reMarkable’s new Paper Pure tablet goes back to basics with a monochrome screen
After exploring the bigger market for productivity tablets featuring color displays with the Paper Pro and the smaller Paper Pro Move, E Ink tablet maker reMarkable is returning to its roots with a new monochrome device called the Paper Pure.
The new, $399 Paper Pure succeeds the monochrome reMarkable 2 after six years, and comes with more powerful hardware as well as modern software features that make it competitive in today’s tablet market.
The Paper Pure has a 10.3-inch display when measured diagonally, the same as the reMarkable 2, but the new one is wider, which, the company says, makes it easier to take notes and read text. Notably, the resolution hasn’t changed between the two tablets, staying at 1872 x 1404 pixels with a pixel density of 226 PPI.
The tablet also comes with 32GB of storage, four times the amount you got on its predecessor, and is also about 40 grams lighter, weighing 360 grams.
ReMarkable said the Paper Pure is 50% more responsive than the reMarkable 2, and offers 30% more battery life with its 3,820 mAh battery.
The company has added a slew of new features to the tablet to bring it up to par with modern productivity tools, including support for a web app. The Paper Pure lets you sync your calendar, as well as take and share notes for a particular meeting. And if you import documents from cloud storage services, the online sync service will automatically convert them into a notebook suited for reading and annotating on the tablet itself. The company said it also comes with better handwriting search capabilities.
The Paper Pure integrates with Slack, too, so you can convert handwritten notes into typed text that you can share. It also integrates with collaboration tool Miro, letting you share sketches and the like.

The Norwegian company said it now plans to sunset production of the reMarkable 2, but will still offer software updates and support to existing customers.
The Paper Pure’s base model comes bundled with a stylus, and the costlier $449 version gets you a fancier stylus, dubbed Marker Plus, that includes an eraser function, plus a sleeve folio in various colors. Users can order the device starting today, and shipping is expected to start in early June.
The company said it has sold more than 3.5 million devices so far, and that it has 1.2 million subscribers for its Connect service, which offers unlimited cloud storage, exclusive templates, and the ability to create links to share notes or sketches.

The vice-presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, Rabiu Kwankwaso, has demanded an independent investigation into suspected AI-generated photographs and questionable records in the preliminary voter register released by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Kwankwaso questioned how the suspicious images entered the register and whether the identities linked to the records were properly verified.
In a statement shared on X, Kwankwaso said INEC’s decision to investigate the matter was welcome but insisted that the probe must be transparent and conducted independently of the commission.
“The investigation must be thorough, transparent and independent,” he said, demanding that the findings be made public and anyone found culpable be held accountable under the law.
He also called for an independent audit of the preliminary register, including checks for questionable entries, duplicate records and artificial identities.

From Producing Nigerian Internationals to Building Their Own Stadium: Buruj Sports Academy Takes Bold Step as Ikorodu Football Dream Attracts Investors
Buruj Sports Academy is turning years of grassroots football success into an ambitious infrastructure project, unveiling a proposed stadium development in Ikorodu, Lagos State, aimed at transforming opportunities for young Nigerian footballers.
The academy, founded by Dr. Waheed Salaudeen, has presented a new development layout featuring a standard 105m × 68m football pitch, spectator stand, changing rooms, administrative and first-aid facilities, toilets, parking spaces and perimeter security.
The project represents a significant step toward establishing a permanent home for the academy’s growing football development programme.
Buruj’s ambitions are backed by its record of nurturing promising talents, including former Nigeria Under-15 internationals Raheem Moyinoluwa Salaudeen and Fawas Ayomide Adeleke, who represented Nigeria in youth competitions in Morocco and Algeria.
The academy has also facilitated opportunities for players in Spain and Lithuania, while six Buruj youngsters recently earned selection for an international football exposure programme following the Italian Consulate General U-20 Tournament.
Unlike its earlier three-acre, 5,000-seat stadium concept, the latest architectural proposal adopts a more practical, phased approach, beginning with an approximately 80–100-seat stand and essential football facilities. Punch Newspapers +1
Dr. Salaudeen, who serves as founder and Chief Executive Officer, has consistently championed football development alongside education.
“This dream is bigger than Buruj Sports Academy alone. We are appealing to private individuals, corporate organizations, investors, and well-meaning Nigerians to support this vision.”
His appeal reflects a determination to build a sustainable sporting institution capable of serving generations of young Nigerians. Sports247 Nigeria +1
For potential investors, the project offers opportunities in stadium naming rights, facility sponsorship, youth development partnerships, football tournaments and community sports programmes.
With a survey document and proposed layout now presented, Buruj is inviting partners to help turn its vision into reality, subject to necessary technical assessments and development approvals.
From discovering football stars to building the infrastructure that produces them, Buruj Sports Academy is no longer simply dreaming of the future — it is preparing to build it.
