You could also erase through an onscreen tool and use the stylus tip, too. The back of the Remarkable's step-up version of its Marker ($99, sold separately) doubles as an eraser: just press on the tablet and use like a normal eraser. The tablet's interface is dead simple: There are sketch pages, templates, a few extra tools like adding layers to sketches and an in-beta way of casting your sketch live to the mobile/desktop app. I was shocked that both my kids just picked the tablet up and started doodling for a good hour or so (before losing interest and doing other things). I tried the tablet with its sold-separately leather folio, which is fancy, but costs extra. Why isn't there a sketchable E Ink Kindle, for example? I have no idea. But I've tried one out for a week or so and it has some really clever touches that should carry over to other devices.
That's expensive for a specific-use device intended mostly for sketching, drawing and as a note-taking digital companion. The new Remarkable 2 is a thinner revision of the original made by the same Norwegian startup, available to order for $399 with a marker and slip-cover included. The Remarkable tablet had a low-latency stylus and realistic-looking E Ink, which made for a tactile drawing experience that ended up feeling significantly different, if not necessarily better, than my time with iPads and Apple Pencils, or Microsoft Surface pens. A few years ago, I tried a demo of an E Ink sketching tablet that surprised me.
