Haha, yeah, jesus, I'm just getting a cheap one or a Boogie Board or something.

2019-11-14 11:33:02 UTC  

I mean lets be real, when a normal ereader costs $150 for a good one, one that comes with WACOM isn't gonna be cheap lmao

2019-11-14 11:33:28 UTC  

Well, only because it's too niche I think.

2019-11-14 11:34:03 UTC  

yeah

2019-11-14 11:34:06 UTC  

its very niche

2019-11-14 11:35:41 UTC  

Theres other cheaper drawing tablet brand for computers, so that plus whatever tech it was they use in the cheap etch-a-sketch ones, I'm just surprised there hasn't been something more between the super fancy ones, and the doesnt-even-have-an-erase-lock cheapo ones.

2019-11-14 11:36:23 UTC  

But ah well. I didn't really need one, I'll just get the cheapo. Just nerding out about gadgets, lol

2019-11-14 11:36:34 UTC  

I guess in that domain its been taken over by cheap androids

2019-11-14 11:38:14 UTC
