Boogie Board VersaBoard Review – Reusable LCD Notepad
Being able to jot down notes, ideas, and inspirations quickly and easily is a key part of staying productive. It's even better when those notes can easily be organized and saved. The Boogie Board VersaBoard seems to me, the perfect tool for just that.
Ever since I got this, I have been using the pad for creating a list of weekly tasks remaining. It's fun to strike them off one by one.
Design and size
The VersaBoard is an 8.4" x 5.44" x 0.5" LCD tablet with a sleek exterior that comes in different colors. It's recommended that you use it with the Boogie Board stylus, but you can also use a pen, pencil, or finger.
And at 0.35 pounds, this is not a weighty notepad.
If you'd rather go with a square-ish notepad, the Boogie Board VersaTiles Memo Board should be a good alternative. It's also lightweight and as easy to use as the
