Boogie Board's Jot 4.5 eWriter Simplifies Digital Drawing and Writing

— January 26, 2016 — Life-Stages
In order to simplify the process of digital note-taking and drawing, Boogie Board introduced the Jot 4.5 eWriter. The design of the handheld unit includes a stylus that hangs from the side of the device, an easy erase button and a translucent LCD screen. Even though the screen is a digital one, using the Jot 4.5 is designed to feel like the experience of using pen on paper.

The durable device makes a handy replacement for sticky notes, ideal for use at home or at school when working on content from art, science or math classes. When not in use, the device can be suspended from a thumbtack hole on its end on a corkboard, or stacked with other units in a storage space.

This kid-friendly innovation from Boogie Board was unveiled at CES 2016.
