Is reMarkable like a regular tablet computer?
No, it is a purpose-built digital notebook for distraction-free handwriting, sketching, reading, and document markup. It deliberately lacks web browsers and apps by design to protect your focus.
-
Can I read books on it, and is there an app store?
There is no app store. You can read books, but it only supports DRM-free EPUB and PDF files. DRM-protected ebooks, such as those purchased from Kindle or Kobo, are not supported.
-
Is it normal to see screen ghosting on the display?
Yes, ghosting is completely normal for E-Ink displays, where traces of previously displayed images sometimes remain partially visible on the screen. It clears when the screen refreshes, so there's nothing to worry about.
-
Why does my reMarkable feel slower than a regular tablet?
It feels slightly slower because the display physically moves particles through liquid, rather than switching pixels on and off. This takes a fraction of a second longer to protect the display's long-term health, but is normal.

What system and handwriting languages are supported?
System languages include English, German, French, and Spanish. The handwriting conversion feature supports over 30 languages, including English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, and many others.
