My prototype for a dedicated notetaking device, that folds and feels like paper

I have taken notes on paper notebooks for most of my life, but I have pretty terrible handwriting and I wanted to be more organized so I switched to digital.

What's always bugged me: I annotate dense reading as I go, but everything I've tried keeps notes separate from the source, so I lose my place switching, and i still miss that paper-like feel.

I'd try to do it on one tablet, while having my textbook or PDF on my laptop separately, or I'd try the split-view route, but it was 2 tabs that ended up super cramped.

Here are some features im including:

- AI search across all notes you've taken

- 2 10.3 inch ultrathin e-ink screens,

- 180 degree hinge, folds shut

- Ability to read and write at the same time

- Physical buttons to flip between PDFs and notes

I would love feedback from this community as to what features you'd like to see in this product as I keep building it. If you have any suggestions for what you'd want in a dedicated note-taking device, please drop a comment.

Building a foldable eink Notebook

I love to read on my Kindle, but also enjoy the form factor of reading from my foldable phone. I’ve been looking for a dual-screen e-notebook, but there wasn't a device that had the features I wanted. For the past year, I’ve spent a good deal of time and money prototyping a device that will allow me to do that and much more.

Here are some features of my newest prototype:

  • 10.3 Inch dual screen and foldable
  • Tactile buttons for page navigation
  • Internal SD card for file storage
  • 3200 mAh battery
  • 4.1mm (opened state)
  • Wacom supported pen

Would love feedback on which features the e-ink community wants to see in this product. Software is still a work in progress (I’ll have it open-sourced in the future, closer to launch). If you have any suggestions, please let me know.
