After using the Viwoods AiPaper for a few weeks, I’ve discovered a number of impressive features that make this device truly stand out. Here’s a summary of what I appreciate most:
1. Sophisticated Design
The device features a sleek and modern design. The main body uses a Mobius E Ink panel protected by a brushed aluminum frame, which not only enhances durability but also provides a pleasant tactile feel.
2. Innovative Cover Design
The protective cover is thoughtfully designed. A hidden compartment on the left side securely stores the EMR pen nib, and the pen holder is placed on the right, ensuring the pen is held firmly while still protecting the device.
3. High-Quality EMR Pen
The proprietary Viwoods EMR pen offers excellent pressure sensitivity, especially when used at an angle—perfect for calligraphy-like strokes. The eraser function on the back of the pen also works flawlessly.
4. Capacitive Touch Buttons
The three buttons on the lower bezel of the device are capacitive soft-touch types. They provide a responsive and satisfying interaction without any protrusion.
5. Compact Size Despite Large Screen
Although it has a 10.65-inch display (one of the largest in the 10-inch category), the device doesn’t feel bulky at all—even with the protective cover on. It looks neat and slim, making me double-check the screen size because it feels smaller than it is—in a good way.
6. Built-In Email Functionality
AiPaper allows email reading, composing, and replying without the need to install the Gmail app or any other third-party service. The built-in email client is simple and efficient.
7. Flexible File Sharing Options
Files can be shared in multiple ways: via the same Wi-Fi network by simply sharing a link, through the Viwoods website by uploading and downloading from your account, or using their dedicated transfer tool (ViTransfer). All options are user-friendly and reliable.
8. Secure Personal Notes and Handwriting
Even when the device is connected to a computer via USB, your handwritten notes and memos remain inaccessible. These personal files can only be transferred through Wi-Fi, the Viwoods website, or ViTransfer, which enhances privacy and data protection.
9. Long Battery Life
The battery life is more than sufficient for regular usage, making it reliable for extended reading and writing sessions.
10. Generous Storage
With 128GB of storage, there's ample room for a wide variety of documents and media. While not as large as a computer's storage, it's more than enough for an e-reader and note-taking device.
Although it’s been less than a month since I purchased the AiPaper, I’ve only had positive experiences so far. Initially, I was hesitant about trying a relatively unknown brand like Viwoods, but the product has exceeded my expectations. I’m now seriously considering getting the 8.2-inch mini version as well.
