If there’s a pantheon of digital notebooks, reMarkable has a place of pride. When the company released its reMarkable 2 tablet and stylus in 2020, it was a game changer for its sharp, professional design, innovative features, and especially its smooth, paper-like writing experience. Even years later, folks over in the r/reMarkableTablet subreddit consider it a best-in-class device, even if they’ve since upgraded to the newer reMarkable Paper Pro, which adds a backlight and a color screen.

Either one of these tablets is an excellent choice for anyone looking for an e-ink digital notebook built for creativity: Unlike some competitors, reMarkable tablets don’t run apps or try to replace your iPad. Like a paper notebook, they are designed to eliminate distractions and leave you alone with a blank page, but unlike a paper notebook, the work you do in them can be easily uploaded to the cloud, sent to your co-workers, and otherwise integrated into your workflow.

If you’ve been looking to pick up one of these immensely useful gadgets, now is a good time: Though they rarely go one sale, you can currently pick up either one in a discounted Black Friday bundle that includes a cover and stylus.

This bundle includes the reMarkable 2, a folio, and the Marker Plus stylus with eraser. You can choose between a leather folio for $529 on Amazon (down from the usual price of $599) or a cloth-bound folio. If you choose a cloth-bound folio instead, you’ll pay $499—a less impressive $30 discount, but a discount all the same.

If you want a color screen and a front light, you’ll need the upgraded reMarkable Paper Pro. For the tablet in a bundle with the Marker Plus with eraser and a cloth folio, you’ll pay $729 (down from $779), or you can go with the leather folio option for $749 (down from ($799).

The sale also applies to refurbished models

If you’re particularly cost conscious and don’t care if you get a brand-new device, it’s worth noting that that reMArkable’s Black Friday deals also extend to its factory refurbished models. You’ll generally need to order these devices direct from the reMarkable website, but the tradeoffs are minimal—the devices look and work like new, and still come with the same satisfaction guarantee and a one-year limited warranty.

You can score the following deals right now:

reMarkable 2 refurbished bundles

reMarkable Paper Pro refurbished bundles

It’s a great time to shop other digital notebooks too

If you’re shopping around for the best digital notebook for you, there are also Black Friday deals to be had on devices from Viwoods (including the AiPaper and AiPaper Reader), the Boox Note Max, and the XP-Pen Magic Note Pad.

Does Amazon have Black Friday deals?

Yes, Amazon has Black Friday sales, but prices aren’t always what they seem. Use a price tracker to make sure you’re getting the best deal, or refer to guides like our live blog that use price trackers for you. And if you have an Amazon Prime membership, make the most of it.

What stores have the best sales on Black Friday?

Nowadays, both large retailers and small businesses compete for Black Friday shoppers, so you can expect practically every store to run sales through Monday, December 1, 2025. The “best” sales depend on your needs, but in general, the biggest discounts tend to come from larger retailers who can afford lower prices: think places like Amazon, Walmart, Target, Best Buy, and Home Depot. You can find all the best sales from major retailers on our live blog. 

Are Black Friday deals worth it?

In short, yes, Black Friday still offers discounts that can be rare throughout the rest of the year. If there’s something you want to buy, or you’re shopping for gifts, it’s a good time to look for discounts on what you need, especially tech sales, home improvement supplies, and fitness tech. Of course, if you need to save money, the best way to save is to not buy anything.
