2021. Remarkable Update Improves eBook Layout and Adds Pinch Zooming (Video)


A new software update (2.6) has been released for the Remarkable paper tablet that introduces the ability to use pinch zooming, which functions with PDFs, ePubs and note documents. Once zoomed in, you can use two fingers to navigate around the page and you can write and use the selection tool while zoomed in. The tablet has also finally added hyperlink support to PDFs, allowing you to follow embedded links and they even included a link to return to the previous location, though it frustratingly disappears after a few seconds. Another enhancement in the 2.6 update is improved eBook formatting for ePub files. Text is now justified by default (with an option for left-justified text as well) and margins are more consistent. Book covers have also seen improvements.
