Decided to try the item, and was linked to this page on Amazon by the company/product homepage. Apparently it won’t ship to anywhere in the USA. Why advertise on the Boogie Board Website “Buy Now from Amazon”, if we can’t buy it.

compared to the completely battery free Magic Slates (Pack of 72) or the Dinosaur Magic Slate or the 12 Mini Magic Slates or even the Doodle Pro Classic. However, it appears to be a larger form factor. The magic slates also feature variable line width, and a quick erase (by lifting the plastic from the wax pad) – and come in bright colors and/or pictures of dinosaurs. Others have suggested that later versions would have the ability to read or save the drawings doodled onto the surface – I think that’s unlikely based on the hints of how it works (no power used to write on the display) – it’s more probable that a later version might come in bright colors or have dinosaur pictures. This product comes from a company in Ohio, which brings to mind the famous Ohio Art Classic Etch A Sketch. There’s no hint of backlighting, which makes LCD displays much more effective – if you prefer a backlighted display, I could suggest something like the Lite Brite. If you want to write more than one page, or you want to save the things you write for later use you could alternatively use a product like the Ampad 43032 Gold Fibre Executive Journal, Hardbound, 28-lb/196 shts, 10×7-1/4″, Black Cover – which features multiple pages, but requires the use of a stylus such as the Retractable Ballpoint Pen/Pencil, Medium Point, Black/Red Ink.

Good reviews elsewhere and there is a very nice buy now button on their website.
As at time of writing, not available on amazon.
If it was available i would have bought it.
Then I actually read what it does.
Some say that the sealed battery is a minus – but it will probably last longer than the product – 50000/20/365 = 6.8 years.
The downside is…
What you write cannot be exported.
This makes it no more useful than paper and pencil, and given the fact there is no colour or erase, and once you refresh what you wrote is gone, less useful.
If you want to write on a screen, touchscreen mobile phones allow this.
I look forward to V2 that is letter size with a save option.

I was able to test this product at the Ingenuity Fest in Cleveland this past summer. The board is cool to an extent, like if you want the product simply to replace a dry erase board or replace a tablet where you always throw away the notes. It could even be used as a clean alternative for kids to draw with if they wanted. I think this product would have a lot more potential if they eventually alter it to save your notes like on a jump drive or something. For me, I can’t see paying almost $30 for a cool looking dry erase board. If the price went down, maybe but at least for me I can’t see paying more than $10/15 for it, even if it is fun to use, but I’m assuming since it’s electronic it couldn’t be made cheap enough. I also don’t think it would work well for taking notes for a student, again, you can’t save anything. I guess it depends on the use, but at least for now, for me, I’ll pass.
