Limitations of the reMarkable Paper Pro
While the reMarkable Paper Pro remains true to its “less is more” philosophy, this also means there are limitations, especially for business professionals looking for more robust functionality.
1. Lack of Third-Party Apps
The device does not support third-party apps, web browsing, or multimedia features such as audio or video playback. While this makes it ideal for focused work, professionals needing a more versatile tool for complex tasks may feel constrained.
2. Limited Template Options
Although the device offers a variety of basic templates, users with niche professional needs (e.g., engineers, designers) may find the pre-installed options too limited. More specific, customizable templates can be necessary for highly specialized tasks.
3. Advanced Organization Tools
Although the reMarkable Paper Pro has folders, tags, and search capabilities, users handling large volumes of documents might still find the organizational tools somewhat lacking for complex file management.
