Highly Anticipated Boogie Board eWriter that Saves Available for Preorder

Improv Electronics announced that the Boogie Board Rip LCD Writing Tablet, the newest model to join the company’s growing family of paperless Boogie Board eWriters, is now available for preorder for customers in the U.S. and Canada through improvelectronics.com. Customers in Europe can preorder in the coming week. All preorders within the continental U.S. and Europe include free ground shipping.

The Boogie Board Rip tablet combines the exceptional, paper-like writing experience of all Boogie Board eWriters with the highly-anticipated ability to record written notes/images and save them as .pdf files. Saved files can then be uploaded to a computer for editing, organizing, archiving and/or sharing. Like all Boogie Board eWriters, the Boogie Board Rip tablet requires no power to generate or retain an image. Only a small amount of power is required to erase, save or upload stored files to a computer.

“Consumers around the world will quickly fall in love with the Boogie Board Rip tablet. It is the ultimate writing and drawing medium for students, business professionals, artists, designers, environmental advocates and others looking to lift the burden of desks cluttered with paper, drawers full of used paper notebooks, and time wasted searching through page after page of paper notes,” said Kent Displays/Improv Electronics CEO Dr. Albert Green. “It is the most significant advancement in writing since…paper itself. Demand will be high, and we strongly encourage those wishing to give it as a holiday gift to preorder to ensure product availability.”

On Sept. 1, 2011, Improv Electronics unveiled the Boogie Board Rip tablet at the IFA Show in Berlin and received an overwhelming response from media, distributors and consumers. Engadget, Popular Science and other major media outlets praised the tablet’s simplicity and diverse functionality. In the weeks following IFA, the Boogie Board Rip tablet has generated the highest volume of visits to the Improv Electronics Web site since the original Boogie Board tablet was introduced in 2010. It also created global buzz across a wide variety of traditional and social media outlets.

MSRP for the Boogie Board Rip tablet is $129.99 USD (114.99 Euros and 99.99 British pounds). Preorders for the Boogie Board Rip tablet will begin shipping on November 1, 2011. The Boogie Board Rip tablet will also be available for purchase from select global retailers on the same date and shortly after.
