Pros

  • They had a mobiscribe wave on clearance for $89. It was a 7.8 inch android 12, waterproof, with wacom note taking. ... for $89 they were a steal
  • MobiScribe Wave is 7.8" and it's about as cheap as you are going to find for a device that size at ~$90.
  • Parent context: Mobiscribe wave. $89 with a stylus. Reply: Yea once you get through the trouble of setting it up it's an amazing product for that price. It also has loads of space compared to many other ereaders which I loved for all of...
  • Parent context: Mobiscribe wave. $89 with a stylus. Reply: Only available in the US. Waterproof (only waterproof android ereader I could find) 7.8 inch wacom pen, best $89 I've ever spent on a ereader.
  • Mobiscribe wave. $89 with a stylus. Has kindle and libby so you can sync with any phone etc with kindle or libby installed. Crisp responsive display, and you can adjust the lighting. It had a little clunkiness getting it set up but has o...

Cons

  • Parent context: I’m not in the US so I’ve not really looked at it a lot but I gather there’s something called a Mobiscribe Wave available super cheap ($89) - a 7.8’’ waterproof Android reader from a company that’s either already gone und...
  • Company is dead so expect some of the email features not to work, coming from a wave color owner. Usability doesn't match specs. But definitely can side load and I'm finally hitting a groove with its note taking. Used to be able to email...
  • Unfortunately, it looks like the Wave *doesn't* have the uSD card slot.

Parent context: I’m not in the US so I’ve not really looked at it a lot but I gather there’s something called a Mobiscribe Wave available super cheap ($89) - a 7.8’’ waterproof Android reader from a company that’s either already gone under or is going to, so not a lot of support and probably not the highest-specced device out there but might be worth a look. Reply: The only one that there is is the mobiescribe wave which is older and available only in the US for $89

Parent context: Mobiscribe wave. $89 with a stylus. Reply: Yea once you get through the trouble of setting it up it's an amazing product for that price. It also has loads of space compared to many other ereaders which I loved for all of the books I wanted to sideload. It runs android too, so i just downloaded another epub reader I was more familiar with compared to the one it comes with. So versatile for under $100.

Mobiscribe wave. $89 with a stylus. Has kindle and libby so you can sync with any phone etc with kindle or libby installed. Crisp responsive display, and you can adjust the lighting. It had a little clunkiness getting it set up but has otherwise been a pleasure.

Company is dead so expect some of the email features not to work, coming from a wave color owner. Usability doesn't match specs. But definitely can side load and I'm finally hitting a groove with its note taking. Used to be able to email notes to myself not no more.

Yes I only have odd devices - the above Mobiscribe Wave (which I like very much)

The other I've found is the mobiscribe wave. It's $89 on mobiscribe.com ... has a button to turn on backlight its the only reader I've seen with this feature. I love it ... It has an excellent note taking app, one of the best there is on a small ereader.

At first I was skeptical about color but it’s actually not bad at all. I have Mobiscribe wave with Kaleido plus. It’s not even the newest version but I enjoy reading comics etc. it’s definitely doesn’t look like an iPad but it reminds me of a newspaper which I actually enjoy the look of.
