Should I buy a black-and-white or color e-ink tablet?

Black-and-white panels are sharper, faster, and cheaper, which is why distraction-free writing tablets still favor them. Color e-ink (used in the reMarkable Paper Pro, Paper Pro Move, and BOOX color models) is useful for highlighting, diagrams, and PDFs, but color panels typically look more muted and can refresh more slowly. Verified-purchase ratings in our pool were generally a bit lower on the color models than on the flagship black-and-white reMarkable 2.
