Paper Pure Is A Focused E Ink Notebook

- Sarah Lane describes using Remarkable devices as therapeutic and useful even for people who are mostly online.
- She contrasts her own low-paper habits with finding e-ink sketching and journaling calming and productive.
Simplicity Can Still Drive Big Tech Attention
