Notebook-sized wonder: the reMarkable Paper Pro Move shines as a premium paper tablet

A Creative Bloq reviewer calls the reMarkable Paper Pro Move his favorite gadget of the decade, praising its paper-like writing experience, premium aluminum build, and portability. The compact, notebook-sized device uses a color e-ink display with backlight and excels as a standalone writing/reading tool, though it trades ecosystem integration and preserves a taller aspect ratio that can crop documents when syncing. Priced at $499, it stands out as a premium, portable notebook rather than a full reMarkable ecosystem solution.

From E-Reader to Multi-Tool: Three Hacks for an Old Kindle

The WIRED piece shows three ways to repurpose an aging Kindle: (1) turn it into a Spotify controller using Spotify Connect via the Kindle’s browser—no music stored on the device, just remote control; (2) convert the e-reader into a smart home display that streams weather, calendars, and delivery status from third-party services through custom setups; and (3) create a literary clock that displays a book quote for every minute, using pre-made images and scripts. All options vary in difficulty and require online guides, appealing to tech-hobbyists who enjoy hardware and software tinkering.

The 1986 200-Volt Persistent Display That Never Arrived

A BBC Archive clip from 1986 shows STC’s prototype persistent display—a liquid-filled panel where molecules align to let light through or block it, driven by a high ~200-volt activation. Unlike modern e-ink, this design aimed to hold an image without continuous power, but the demanding voltage and other hurdles kept it from mass adoption, making it a fascinating glimpse of an almost-made technology from the era.

Fridge Memories Go Digital: The Battery-Free NFC E‑Ink Snap

VidaBay’s Snap is a 2.5‑inch, battery‑free NFC E‑Ink fridge magnet that you update from your phone; image transfer takes about 10 seconds and the 25–30 second refresh yields a lo‑fi four‑color look (black, white, red, yellow) on a Spectra 3100 screen. Alignment is fiddly—phone must be very close and often requires removing a case—so setup can take a few tries. Priced around $30 per unit (discounted) or $89 for a three‑pack, it’s a budget alternative to traditional photo frames for displaying memories on your fridge.
