I just installed the latest beta version (3.28.0.162) on my reMarkable Paper Pro Move. I wanted to test it out specifically to see what improvements they’ve made to the EPUB reading experience, as mentioned in the recent updates. Here are my thoughts so far after spending some time with it.

🟢 What’s Improved

• The new margin layout is a massive upgrade. All three margin options finally work beautifully on the Move's screen. Previously, the "narrow" option was the only one that felt usable.
• They have significantly reduced the bottom margin. In previous versions, it wasted far too much screen real estate, leaving a massive blank gap at the bottom.
• The new dialog window for adjusting fonts and margins is much better placed. The interface feels clean, intuitive, and polished. I hope the drop down for font choice hints to custom fonts.

🔴 What Changed (But Still Needs Work)

• The beta introduces proprietary reMarkable Sans and reMarkable Serif fonts, replacing Noto Sans and Noto Serif. Personally, I find them to be a step backward for reading books. They don't come close to Amazon’s Bookerly (the gold standard for E-ink) or even Merriweather.
  • While reMarkable Sans renders well enough, serif fonts are generally much easier on the eyes for long reading sessions.
  • The poor rendering contrast makes smaller text hard to read. Turning on the “Increase Contrast” setting helps, but it makes the fonts look pixelated.
• The font size increments are frustratingly restrictive. The text jumps from being too small to too large with nothing in between—reminiscent of the abrupt thickness steps on the fineliner tool.
• There is currently no vertical spacing between paragraphs. The only distinction is the first-line indentation, which makes blocks of text feel cramped and hurts readability.

EDIT:

• I noticed they removed the ability to add margin notes with two finger swipe --- this was the best feature. I hope they bring it back in some form.

⚡ Performance Note

I didn’t notice any significant performance lag or speed penalties when changing fonts.

Overall I’m generally pleased at these changes. I wish they could have an option to add your own font. Curious to hear if anyone else has received this push yet and what your thoughts are on the new formatting logic!
