While most people nowadays use their smartphones to take notes or create a “to-do list”,  a small niche of users like business professionals still exist who need to write down even the smallest of details, who cannot rely on smartphones. In order to cater to this group of customers, Sharp has announced an electronic notebook with an e-ink display. Dubbed the Sharp WG-PN1, it will be available for purchase starting next month in its country of origin, Japan.

The Sharp WG-PN1 measures 157 x 114 x 10.4 mm and it tips the scale at 210 g. The electronic notebook features a 6-inch e-ink display that has a resolution of 800 x 600 pixels. Its body is made out of grey coloured plastic which falls in line with other business oriented electronics like Lenovo’s Thinkpad laptops.

Sharp ships the device with a notebook style cover which will protect its display while travelling. The cover also has a loop which is used to hold the touch stylus when it is not in use. The device is powered by a lithium-ion battery which can be replenished via the bottom mounted USB C port. The in-built battery is claimed to provide a battery backup of upto 10 days which will naturally vary depending upon usage.
