[Video] The Wipebook Could Be The Last Notebook You Ever Buy
The Wipebook could be the last notebook you ever buy, literally. Most of us have used a notebook at least once in our lifetimes, whether for work, school, or personal use in our daily lives. Well, the Wipebook combines the portability of a notebook with the ease of writing and erasing of a whiteboard. There's no more wasting paper with the Wipebook because whatever you've written on a page can simply be erased. The smooth surface helps you write easily and smoothly without getting that ghost effect you usually get with standard whiteboards. Also, it is easy to erase your notes and sketches without having to worry about it smudging when you close it. The Wipebook sounds like an interesting alternative to the standard notebooks that we have become accustomed to over the years. Being that it's reusable, it could very well be the last notebook you ever buy, so head on over to their Kickstarter for more information about the Wipebook.
