EeWrite E-Pad E-Ink tablet Kickstarter now live and already well past its goal
The project made $10000 USD in 10 minutes. The manufacturer is promising an E-Ink Android tablet that can do it all including note-taking, web browsing, e-reading, and more for a price of $400.
EeWrite launched its Kickstarter for the ambitious E-Pad Android tablet last night and it took just minutes for the crowdfund to reach its goal. According to the Chinese manufacturer, the project reached $10000 in just under 10 minutes to guarantee all early backers a unit later in the year.
The project is currently sitting at over 250 backers with over $100000 in pledges at the time of writing.
The E-Pad is notable for being a high-end Android tablet with an E-Ink touchscreen. While there have been E-Ink Android tablets in the past, the E-Pad will be the first to support 4G LTE, expandable storage, and WACOM stylus inputs all in one package. EeWrite wants to launch its tablet for $400 to $500 USD by this August.

After graduating with a B.S. in environmental hydrodynamics from the University of California, I studied reactor physics to become licensed by the U.S. NRC to operate nuclear reactors. There's a striking level of appreciation you gain for everyday consumer electronics after working with modern nuclear reactivity systems astonishingly powered by computers from the 80s. When I'm not managing day-to-day activities and US review articles on Notebookcheck, you can catch me following the eSports scene and the latest gaming news.
