Our verdict
reMarkable suits readers who want one focused writing tablet rather than a general-purpose screen, and it holds a strong position in this group. It prices from €399, ships across CA, US and HK, and backs that with a 50 day return window and email, chat and help centre.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Entry price of €399 sits below the upper end of the tablets and e-readers group.
- A 50 day return window gives a long stretch to decide on an e-ink device.
- Shipping covers CA, US and HK, so the store reaches well beyond a single market.
- Support runs on email, chat and help centre, including chat and a help centre.
- The range is focused on tablet, which keeps the specification set consistent across devices.
Cons
- The range covers tablet only, so there is no second form factor to compare against the tablet and e-reader lists at asgoodasnew and Coolblue Belgium.
- Build to order is no, so configured options and delivery choices are not part of the offer.
- Support runs on email, chat and help centre, with no phone line listed alongside them.
Who it suits
- Readers who want a dedicated e-ink writing device and nothing else in the box, since the range is tablet only.
- Shoppers in the CA, US and HK list who prefer buying direct from the maker rather than through a retailer.
- Anyone giving a device a long trial at home, helped by a 50 day return window.
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone shopping for a laptop or desktop in the same basket, since the range is tablet only and Loop Mobile covers laptops and desktops.
- Readers who want a phone line for hardware problems, because support runs on email, chat and help centre.
- Buyers who want a built-to-order configuration, since build to order is no.
Core features
reMarkable keeps its offer deliberately narrow. The range covers tablet, so a single specification path runs from the cheapest device upward rather than several unrelated product families. Build to order is no, which means configured options and pick-your-own-specs ordering are not part of the purchase, and what you choose is what ships. The entry point is €399, and every device above it follows the same e-ink writing format rather than branching into separate models with different screen sizes and capabilities. Returns run for 50 days from the point of purchase, a long window for a device that replaces paper rather than a laptop, and long enough to judge handwriting feel, screen warmth and battery habit before committing.
The company behind it
The devices are made by reMarkable AS, a company founded in 2013 and selling direct from its own store. That structure means the maker, not a reseller, handles the order, the warranty conversation and any after-sales question, and there is no middle layer between the buyer and the company that built the device. Support runs on email, chat and help centre: email, chat and a self-serve help centre, with no phone line listed for hardware problems. The store reaches CA, US and HK, which is broad for a single-brand shop and covers the UK, most of Europe and a wide set of markets across Asia, the Middle East and Oceania. Buyers outside that list would need a regional retailer rather than the direct store.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a reMarkable tablet cost?+
reMarkable starts at €399 for the tablet line, and that is the entry price buyers pay at checkout rather than a discounted trial or an introductory tier. Nothing in the range is sold on a subscription, so the figure you see is the figure you pay.
How long do I get to return a reMarkable?+
You have 50 days to return a device, counted from the point of purchase rather than from delivery. That window is longer than the short return periods many tablet sellers offer, and it sits alongside a refund rather than a store credit.
What kinds of devices does reMarkable sell?+
reMarkable sells the tablet category and nothing else, so every device in the range is the same kind of product. Buyers wanting a laptop or desktop alongside a tablet will find those at Loop Mobile instead.
Where can I buy a reMarkable?+
The store ships to CA, US and HK, which covers the UK, much of Europe and a spread of markets across Asia, the Middle East and Oceania. If your market is not on that list, a retailer in the region is the practical route instead.
Who makes reMarkable tablets?+
The company behind the devices is reMarkable AS, which was founded in 2013. It sells direct from its own store rather than through resellers, so support and warranty questions stay with the maker.
How do I contact reMarkable support?+
Help comes through email, chat and help centre. There is no phone line listed, so complex hardware issues are handled in writing, which suits anyone comfortable with email and the help centre.
Can I configure a reMarkable when I order?+
Devices are not built to order, so what ships is what sits in the range rather than a configuration chosen at checkout. Buyers who want to pick specifications should compare the same category at Coolblue Belgium instead.
