Remarkable’s refurbished Paper Pro bundle is hundreds off

Color E Ink tablets aren’t usually affordable. I’m not going to say that Woot’s price on a refurbished “good as new” Remarkable Paper Pro is cheap, but it’s pretty fantastic compared to buying one new. Normally $629 just for the tablet, you can get a bundle that includes the big 11.8-inch Paper Pro...

Let us filter AI slop, you cowards

It's almost impossible to avoid seeing AI-generated content online, but it doesn't have to be this way.
