Lost my N96ml Stylus

[Goldassayer]

I lost the stylus for the N96ml. Since this is a stylus only imput reader it is useless without the stylus.
The stylus that replaces you finger on an ipad is a Capacitive type stylus. the N96ML takes the Electro-magnetic type stylus.

i found 2 electromagnetic stylus on ebay. The cheapest was the Galaxy 3 replacement for 97 cents. i can get this to work at selecting a book sometimes if i hold the stylus on the N96ML page while holding down the button on the side of the stylus. if i do not hold down the button nothing happpens.

there is a $15 stylus on Ebay that is black and looks like the original stylus but this also only works if i hold down the button on the side of the stylus while holding the stylus on the N96ML to select a book.

Neither of these styli work to do drawing in the Note app.

i bought the replacement stylus for the N96ML which is $41 from Amazon. this arrived today and works perfectly select books, highlight and to draw and erase in Note.

So if you lost your stylus and hope to buy a cheap replacement you can’t. it will cost $39 on Ebay or $41 at Amazon (fast shipping) and nothing else will work.

This thread lists several solutions. I just ordered the Ectaco Jetbook Color stylus which is supposed to work. Did a Google search for a Ectaco discount code and found one for $10 discount per item. Ordered two of the Ectaco styli for $40 + shipping. Hope that this helps.

The Ectaco Jetbook Color stylus does work with the N96ML reader. I received the two I ordered today and tried one out immediately. The stylus is much more compact than the Boox stylus, being 4" long (102mm for the rest of the world) and 0.213" or 5.4mm in diameter. Same approximate length but a bit larger diameter than the old Sony PRS-950 stylus. With the discount code I found via a Google search and shipping cost added the cost for two was about US $26 each. No battery or switch on the Jetbook stylus. I hope this info helps.
