This tablet with Kindle-like e-ink display and stylus support launched in India: price, features

The Kindle largely brought the culture of e-ink displays but it’s not the only product that uses a power-friendly panel. We’ve seen other brands use the technology for their devices and the latest is a tablet that also supports a stylus and keyboard stand.

An e-ink tablet from the brand called Remarkable has been launched in India and will be available next month. The device runs on a Linux-based platform which means you get app support and it’s easy to sync with Windows, iOS, and Android devices.

The Remarkable tablet with e-ink display is priced at Rs 43,999 with a stylus bundled in the box. You also get a 1-year trial of its Connect service which offers unlimited cloud storage, device security, and more.

So, what exactly does the tablet offer and how is it different from a regular tab? The tablet has a 10.3-inch display with an e-ink panel like you see on Kindle e-readers. It’s not intended for watching videos or playing games, which explains the use of a dual-core chipset with 1GB of RAM and just 8GB of onboard storage.

Running on a Linux-based OS gives the device the scope to work with this hardware. The stylus runs without batteries and you don’t even need to connect it. The tablet lets you connect via Wi-Fi and has a USB-C port for charging the built-in 3,000mAh battery. The most useful feature is that you get left-handed mode which is rare to find on most devices.
