PaperPro Delivers Color E-Ink With 30-Day Battery Life — And It Wants to Replace Your iPad

E-Ink Partners launches PaperPro, a 10.3-inch color e-ink tablet using ACeP technology for 4,096 colors at 30Hz refresh. It supports stylus input and lasts 30 days on a charge, positioning itself as a healthier iPad alternative.

E-Ink Partners launched the PaperPro color e-ink tablet on April 8. The 10.3-inch device uses ACeP (Advanced Color ePaper) technology to display 4,096 colors, while boosting refresh rates from the traditional e-ink crawl of 1Hz to a smooth 30Hz.

PaperPro's headline feature is its paper-like reading experience: fully readable in direct sunlight, zero blue light emission, and no eye fatigue even after hours of continuous use. It supports stylus input with a 4,096-level pressure-sensitive pen and sub-20-millisecond latency.

Battery life is the killer spec — 30 days on four hours of daily use. The device weighs 380 grams and measures just 5.8 millimeters thick.

Priced at $499, PaperPro positions itself as a "healthy alternative" to the iPad. Early adopter feedback shows students and academic researchers are the most enthusiastic buyers. The company plans to release a 13.3-inch version in 2031.
