Should I just get the Remarkable Paper Pure instead of Manta?

Hi, I have been eyeing the Manta for about a month and even though i really love what I hear, the pen and folio seem too expensive in the final bundle always, which has made me look for pen mods and diy stuff. While that is very exciting in its own way, I just saw the paper pure came out and it is like 450 USD all included. I am a first time e ink buyer. I am looking for a device to basically read and annotate alot of books/pdfs etc and have all my notes in one place. I wanted your guys' thoughts on the new device and whether you think it would be good for my usecase. I have the advantage of no brand loyalty currently and just want an experience I don't have to finick with too much. Even with the subscription, the Paper Pure comes out cheaper after several months of payments. I also am on a budget tight enough that the Supernote would have been a stretch for me always. The Paper Pure kind of is in my comfortable range with everything included and the package just feels more complete with less compromises? If I get the Manta, I would be getting the refill with a pen adapter plus a DIY folio type thing. I also have seen that the software itself is fundamentally different in how it organizes stuff and that the Remarkable is geared more towards writing than reading whereas I kind of need a balance. Anyways, thoughts?

Muji click pen + Supernote Ceramic Refill mod (no 3D printing needed)

inspired by u/accidentalcomma's great post (where he used a Standard Pen refill), I tried the same with the Supernote DYI Refill.

With some trial & error, I managed to get the Supernote Refill inside it without 3D printing parts and with the clicking function intact. Here's how I did it:

What you need:

I have realized there are multiple versions from Muji pens depending on year of production and even country, so this applies to:

  • pen: „Smooth Gel Ink Ballpoint Pen Knock Type 0.5 Black“ / Muji number 4550002794118
  • Supernote DYI ceramic refill which you can get on their website (be VERY careful to never touch the copper wire and coil on the front, as this will disable the function)
  • the Muji gel refill that comes with the pen, thoroughly cleaned with out residue inside
  • an additional empty gel ink refill, thoroughly cleaned with out residue inside (I used Pentel 0.7 gel)
  • exacto knife
  • ruler
  • some electrical tape

Disclaimer: Please do at your own risk, I only used it since yesterday - works fine so far, but no guarantee that it is a 100% solution (especially the spring part could be tricky over time).

Parts

(see drawing on Supernote Manta in pic for reference):

A (tube piece about 20 mm)

  • large enough interior diameter to let the refill move freely inside
  • small enough outer diameter so it fits inside the pen case

I cut the part from an empty Pentel gel ink refill, the part with the wider diameter (the Pentel refill has a tighter and a wider diameter within the plastic tube)

B (about 45 mm, depending on the spring)

  • large enough interior diameter to let the refill move freely inside
  • small enough interior diameter so the spring rests on top of it and does not move inside the tube

I used the Muji refill from the pen (empty it if you must, but be careful, it has a sticky gel inside and clean it thoroughly)

It does not work perfectly in my case, as you can see the spring has been squeezed into the tube a bit – but still works

Spring (between B and C)

I used the spring from an Uni Ball One F pen because it looked sturdier than the original Muji spring

so if you use the original Muji spring, maybe you need a bit longer tubes (I threw it away and cannot compare size to the Uni Ball spring unfortunatley)

C (about 6 mm, depending on the spring and part B)

needs to be so tight as to grab onto the Supernote refill rear part (best even attach it with the electrical tape). This tube part should not let the Supernote refill move inside itself, but sit tightly on the rear part of the refill, since this is the part where the push action gets transferred to the Supernote refill and pushes it down/up towards the spring.

I used an empty Pentel gel ink refill, but for this the part with the tighter diameter

also I taped it onto the Supernote refill

D (about 15 mm)

Just a spacer part, I used a cut part from the original Muji refill from the pen for this

Assembly

Put part A into the tip part of the Muji, then put carefully the Supernote refill inside. Put part B on top of Part A over the Supernote refill. Put the spring above part B.

Now put the "tighter" tube part C on top of the Supernote refill so it sits there tightly, fix with electrical tape so it won't move along the Supernote refill (where exactly you put part C will also determine the length of the spacer part D)

Put the spacer part D inside the top part of the Muji pen.

Assemble the two pen parts and make sure all parts are aligned.

Enjoy!

Which is better Nomad or Manta?

I am hesitating between purchasing Manta or Nomad, don't know which is better for my workflow, my tasks usually involve reading PDFs, taking meeting notes, and collecting knowledge mainly, and preparing for my courses, so do I need the Manta, and is it necessary for my workflow to add this extra amount, or Nomad will be good for my workflow?

SupernoteReader - a light, no frills ebook reader

Hey folks,

Got my Supernote Nomad a few days ago, and i feel i made the right choice as far as devices go.

While playing around with it, i noticed that for reading (simple, distraction-less reading), the Kindle app, seems very... well... Amazon, and wanted something clean, simple, light, similar to Apple Books from a few generations back (your book, your font, font size, theme and that's it).

So, being a developer, (yes, of course i used LLMs) i created SupernoteReader, a simple, elegant (i hope) ebook reader. Just pushed the first version up on GitHub, so it's completely open for everyone.

https://github.com/mihaiCroitoru/SupernoteReader

What's included

  • EPUB and PDF support
  • Library gallery — scans Document/Books/ automatically; shows cover art, author, and reading progress per book
  • Sort library by title, author, or recently read
  • EPUB reader with full text reflow — 5 font families (Literata, Merriweather, Lora, Source Serif 4, Atkinson Hyperlegible), adjustable size 14–28sp
  • Table of contents navigation for EPUBs — tap ☰to jump to any chapter
  • PDF full-page rendering at native resolution
  • Per-book dark mode (full colour inversion)
  • Live font/theme preview — see changes behind the settings modal before confirming
  • Physical sidebar buttons (the Nomad's ratta-slide strips) turn pages
  • Full-screen e-ink refresh every 8 page turns to clear ghosting

Comments / feedback are more than welcome on how i can improve this.

I hope this is the right community to post in.

Recent Shirt Design Done on Manta

Had this idea for a while and finally had time to finish it. Ended up making a glow-in-the-dark shirt with the design. Happy with how much I was able to do on the Manta.

Waterproofing

Dear Supernote team. Waterproof devices are unprecedented in this market and I think the Nomad is already really close! I’m no engineer, but probably just ipx rate the C slot and the power button, and add a gasket or seal around the backplate. I hope this is possible soon! This would be an amazing upgrade for outdoors: adventure seekers, military, blue collar, and more!

Date safety for professional use

Hello,

I recently got a supernote manta for personnal use. I realized I could use it in many ways at work; I'm a doctor and work in the hospital. The only concern I have is data safety, because I might write some sensitive informations about some patients.

How can I ensure that the date I write in the supernote is safe ? Or is it just not safe and I should aboid it entierly ?

Thanks !

Really long shipping times?

I ordered a Supernote Manta on April 30th, and as of today, May 20th, it has still not arrived. This is a bit surprising because I bought two other things from supernote (LAMY pen and a pen refill) at the same time, and all those arrived within 7-10 days.

Is this a common issue with Supernote? I don't even have tracking information besides a statement that the device shipped on May 6th. I live in the Western United States.

Suggestion - make a watch

Sorry, just a little 'joke' with a serious undertone. My Garmin recently died due to its battery, and only now I realize how badly I really need a running watch with a user-replaceable battery. The amount of e-waste we all create is staggering, and it is just so frustrating to see the planet go to hell while we are throwing away perfectly decent consumer electronics because the battery dies. How did we end up here?
There was one modular watch on Kickstarter, but apparently they are still having startup problems with a recall for all their watches. So if Supernote ever wanted to make a Superwatch as well, let me know, I'm in.

And of course, once Supernote users can make plugins, I'd really appreciate anyone making a plugin that connects to a heartrate strap, so I can take my Manta running.

TL/DR - thankful for the modularity of my Supernote, and wish more companies cared for our planet.

Why is so much of my Manta's memory used in just one week?

Edited to add: Thanks for the comments that it's just the operating system. I am transitioning from a Remarkable 2. Even though it had a fraction of the memory of the Manta, the os plus my notes used very little memory at all. So I was surprised when I saw how much was already used on my Manta. I'm enjoying all the features this has that my RM2 didn't, so it's worth the memory usage.

I've had my Manta a week and already one third of the memory has been used.

I have two notes that are updated daily and I set up 3 other notes that are updated occasionally.

I imported 2 epubs and 3 pdfs to see if I like reading on it and to try the digest feature. I have a single digest that I think is 3 pages long.

I read older posts about using the back button to clear memory and I did that with all my notes. I went into settings and cleared the cache. I had imported some black and white images to use as the covers of my notes and journals. I deleted those and just used plain unlined pages with text boxes for the cover pages.

All of that reduced my files by half a gb. But I still have just over 10 gb used in one week. Many of my notes are linked together. Is this the issue?

I added an sd card, but I can't create notes on it or link from files in the main memory to files on the card, so I'm not sure how useful the extra memory actually is.

How do I keep file size down if I'm adding to them every day?

What kind of adhesive do you use for rubber feet?

After my purchase of the manta half a year ago, two of them had dropped off. I don’t know if it was my backpack too tough for my manta, but anyway if you guys happen to know what would be the appropriate adhesive to glue those bad boys back, that would be really helpful.

Supernote Partner App (Mac) - All files corrupted

I cannot open any notes on the Partner App for Mac. Getting “The file is corrupted and cannot be opened!” error message for all notes. Log out/in nor uninstall/reinstall fixed the issue.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

Revived my supernote!

Found something interesting today that felt worth sharing.

I bought myself the nicer pen with the ceramic tip. It felt different at first, but I got used to it and ended up really enjoying it.

About 6 months later, I started having weird issues, the pen would draw even while hovering around 5 mm above the page. I thought it was the end, or that my Supernote had somehow gotten twisted in my bag and hadn’t aged well.

Then this morning, completely by chance, I rubbed the tip on a paper towel, and suddenly everything went back to normal.

I have no idea what happened. Maybe the tip was dirty? Maybe some static buildup?

Either way, I hope I’ve discovered the magic trick that gives it a second life.

What pen should I get

I’ve been having trouble with non contact writing with my heart of metal 2 pen they offered to give me a replacement heart of metal 2 refill module, or let me just pay the difference in price of that and get a different pen I do like the premium feeling of my heart of metal 2 pen.
But I did definitely feel the weight of it is a bit uncomfortable when writing as it back heavy
So what pen would you guys recommend I upgrade to

Keyboard Question

Hi everyone! I've found an app called ElmerPad. It creates a very simple writing deck and I loved it. However, anytime I want to use it with my Nomad, it doesn't detect my bluetooth keyboard. Solution was to add a virtual keyboard (Unexpected Keyboard). However, Supernote constantly reverts it back to original keyboard.

Do you all know how to make this change permanent?

Manta power button doesn't seem to do anything

Hey all,

Just joined the family and got my manta yesterday in the UK from the us site, I must admit that's the fastest international delivery I've ever had! 3 days, mad.

Anyway.

A lot of experimentation trying to figure it all out, one thing I've noticed, no matter how long I hold the power button for, nothing happens, it doesn't turn on, I can't put it to sleep or anything, when plug the power in it'll boot up, it's probably just me not knowing how it functions properly, does anyone have any guidance?

I'm hoping it's me being silly and not an issue with the device, because I'm already in love with it!

It stays on through the day once it's powered on so not the end of the world.

Thanks!

P.S. - if you have any other random tips for a manta newbie, I'd love to see em 😀

How do you get plugins on Nomad?

Hello, I'm trying to get the Snap Shape plugin onto my Nomad. First off, I don't know how to actually download "dist/supernote_shape_snap.snplg". Secondly, as you can see in my first picture, I don't have a 'Plugins' option under my Apps setting. My Nomad says it's up to date when I check it. What do I do? Is it user error? I admit I'm not the techiest of persons.

Thanks for any help :-)

Issues with certain part of screen?

EDIT: SOLVED! Magnet was interfering!

Hello friends!

I have had my Manta since September 2025 with mostly no issues.

I have found every so often the right upper hand corner-ish part of my screen will become non-responsive. It is inconsistent.

Prior to this video I restarted which didn't help and then recalibrated which DID but I swear it just moved the spot upwards.

Is this an issue with the device itself? I have had the half folio on it since I got it and it stays in a padded sleeve.
