LCD Writing Tablet for Adults, Amoretti Sonnet 14.3 inch Foldable Electronic Writing Pad - Ultra-Slim Reusable Digital Notepad with Fine Lines, Bezel-Free Doodle Board for Office Home School

I purchased the 14.3 inch foldable board. I have to admit that I really like the device. I was concerned about some of the other reviews on here. I know they are for different devices but let me address some of the concerns that others have brought up. 1) Visibility of the Lines - Some users say that the lines are too light. I tried this tablet in a room with limited natural light and none of the lights turned on - I could see the lines just fine. I noticed that the lines on this writing tablet are a bit thinner than the Boogie Board that I have on my fridge and the visibility between the two is noticeably different. But after using this writing tablet for a bit, I think I prefer the slightly thinner lines because it allows me to be more detailed in what I write and draw as well as capture more information on the same amount of space. The Boogie Board is for capturing quick notes so the lines can be thicker, but the thinner lines are actually better for planning and note taking. YMMV. 2) Stylus Holder retainability - the stylus holder on the side fits the stylus well. The stylus won't just accidentally slide off easily. In fact, the grip is very good. I accidentally launched a stylus across the room trying to get it off. It's a good thing my dogs weren't around or I'd have to fight them for it. However, the stylus removal and replacement isn't too hard or too easy - it's just right. It's a nice feature. 3) Erasure Function - I initially wanted a button for the erase function, but I've discovered that touching the back of the pen to the erase area works just fine. In fact, I think I prefer how the device does it instead of a button. Moving parts fail so this eliminates a potential failure point from the devices. It erases clean every time. 4) Size - I'm glad I got the 14.3" foldable. There's a large writing area when it's unfolded. However, it's not much bigger than a large Moleskine notebook when it's folded, making this easily portable. I got this to be a portable tablet to capture thoughts on the go so the folded size is important to me. So far, I really like this device. I've already put it to good use taking notes. I take this with me when I'm out and about, and I take pictures of my board if I run out of space and need to erase the board. If I lose or break this then it won't hurt quite as bad as if I had damaged or lost a more expensive computing device (laptop or tablet). I'll provide updates to this review over time to give my impression of the durability of the device. So far, it's a great little device at an extremely reasonable price. I'm happy with this purchase.

This is my favorite brand of LCD tablets—the stylus have a finer point and weight than most others and the screen lays down a clear, sharp line. Having two of these good stylus is a solid bonus and that they securely hook into the top of the tablet is well thought out. I currently use it for task tracking, alternating from one side to the other when I have crossed off enough tasks that I want to start with a fresh list on the second side with the remaining original tasks. I like the portable size and, folded, I use it as a writing surface on my lap. Being able to fold the tablet assures me that my work won’t be messed up as I toss it around my desk and in my bags. I haven’t even mentioned the unique and efficient erasing mechanism. I feel like this company listened to every issue I have with all other LCD tablets and made this one just for me.

When I first got this, I hated it. Although it was handy and easy to use, I found the screen very hard to read (and certainly not as bright as the pictures show). Others have commented on this as well. However, I discovered that it really is handy in the right circumstances. Now I keep this beside me on the side table in my living room and use it to jot down thoughts, suggestions, things I'm supposed to remember for later, etc. My side table has a bright lamp that easily illuminate what I write down. If I happen to want to preserve what I wrote, I just take a photo with my cell phone. This system works well for me.

𝗦𝗨𝗠𝗠𝗔𝗥𝗬 A simple LCD tablet is made better by a small form-factor and bezel-less design. 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗧𝗘𝗖𝗛𝗡𝗢𝗟𝗢𝗚𝗬 This device uses a simple passive LCD tablet technology that is found in products like the Boogie Board and those countless drawing tablets for kids. Unlike the multi-color of those kiddie tablets, this screen has a single green color. 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗦𝗖𝗥𝗘𝗘𝗡 I was initially skeptical in ordering this because of the negative reviews regarding their difficulty in reading the screen. But I bought one anyway and I'm glad that I did. This isn't a backlit active LCD. It needs a good ambient light to read what is on the screen. It is no worse than those other tablets. The "resolution" (if that's an applicable term here) of the screen seems to be higher than the kiddie tablet I bought off Wish or the "professional" full size version (with folio case) I bought on Temu. I am able to draw finer lines on this than those others. Even when swapping the styli around, this allows for finer details. (see attached photo) 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗦𝗧𝗬𝗟𝗨𝗦 The stylus is a decent size and weight that is well matched to the tablet. It is slightly thicker than the tablet itself, and the magnet is strong enough to keep it attached to the tablet when in a shirt pocket. I would definitely like the magnet to be stronger, but it serves the purpose. 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗘𝗥𝗔𝗦𝗘 𝗕𝗨𝗧𝗧𝗢𝗡 The erase button is on the back of the tablet. At first this seemed to be a bit odd, but after using the tablet for a while I appreciated the design decision. By having the button on the back, it allows the tablet to be bezel-less, and makes it less likely to accidentally press the erase button. 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗙𝗢𝗥𝗠-𝗙𝗔𝗖𝗧𝗢𝗥 This is one of the few tablets that comes in a size this small. Not having a bezel means that there is a surprising amount of space to write and draw. It is nearly identical in size to a smart phone and it fits comfortably in a shirt pocket. Super handy to take out and about. 𝗨𝗦𝗘𝗦 I keep this on my desk with me and jot down numbers or other info for immediate and temporary reference (dimensions when designing graphics, contact email, etc.) When I go out, I tuck it in my shirt pocket for taking quick notes. I sometimes use the free eWriter Jot app to take a screenshot (it produces a negative of the image) for those things that I want to save.

The form factor of the pad and stylus work well. The writing experience is smooth. I appreciate the magnetic coupling of the stylus to the pad. That being said, there a two function that I am not impressed by. 1) The text clearing/erasing button being on the back of the device can is annoying. 2) The display brightness and contrast is not representative of the item presentation in the listing images. The only way I can achieve the same level of text presentation is when I held a led flashlight in one hand and wrote with the stylus in the other. When writing with the pad directly under a lamp, the display is still faded as compared to the listing photos. It isn’t terrible, but it is misleading to present otherwise in the listing.

*** UPDATE *** I purchased a new CR2016 cell and the problem remains. The tablet has ceased to erase writing (Yes, I checked to be certain the "do not erase" switch is set to allow erasing) Changing previous 3-star rating to 1 star because it died without any sort of over- or mis-use. Gone too soon.... **** The tablet works for quickly jotting down things. I have it on the side of my fridge (built-in magnets work great for me if I hang it upside down! Orientation makes no difference in taking notes. Stylus' magnet works to keep IT stuck to the fridge, too.). Mostly it gets shopping list stuff, then cleared after I've copied to my phone. Useful for quick recipe notes, and for leaving funny messages for the family to find. Had it about 10 months, probably used it four times a month on average. The CLEAR button only dims the writing now, not clears completely. Swapped in the handy-dandy replacement battery that came with the tablet - no change in behavior. Either the spare died on the shelf while waiting to be called upon, or the tablet has gone bad. I'll invest in a new CR2016 to isolate the trouble. Hoping it is simply inferior original batteries. You (meaning I) need fairly bright ambient light to be able to see the writing. Not an issue in my kitchen during daytime, but have to crank up the lumens a bit after sunset. I think it is a fair value, but still feel unloving toward the likely cheap-o batteries they supplied.

I've accumulated a number of different LCD tablets over the years and I have to admit it's the best one so far. The main advantage of this one is the line width when you write -- it is thin enough to write in small font, comparable to boogie board, but unlike boogie board the surface doesn't bend under the pen. This tablet is quite hefty, in fact, heavier than it could have been, but I like it this way. It has two pens for some reason... The outside is some kind of soft touch surface, feels nice, but it will probably show signs of usage soon.

The principal idea is great, and was looking forward to this thing. But on arrival, I was unable erase anything. The 'delete' button on the back did nothing no matter how much it was pressed. I assumed it was dead battery per the instructions, so pulled out the one that was installed, and inserted the spare that it shipped with., Same result. Simply doesnt erase. The writing also was pretty faint - nothing like what I see on the photos. Perhaps because I got the single sided version, maybe the other model has different contrast. In any event, disappointing but as the saying goes: You get what you pay for!
