- Replace the sticky notes with… small LCD tablets – Analogue notes are ultimately inconvenient. And sometimes the pen and paper are too big to bring around. Try to keep your records on an elegant thin tablet. There are also a lot of digital notebooks available. VersaNotes на Boogie Board are thin, flexible LCDs. They are available in a pack of three with dimensions 4 x 4 inches (ca. 10х10 cm) or 4 x 6 inches (resp. ca. 10х15 cm), coupled with a stylus VersaPen. Think of them as a sticky note for multiple uses. Unlike many other reusable gadgets on the market, also from Boogie Board itself, VersaNotes does not provide any intelligent features or fantastic audio notification. That is the reason for it to be so affordable. The starter pack will be sold for 30 US dollars when launched later this spring. Because of the simplified functionalities, these digital notebooks will not suffer from complications, typical for the more expensive tech tools for writing, like lagging display with E Ink or crashing software.
