ReMarkable has announced the Paper Pro, the company’s first e-ink tablet with a color display and backlight. The 11.8” display supports nine colors when writing with the stylus. The reMarkable Paper Pro is available now for $649.

Of tablet has a reMarkable-customized Canvas Color display that has a latency of 12ms, 40 percent lower than the reMarkable 2.
