Who really has time for paper these days, right?
I’ve been using the Notable Paper Pro for a few months now. Honestly, it became my go-to for note-taking and organizing thoughts, especially at work or on the train. Quite a few colleagues stopped by to ask about this “magical” tool on my desk.
So, when I heard about the new launch of the Notable Paper Move, a smaller 7.3-inch version, I was a bit skeptical. Did I really need it? I mean, I already had everything I thought I needed, right?
Turns out I was wrong.
The Original Pro has been a game-changer for me, especially for reading long meeting notes and PDFs. But the Paper Pro Move has this fantastic advantage—its portability. It’s small and light enough to slide into my back pocket. Because of that, I actually find myself reaching for it more often.
The Notable Paper Move is this nifty 7.3-inch color E-ink digital notebook tailored for focused writing, sketching, and jotting down memos. It’s lightweight, has a battery that lasts about two weeks, and even converts handwritten notes to text. Overall, it’s a great portable tool for meetings, journaling, and creative tasks.
I took my Paper Pro Move to every meeting for days. Instead of juggling laptop tabs while fumbling with my bigger devices, I could simply whip out this pocket notebook. The eInk screen, with its textured feel, mimics paper and allows for smooth handwriting.
As for battery life? Still impressive. Even with frequent use, it takes quite a while before needing a recharge. What’s even better is the instant syncing between devices. So, whatever brilliant ideas I jot down during my morning train ride are readily available for afternoon meetings.
Plus, the handwriting recognition means I can search my notes later without losing the uniqueness of my own scrawl. My only real issue is that, like many devices that do this, my printed notes can get a bit aggressive in text conversion. It would be great to choose or tweak the writing style for this feature. Just something to consider when switching through different setups!
The Notable Paper Move isn’t watered down at all—quite the opposite. It offers a unique writing experience, although the page-flipping speed might be a tad slow for those expecting the fast-tracked performance of an iPad. Still, I adjusted to that within a few days, and honestly, the benefits outweigh this minor hiccup.
While it costs over $449, especially with the Marker Plus Stylus, it feels like a worthy investment considering how I use it regularly to its full potential.
Surprisingly, scaling down with the Paper Pro Move has made it even more useful for me. The Original Pro is ideal for in-depth work when I’m at my desk, but the Move easily accompanies me to meetings, allowing me to capture and revisit notes effortlessly on the go, whether on my device or computer.
In a tech world that’s often about bigger and flashier, the Notable Paper Move proves that sometimes, smaller can be smarter. It fits seamlessly into my daily routine, and I honestly didn’t realize how much I needed it until I started using it.
