reMarkable Paper Pro VS ShellNewHandler

• Paper-like writing experience
  The reMarkable Paper Pro features a high-quality e-ink display with low latency pen input that closely mimics the feel of writing on real paper, making it ideal for note-taking, sketching, and document annotation.
• Color e-ink display
  Unlike previous reMarkable models, the Paper Pro introduces a color e-ink screen, allowing users to take notes, highlight, and annotate documents in color, significantly enhancing organization and visual clarity.
• Distraction-free design
  The device is purpose-built for reading, writing, and thinking without the distractions of social media, notifications, or app ecosystems found on traditional tablets, helping users stay focused and productive.
• Excellent PDF and document handling
  The reMarkable Paper Pro excels at importing, reading, and annotating PDFs and other documents, making it a powerful tool for professionals, researchers, and students who work with large volumes of written material.
• Thin and lightweight build
  The device maintains a slim, lightweight form factor that makes it highly portable and comfortable to hold for extended reading and writing sessions, similar to carrying a thin notebook.

Possible disadvantages

• Premium pricing
  The reMarkable Paper Pro comes at a high price point compared to other tablets and e-readers, and additional costs for the stylus, folio covers, and the optional Connect subscription can make the total investment quite steep.
• Limited app ecosystem
  Unlike iPads or Android tablets, the reMarkable Paper Pro runs a proprietary OS with no access to third-party apps, meaning you cannot install Kindle, Notion, web browsers, or other productivity tools directly on the device.
• Connect subscription for full features
  Key features like cloud syncing, integration with Google Drive and Dropbox, handwriting conversion, and screen sharing require an ongoing Connect subscription, adding a recurring cost on top of the hardware purchase.
• E-ink display limitations
  Despite having color, the e-ink screen still has slower refresh rates compared to LCD/OLED displays, limited color vibrancy, and is not ideal for media consumption, web browsing, or any task requiring fast screen updates.
• No built-in backlight on all conditions
  While the Paper Pro includes a front light, the e-ink display can still be difficult to read in very low-light environments compared to traditional tablets, and the overall brightness and evenness may not satisfy all users.

• Ask HN: Can we make a computer screen light in color when turned off?

  Not all displays default to blackness when there's no energy. (And also, there are color e-ink devices in the wild now, like https://us.kobobooks.com/products/kobo-libra-colour or https://remarkable.com/store/remarkable-paper/pro). - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• I recently got libreoffice, but now the new option in right click looks like a mess. Can someone help me get rid of them please?

  Use Shell New Handler. Run the portable app and simply untick the items you don't want to appear in your new context menu. Source: about 4 years ago

• This menu should be easy to add/remove programs to... Who is really creating Access Databases from this menu often enough to keep it here? (Not me!) Is there an easy way to edit this?

  I've always used ShellNewHandler for this. It's a really simple portable utility that allows you to remove most of the items from that menu. Tested it out on Windows 11 and it's still compatible. Source: over 5 years ago
