About this deal

The Meebook P78 Pro has a basic note taking experience, which is not as advanced as the Onyx Boox, Supernote, Fujitsu Quaderno, Sony DPT or Remarkable. This makes the Meebook very flexible in what you can use it for – it doesn’t have to be just a reading and note-taking device. The power button is located on the top right edge, and there is a single touch-sensitive ‘back’ button in the centre of the bottom bezel, which is used to navigate back to the previous screen.

Finally, the frontlight layer creates a tiny gap between the point that the nib makes contact and the point where the mark is made. And because I am used to writing on e-ink screens that have indiscernible latency, this was an issue for me. Lite apps traditionally eliminate animated page turns and only provide core functionality, so their performance on the Meebook is really solid. Almost all of these issues can be traced back to the fact that the Meebook uses the older Active Capacitive technology, as opposed to the far better Wacom EMR technology.The hardness of the nib tap-tap-tapping on the hard screen also detracts from the overall writing experience. If you have a PDF with light text and the images don’t look that great, you can make everything a bit darker, until you find the sweet spot. On the top left, there is the home screen button, back button, refresh and front-lit display option to control the luminosity. Although it might seem that I have been bashing the Meebook in this review, I must say that I have been pleasantly surprised with what it can do. Boyue has done a great job at revising everything to suit a smaller screen, and should be commended.

There is an option on the top menu bar to switch to A2 refresh mode, which improves the performance slightly, but it’s still not something you would choose to use an e-ink screen for. It also has the same UI and menu system as all of the other modern Boyue products, such as the P6, P78, and P10.You will only see the colors if you export the notes in PNG or PDF and view it on a computer or mobile device. Haoqing (the manufacturer of the Meebook) provide very little support for their devices, and even if you do manage to make contact with someone, there is a massive language barrier (unless you can speak Mandarin). The first thing that I want to address with regard to note-taking on the Meebook is the tactile writing feel – it is rather poor when compared to other e-ink tablets. There are two slider bars that control the luminosity from the toolbar, there is also an auto feature to control the brightness via the time of day. In addition, there is very little friction between the smooth screen and the hard plastic nib, which means that the writing experience feels quite ‘slippy’.
