This looks like a really cool product. I want one as still do use analog alternatives sometimes. Betabook is a mini whiteboard you can take around with you to communicate ideas, do quick designs, etc.

@erictwillis Hi Eric, I just thought you and other Product Hunters might like to know Betabook has been reviewed on LifeEdited and core77 – I've added links to the articles above in the 'Related Links' section. FYI: the Kickstarter closes on Monday and we're over 400% funded. Thanks again for sharing our product here on Product Hunt!

If you're looking for a dry-erase Notebook, Wipebook3 is also on Kickstarter right now. I backed Wipebook 2 earlier this year and it really is an amazing product. The third iteration is a more professional version, and they've apparently also improved the dry-erase surface: https://www.kickstarter.com/proj...

Hi Ross, First of all, thanks for featuring us on Crowdloot! We really appreciate your support of our project. We’ve heard of Wipebook and also tested their notebook product. Betabook is a whiteboard tablet in the form of a book – not a notebook. Betabook has a matte finish which makes it easy to take great photos of its surface. You can check out our Instagram account and you’ll see lots of examples: instagram.com/betabook Betabook unfolds to reveal a seamless surface, saving space on the go due to its compact form. It’s designed to fit in a purse or bag and accompany you day to day. The Betabook’s spine is made from a rubbery material which allows you to write with a single hand without it slipping around. This is great for taking notes while on the phone. We’re confident that users of Betabook will find it a special tool to add to their visual thinking toolbox. Thanks for giving us the opportunity to address how our device is unique. – Jay

We thought people would appreciate hearing a couple updates about our near-future plans: While the Betabook won’t be ready for Christmas, you can still give it as a gift. Now that our project is more than fully funded, every pledge for a Betabook is a pre-order. Every backer from now until December 24 will receive access to download a do-it-yourself printable and foldable Betabook holiday card: https://www.kickstarter.com/proj... We've also announced a fun stretch goal for our campaign: if we reach 1000 backers we will be offering a color choice of both black and white Betabooks: https://www.kickstarter.com/proj... Greetings from Berlin, Gabriel

FYI: I've just posted two related links I thought you all would appreciate: the VizWorld review highlights the way that Betabook saves paper; the KS12 blog post (full disclosure I wrote this post) explains some of the unusual use-cases for Betabook which we like to call "reality hacking".

@gabrielshalom @jaycousins, co-founder of wipebook here, welcome to the whiteboard space my friends! feel free to ping me if you need tips or tricks. Our first kickstarter was one hell of a roller coaster ride, and although some international orders got banged up, 99% were fulfilled and were still handling resends for backers. @Rosscurrie: Thanks for the plug, were pretty pumped for our campaign.

Hello dear Product Hunters, As our Kickstarter campaign ( http://kck.st/1vaohnP ) enters its final home stretch, its become clearer to us than ever before how Betabook improves mobile productivity. We've drawn a blog post in a Betabook Pro which sums it up: http://ks12.net/2015/01/analog_d... Here's to working smarter with your smartphone in 2015! Gabriel
