to allow for both reading and creating.

Last month, Switzerland's PocketBook announced the release of the InkPad Color, an e-reader built around E Ink's newest color screen technology. The company sent us a review unit and we've been reading in color ever since.

Barnes & Noble has joined forces with Lenovo to relaunch its 10.1-inch tablet, offering a "best of both worlds" reading experience, with access to millions of ebooks through the B&N app as well as everything you'd expect from a modern budget tablet.

Swiss e-reader maker PocketBook has launched a new device called the InkPad Color that's reckoned to be the first e-reader to sport the latest 7.8-inch color screen technology from E Ink.

Smartphones can be great for taking notes on the fly, but are not quite as satisfying as pen and paper. The reMarkable 2 is claimed to offer users a distraction-free, paper-like writing experience, and we've spent the last week or so trying one out.

Though doodling on a touchscreen tablet can get the job done, some prefer pen and paper. reMarkable combined the two in 2016 with a real paper look and feel, but digital tech running the show. Now the second generation has been announced.
