The new reMarkable Paper Pure wowed us with its 'flawless' pad-and-pen experience, but it's far from the only great handwriting tablet on the market — here are our top alternatives

The new reMarkable Paper Pure is an impressive handwriting tablet, but it's facing stiff competition in the e-ink slate market.

If you're thinking of buying one, it's worth taking a look at the alternatives to make sure there's not an option that'd be a better fit for you.

We've tested several excellent e-ink tablets; I've rounded up our favorites below.

The reMarkable Paper Pure has a 10.3-inch screen, which is the most common size for this kind of tablet.

However, if you'd prefer more writing real estate, the reMarkable Paper Pro has a more generous 11.8-inch screen.

Conversely, if you want something compact, the smartphone-sized Kobo Libra Colour and reMarkable Paper Pro Move are small enough to slip into a back pocket.

Although many of today's best ereaders are waterproof, once you add writing into the mix, waterproofing becomes a rare feature.

A notable exception is the aforementioned Kobo Libra Colour, which comes with an IPX8 rating.

So if you're prone to spillages or want to note-take in the tub, that's the model for you.

One of our only real complaints about the reMarkable Paper Pure is that it lacks a frontlight.

This is frustrating if you need to work in less-than-ideal lighting conditions, and especially so if you're hoping to use it for reading as well as writing.

Almost all the tablets listed below come with a frontlight — most are dimmable, and on some you can even change the color temperature.
