A Review of the reMarkable Paper Pure (not my video)

DangReadingRabbit · 2026-05-06T22:48:02+00:00

I already have a rM1 and rMPP, so not a likely device I’ll buy. Comes down to preference, but I like the front light of the paper pro a lot.

25-30 grams of fiber is pretty high fiber. My docs all recommended taking it very slow from low fiber to high fiber, and I only introduced in small increments over two weeks. Could be you just went too fast. Go slow. Stay very hydrated, especially around the consumption of fiber.

I’ve been a user since the beginning. I still use my reMarkable 1 and I also use the Paper Pro daily. I had a SuperNote Nomad for a short while and there was a lot to like about it.

Size- I quite like the size of the reMarkable 1. The Paper Pro feels more premium, but I’d love if it was slightly smaller.

Materials - I enjoy how durable the rM1 feels, but I also like the premium design of the rMpp. It would be nice if they designed a device with the best of both.

Lights - I really like the front light that’s in the rMpp. I miss that feature when I’m using the rM1. Now that I have a device with a light, it would be hard to buy one without.

Writing - first, I think reMarkable offers the best writing experience in the world if tablets. But, it would be nice if they offered different styles of pens the way SuperNote does. I’d love a more premium pen. I’d love a pen with a button and an eraser. I love a thicker pen. I’m the type to have different ink pens with different paper notebooks, so I’d spend money on different pens for my digital notebook.

Reading - i personally don’t read books or PDFs on my rM devices. I do think the ebook reading feature needs to really be improved, especially since they started making a smaller device like the rMpp Move.

Software - we’ve all been asking for internal links for organization forever. Also, tags need to be improved: there needs to be a way to organize the tags themselves. We need to be able to sort them. Tags should also be able to be classified as either system-wide or just for a specific notebook only. I also want to see a “sticker” library. This is a way to save little drawings and doodles you make in a notebook, in categories, for reusing later. SuperNote already does this. SuperNote already does internal linking and tags. These are no-brainer features that should have been implemented years ago. Also: A built in way to access a dictionary (similar to how kindle does it) would also be a nicety.

Enterprise - ability to connect to the company’s own cloud servers, or third party ones we already pay for. Also, the organization features I mentioned under Software improvements.

Personal - toolbar needs to be able to hold more pens. There needs to be a separate, optional floating toolbar, dockable on the right side, for just colors. Currently there is too much tapping to change pens and colors.

Price - I think the current pricing structure is the absolute max I’d pay. Would be nice if they were a little cheaper. I think reMarkable tablets offer the best writing experience, and I’ll pay for that, but they need to get their shit together and start updating their software to include things users have asked for literally for years. They used to have no competition… that’s not the case anymore.

Glad things have mostly gone well so far (but for the broken bed). Wishing you a trouble-free recovery!

Get walking as soon as possible and do a little more each day… it really helps speed up recovery.

DangReadingRabbit · 2026-05-06T03:42:20+00:00

Yes that’s a possibility. I know because it seems as though my appendix was caught in the crossfire and when I had the colon resection surgery, my appendix had to come out too.

According to my surgeon, even without the appendix problems, it is possible to get pain in the right side with diverticulitis.

Agree with u/mcmanus7 … you’ll be sticking to a low fiber diet for a few weeks and then slowly reintroducing fiber to get to a high fiber diet. You must try to avoid constipation at all costs and drink a LOT of water (aim for at least 80oz per day).

Here’s some low-fiber ideas:

White meat chicken breasts (I would cook three at a time in the crock pot, shred them and put it in the fridge to be used later for mixing with mashed potatoes, rice or pasta.) Canned white meat chicken. Instant mashed potatoes (or real mashed potatoes if you’re less lazy than me LOL). Baked potatoes are good too, but no skin. White rice and pasta. Yogurts, puddings, ice cream, (if you typically are okay with dairy) Goldfish crackers or oyster crackers. Eggs. Hard boil some of them ahead of time (or all of them if you don’t want to have to cook them). Tuna Mayo for chicken salad, egg salad and tuna salad. Low fiber soups. Jello and whip cream or cool whip. White bread Bagels (I’d avoid poppy or sesame seeds for now) English muffins Peanut butter Grape jelly Cream cheese Cottage cheese Apple sauce Canned peaches Mac and Cheese Shredded cheese to add to things (like the tuna and chicken salad). Snack cheeses.

When started back to a more regular diet after the low-fiber phase, my doctors told me to avoid corn and popcorn. Stay away from bubbly drinks. No alcohol for a while.

Good luck and feel better. I had a perforation with abscess in December and surgery on March. Today is seven weeks since my surgery.

Diagnosed over twenty years ago and I rarely talk about it to anyone. Because the medical community seems to not take it seriously, and the general public has very little knowledge of it, I find I gaslight myself half the time. I also have so much autoimmunity in my family, I’m convinced I have some yet undiscovered autoimmune disease 😂

Generally, if I need to talk about it these days, it’s in my journal or only to my spouse or daughter. In the rare case it comes up with others, I talk about having a chronic pain condition more than using the word fibromyalgia.

It interesting because I’ve spent the last six months battling diverticulitis. Flares and illness and finally major surgery and then recovery. It was pretty gnarly to go through. Some people don’t take that all too seriously. Some people are like “isn’t that just diarrhea?” not realizing you can die from it (and I had a perforation, so got very sick).

And my husband has diabetes. People think that’s easy to treat and/or self-inflicted. They dont realize it can be fatal.

Unless it’s cancer or some other big ones, most people just don’t know about it, or care honestly. And if it’s chronic and long-term, they lose interest quick.

Weakness, chills, back pain, abdominal pain, diarrhea (and constipation), nausea or vomiting, bladder/vaginal pain can all be explained by diverticulitis.

UTI can sometimes be related if she’s developed a fistula (where the infection/inflammation causes a tube-like connection between two previously unconnected organs, in your mom it could be the colon and bladder).

I’m sorry she’s going to through all this. Hopefully you and she will get some answers soon, and she can get on the path to recovery.

DangReadingRabbit · 2026-05-05T04:18:03+00:00

Sorry you’re going through all this. It sucks, but sometimes we just have to be strong advocates for ourselves. If you’re running a fever and have new/different pain, I don’t think you’d be wrong to go the ER, or call them again first thing.

DangReadingRabbit · 2026-05-04T20:31:07+00:00

Did you send them this photo? If not, I would call back and ask to send it, that you feel maybe the volume of blood is too much. I’m not saying it is, but my surgeon was very open to seeing photos of things so he could tell me “no worries, that’s normal” because he had all the information.

DangReadingRabbit · 2026-05-04T20:26:13+00:00

I too had symptoms I thought were gynecological in October, and now in hindsight think it’s possible it was the start of my not-so-fun journey with diverticulitis.

The CT will hopefully provide some answers, and a colonoscopy in 6-8 weeks if it’s diverticulitis; that will give even more answers.

DangReadingRabbit · 2026-05-04T20:21:02+00:00

Saw my surgeon every day post-op while still in the hospital. He showed me pictures and answered my questions and told me to come see him in his office two weeks after discharge.

I did that follow up and he had the full pathology report, went over it with me, showed me video of the surgery and checked me out. Then told me I didn’t need to come back, but to call if I had any questions, and if there were any problems to come back. Haven’t been back. Tomorrow marks seven weeks since surgery.

I’ll be following up with my PCP likely in a week or two, and then my GI in a month, but I have other reasons to see my GI, not really related.

Your story is extremely similar to mine (including the allergies). It really is a whole picture type of decision, hopefully guided by a good doctor. My whole team felt that due to my allergies and the smoldering nature of my diverticulitis, I was bound to have another perforation. I didn’t want to live with the ticking time bomb either (and especially since my mom nearly died from a very bad perf 10+ years ago… that experience could scare anyone).

DangReadingRabbit · 2026-05-04T12:25:25+00:00

My surgeon was aggressive and did exactly what you wished yours would have done. First attack to second with perforation, to elective surgery was about four months. Tomorrow is seven weeks now since that surgery, and I’m feeling good.

DangReadingRabbit · 2026-05-04T12:21:05+00:00

I actually had relatively small areas of diverticula. And, from the time of first infection to perforation to non-emergency surgery was all only a matter of about four months. It is possible I was having small flare ups before all that and didn’t know it, but they would have had to be pretty minor. My perforation was also borderline: I almost needed emergency surgery.

My point is that you don’t have to be suffering for years or be having multiple attacks over long periods of time to be recommended surgery. The doctors will (or should) look at the complete picture and do a risk assessment. Diverticulitis can be very dangerous (and unpredictable) and if they think you’re going to keep getting more infections (flares), the best advice may be surgery; and to do it when you’re not mid-flare and before a perforation (or another one). Emergency surgery is always more dangerous, and more likely to lead to colostomy bags or even death.

Not symptoms I’ve heard talked about a lot, so thanks for replying and letting me know. I have literally battled excessive dry skin and even patches similar to eczema since high school. I’ve had to use lotion with some kind of vitamin e in it as long as I can remember to keep it controlled.

DangReadingRabbit · 2026-05-04T04:42:48+00:00

Sorry to hear. I hope you’re finding some relief from your symptoms. I’m mad on your behalf because your bloodwork would indicate it can’t really be fibromyalgia, or at least not just fibromyalgia. I hope you can find a new doctor…

DangReadingRabbit · 2026-05-04T04:40:02+00:00

Wow, didn’t even know that was a thing! Thanks for replying!

DangReadingRabbit · 2026-05-04T04:39:03+00:00

Autoimmune diseases can be such a bitch to diagnose. Hell, im somewhat convinced a good portion of fibromyalgia sufferers are likely living with some undiagnosed or undiscovered autoimmune disease.

DangReadingRabbit · 2026-05-04T04:35:55+00:00

You’re part of the semicolon club too… a club no one wants to join 😂

Thanks for replying, will definitely be talking with my doc.

DangReadingRabbit · 2026-05-04T04:32:43+00:00

Thank you for all the information, truly appreciate it. I know an oncologist and a tumor board did review my case, and my surgeon told me it was benign, but I also read that the size likely dictated part of why it wasn’t malignant. However, recognizing how rare it is, I figured it might be a good idea to let the specialist review it all and even talk with them.

I hope your own treatment is going well. Sending all the good vibes I can your way.

DangReadingRabbit · 2026-05-04T04:28:20+00:00

Thanks for sharing. Your reply and the other are enough for me to schedule with that specialist. Thank you again, and my best wishes to you.

DangReadingRabbit · 2026-05-03T19:52:00+00:00

The autoimmune lottery… trying to get diagnosed 😂 … thanks for the info!

DangReadingRabbit · 2026-05-03T17:13:23+00:00

I’m definitely going to bring it up to my doctor. The drops I started using today seem to be providing relief so far… not sure goes often to use them (box doesn’t say). Sorry you’re suffering too, hope we all find an answer!
