9.5&8in Digital Notepad

I write a LOT of notes and lists at work, so I was going through a ridiculous number of notepads. So I thought I'd give this thing a try. Overall I'm very happy with it. It's kind of a novelty but also very useful.PROS:There is a lot of writing space. I can usually work through a whole week's worth of notes and lists before I run out of space.The stylus (or whatever you use) writes cleanly and concisely with the promised thin lines.The stylus attaches to the side via a magnet and seems to stay pretty well.You can use pretty much anything with a hard point to write, but you'll get varying degrees of line thickness.It really does resist stray marks from just touching it with your fingers. I took it home to work one day, sandwiched it between my laptop and the bag wall, and there were no extra marks on the 'screen'.It came with an extra battery.I'm definitely saving paper.It's a sturdy surface, so you don't need to put it on anything solid to write. I often take notes on it in my lap at meetings.CONS:You have to erase everything at once. So if I make a list and cross things off, I take a picture, erase, and then rewrite the things that weren't crossed off.You do need good lighting. Writing shows up great at work. At home, where the lighting is not as good, it's a bit harder to see. Keep that in mind for wherever you'll use it.

Perfect size, about the size of a waiter order notebook. Know what you're ordering! This is not a backlit tablet, you won't be able to see it in the dark! Specifically for note taking or doodling. I replaced my office sticky notes/notepads to reduce waste and it is perfect for that. Only complaint is that the magnet that holds the pen to the side is pretty weak so when its in my bag, the pen goes flying somewhere. Other than that 10/10 recommend for this price! Name brands go for double with insanely thick bezels

I bought this and the Boogie board at the same time to test it out. I liked that this allowed for locking the screen and using the entire surface for writing.The writing pad is definitely not as bright as the stock pictures would suggest. It's pretty much unreadable in a dimly light room but I can see it easily enough in a well light one. I ended up keeping this and returning the Boogie board because the Boogie board wasn't any lighter and looked more like a toy than a writing pad. This pad pretty much has no bezel either so it really does feel like writing on a pad of paper. The handwriting is very pen-like. Similar pads have wider, less crisp handwriting but with this, the writing is sharp, allowing you to write smaller and more detailed notes. The ability to lock the screen is great for when I write a reminder or a note to read later. This is a handy notebook to keep in a purse or in the car for quick notes. The screen erases quickly and completely and the pen strokes are thin, crisp, and can be seen easily in bright or natural light.

These LCD writings tablets are hard to come by. In stores, Boogieboard seems to own a monopoly on these things. They're pricey, have extremely wide bezels, and come in odd shapes (meant to appeal to kids most likely). And if you buy the knockoffs on Amazon, they often have weird, cheap screens that are quite unpleasant (almost aggravating) to write on. Imagine a soft, rippling, unsmooth, slightly gritty plastic surface that writes fuzzy.Moving on to the review. This little tablet has exceeded all expectations and surpasses the Boogieboard in so many ways. Amaretti makes the most of the screen/writing space, includes a lock feature, replaceable battery, bright neon writing, solid smooth writing surface, and the best feature has to be the pen itself. Nothing comes out fuzzy! In fact, writing comes out so sharp I can write extremely small sentences (or formulas) and read them with ease. I bought this for university and it has been excellent for quick notes I need to jot, or to drill myself on formulas. Thank you Amaretti, for making one of these LCDs that is actually worth buying. I just ordered a second one.

The screen is responsive and sharp, and makes for a fun experience drawing and writing.However, there is no integrated place to put the stylus, which I think is a strange design oversight.When the stylus is not around the tablet can still be easily used with the bare fingernails as backup.My biggest gripe is that the screen is hard to see in any light conditions less than broad daylight, which takes away from the overall usefulness - the advertised photos showing borderline glowing drawings are a bit misleading in my opinion as this is not a backlit screen.

I love this size is perfect the size of a cell phone, i use it at work, it works great.
