About this deal

Although the Meebook pen boasts 4096 levels of pressure sensitivity, it is actually more like 3; a light pressure, a normal pressure and a heavy pressure. And pressure sensitivity only seems to be implemented for the fountain pen tool (it doesn’t work for the pencil tool). There is no tilt sensitivity, whatsoever. For me, this makes the stylus feel quite top-heavy and unbalanced. It also means that at some point the battery is going to die and I will no longer be able to write unless I am also carrying a spare battery around with me! If I were using the Meebook as my primary note-taking device, I imagine this could be a little frustrating!

With its onboard speakers and microphone, the Meebook can also be used for things like audiobooks, text-to-speech, listening to podcasts, and recording voice notes. Latency (the time between the pen touching the screen and a mark being made) is discernible – it is only a fraction of a second and it doesn’t make the experience unbearable but it is noticeable. And because I am used to writing on e-ink screens that have indiscernible latency, this was an issue for me. The Meebook P10 Pro is a budget 7.8" Android-based E-ink tablet. It's pretty good for reading and okay for writing, but there is virtually no customer support. The Meebook Pen/Stylus does not use Wacom EMR technology which has become a standard amongst its peers. Instead, it uses active capacitive technology, and, for this reason, it requires a AAAA (that’s four A’s) battery for power. The native e-reader app (creatively called MEE OS) is pretty good decent and supports all the major file formats that you would expect, including PDF, EPUB, MOBI, DJVU, CBR, CBZ, TXT, DOC, HTML, FB2, RTF and PRC.I'll be honest, Jim, I've never actually bought any nibs. They don't need changing very often and because I buy… For this reason, I’ve sort of avoided buying a test unit, but this month money is a little tight and I can’t really afford one of the more expensive e-ink tablets that I wanted to review, so I bought a Meebook P78 Pro instead. And that’s pretty much all you can do in the Meebook notebooks. There’s no support for layers or handwriting recognition.

Notebook organisation on the Meebook uses a flat file structure – there is no option to create folders or subfolders for hierarchical organisation. However, there is an option to put notebooks into ‘groups’, which are similar to tags. There is also a search function to easily find notebooks by their filename if you have created an unwieldy number of notebooks. There’s an option to view a summary of all the highlights and handwritten notes you have made, as well as options to change the font, layout and orientation. The hardware specs of the Meebook P78 Pro include a 1.8GHz quad-core processor, with 3Gb Ram, which is pretty solid for an e-ink tablet.The case is okay – as you would expect, it does not have the premium feel of the folios of some of the more expensive e-ink tablets, but it feels good enough to do the job. The Meebook is squeezed into a flexible gel casing which holds it in place very snugly, without danger of it becoming loose and falling out. There is also a pen loop for the stylus. Hardware

It has a 3200mAh battery, which is one of the best in its class, and should give several weeks’ worth of reading time.

But if you will mainly use it for reading, with maybe the odd bit of note-taking, I feel the Meebook isn’t a bad deal at all. Cheers for commenting - a very valid point and I believe (as you say) ratta supernote are the only eink…
