Accessorise your reMarkable

The battery-free Marker Plus stylus, packaged with some tablet options and also sold separately, works like a real writing implement, except it supplies “digital ink”. It even has an eraser built-in – just turn it upside down! Over time, the Marker Plus tips for the reMarkable 2 will wear down – all of that creative juice flowing from brain to tablet – but you can purchase a Tips Refill pack of nine for a reasonable price that will last for ages. A pack of six for the Paper Pro is out on February 1. Depending on the model that you opt for, the reMarkable may also come with a handy protective Book Folio or Book Folio Pro. Made from premium, responsibly sourced leather, it snaps your tablet into place via powerful magnets for that extra peace of mind, and also stores your Marker Plus securely. There are also handy Type Folio Keyboard Covers available for both models, which turn your reMarkable tablet into a typing centre when required, and protect it when you’re using it with the stylus. The model for the Paper Pro is due at the beginning of February.

Discovering cool new technology is an exciting prospect! Each month we take a look at some of the latest tech products available from JB Hi-Fi.
