E-Ink Tablet with Pen?

Kusuri · 11-08-2022, 08:32 PM

Hey,
i know that there possibly is no such device but.. i currently search for a E-Ink Tablet with the following things:

- Ability to Read Epubs / Mobi
- Ability to Draw something (Black & White or Color doesn't matters)
- Ability to send Pictures i sketch to a Smartphone or Computer
- Max 150€

i don't really need a fancy one, just one to read and paint a few drawings on it. it would be enough if i could do basic sketches.. so i don't need any fancy image editing app or anything on it.

i don't have much money, and all tablets or ebook readers i found online are around 400€.. which is really a lot for me. and in my opinion, it's too much for just being able to draw with a simple pen. you can get this days android tablets with a stylus for way less.. so paying 400-900€ or even more is too much for me. i post this thread in the hope that someone maybe knows a device that fits this requierements.

p.s: there are also "lcd drawing tablets" you can buy for like 20-50€. some of them have the ability to save and export the images. such a basic way of drawing would be enough for me. so nothing fancy.

greetings!

Zum doppelten Preis gibt es das.

Der P78 Pro ist zwar billiger - es wird aber kein Stift dazu geliefert.
Vielleicht gibt es aber das gewünschte Gerät im Gebraucht-Geräte-Markt.

There is no e-ink readers with pen in your price range unless you'll consider a used device. Cheapest new readers are Boox Nova Air 7.8", Meebook P78 7.8" (add pen) and Meebook P10 10"

yupp, guess i can't change that. i now researched yesterday a bit and decided to maybe get myself a Boox Nova Air 7.8". i couldn't find a lot community activity online in terms of that device (not even 5 review videos on youtube as an example).. but i think i will take that jump into the unknown and will see if it will be good enough for what i want to do with it.

...and exactly right now that i want to order it from their webshop, its sold out

so i won't get that free goodies they always sent if you order on their shop..

guess i have to order from amazon then.. :/

You don't need 5, I bet this should be enough: https://www.youtube.com/c/MyDeepGuide/videos

Does the meebook P78 really have a digitiser?

Yes - the P10 stylus and a new (P78 Pro) work

Ah, "P78 Pro" isn't the same as the "P78", which is very like the Boyue Mars?

Similar issue with Samsung and Lenovo tablets S/H. You need the exact model number to look up and see if a digitiser is included.

Oh no. They have very similar case, but:
Android 8,1 have Likebook P78 (blue) and Ares (Wacom, brown); the Meebook P78 Pro is grey and has a writing foil attached and Android 11.
And Likebook has another shutdown screen than Meebook
