Boogie Board - Jot 4.5 eWriter - Blue

Call, me old fashioned, but what is the benefit of this over paper?

I love this Boogie Board and all of the Boogie Boards. I bought several sizes and I use one upstairs, one downstairs and the small one (Jot 4.5 LCD ewriter) for a small grocery list. I hardly ever use sticky notes now that I have Boogie boards. I also bought these for Christmas gifts.

I ordered two boogie boards. One is still working, but the other one stopped after a few days. I had to reorder another one, and I have to take the broken one to a local store--inconvenient, so I won't be shopping at BB anymore. On a side-note: the customer service rep I called was amazing.

I am a Best Buy Store Employee, and since I work in the back room most of my job involves having to keep track of SKU numbers, model numbers, counts, prices, etc. Before getting this I would have to write down the numbers I need on a piece of scrap paper or a post it, anything I could find, only to throw it away 10 minutes later when I was finished with it. When I first saw this item come into our store I knew right away it would be something that I would find very useful, and it has been very useful since then. I literally use this constantly over the course of my shift, and even at home. I can write down what I need to remember, and it will save for as long as I need it. When I am done, one press of the button erases my note for me to write something again. Not only is this a lot more convenient than writing things on scrap paper, but it is also a lot more environmentally friendly. Instead of me writing things down on paper all day and constantly throwing paper away, I jot my note one this, and I don't use or throw away any paper at all. I would definitely recommend this to anyone. It is perfect for short notes or lists. It does not require any power to write a note or to save a note, the only power used is when the button is pressed to erase the note. The unit has an internal battery that does not need recharging, and the battery will last for at least 50,000 refreshes before it goes bad. You can also use the sylus as a kickstand by putting it through the hole on the side.
