Review: "My grandchildren and I loved writing on the Boogie Board. It doesn't erase until you push the erase button. They had lots of fun with it but I decided this is something my hubby can use at work. I called and described it to him and he asked me to send it to him ASAP. He goes through several mini-notebooks a week, writing down his notes and then transfers them daily onto his Log Report. He loves the idea of just jotting stuff down on the Boogie Board and not having to carry around all those notebooks. So, there goes the fun for the grandkids and myself! lol"

"We have had so much fun playing with the Boogie Board! The kids like using it in the car, it’s great for car games. I’ve used it to leave notes for the kids and it is great for writing down things from phone messages. It is so nice not having to waste paper! I highly recommend the Boogie Board, it would make a great gift!"

Make a Choice: The Boogie Board™ tablet is an ultra 1/8-inch thin, paperless, wireless LCD writing tablet for the home, office, school, and athletic field. It fits in a purse, scheduler, briefcase or backpack. Measuring 8.8 x 5.6 inches (223.52 x 142.24 mm), it includes as much writing space as a half sheet of letter-size paper. The Boogie Board tablet weighs only 4.2 ounces. Erase your image with the touch of a button – and a friendly flash from the liquid crystal display. The Boogie Board tablet's pressure-sensitive LCD writing surface creates lines of different thickness based on how hard you push – just like paper and pen. Write or draw with the included stainless steel, telescoping stylus or any other suitable instrument – even your finger. You’ll never need to search for a pen or pencil again. Writing tools that will mark or scratch the LCD, such as pens or pencils, are not recommended. The Reflex LCD technology utilized by the Boogie Board tablet is reflective. Display contrast is proportional to ambient light, so bright light offers the optimal contrast. Adults will use the Boogie Board as a phone memo pad, refrigerator notes, family game score pad, sketches, notes, diagramming sports plays, quick sports stats, memo pad, and a to do list. Kids will use the Boogie Board to practice handwriting, write spelling words, and solve math problems.

Not a Sacrifice: “The average American uses approximately one 100-foot-tall Douglas fir tree in paper and wood products per year.” See http://www.epa.gov/epawaste/conserve/materials/paper/faqs.htm. Globally the deforestation challenges on Earth are many, controversial, and range from the alarming to the catastrophic. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deforestation. According to The Forest Stewardship Council, “[i]n many forests around the world, logging still contributes to habitat destruction, water pollution, displacement of indigenous peoples, and violence against people who work in the forest and the wildlife that dwells there. . . . The U.S. is the largest market for paper products in the world, producing 90 million tons of paper annually and, in-turn, consuming about 100 million tons. Despite improved technologies for refining post consumer pulp, virgin fiber is still a significant requirement, as only 35% of current consumption is met by using recycled fiber; in addition, approximately 25% of recovered fiber is exported out of US markets. Roughly 25% by volume of timber cut annually in the US is used for paper production.” See http://www.fscus.org/.
