About this deal

There is also a respectable 32Gb of storage space, which can be expanded by inserting an SD Card. This should be more than sufficient for most people’s notebooks, apps and ebook libraries. For this reason, I’ve sort of avoided buying a test unit, but this month money is a little tight and I can’t really afford one of the more expensive e-ink tablets that I wanted to review, so I bought a Meebook P78 Pro instead. The Meebook P78 Pro is an e-ink tablet that several eWritable users have asked me to review over the past six months.

Underneath the hood is a Cortex 1.8GHZ quad core processor, 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage. There is an SD card on this device, which is capable of an additional 128GB of storage. It has Bluetooth 5.1, WIFI 2.4/5G, and has a USB-C port for transferring data and charging. It is powered by a 3200 mAH battery, which should provide a few weeks of usage. Next, I started the Meebook for the first time. Staring up… Language selection Wifi configuration User interface selection Sleep settings And we’re in… Design & Build The Meebook is pretty versatile primarily because it runs an open version of Android 11 and has access to the Google Play Store.Read on to find out if the Meebook is a budget alternative to other e-ink tablets on the market or just a heap of cheap trash… Underneath the hood is a ARM Cortex A55 1.8GHZ quad core processor, 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage. There is an SD card on this device, which is capable of an additional 128GB of storage. It has Bluetooth 5.1, WIFI 2.4/5G, and has a USB-C port for transferring data and charging. There are speakers, which can be used to listen to audio content, such as audiobooks, podcasts or music. It is powered by a 3200 mAH battery, which should provide a few weeks of usage. The Meebook is running Google Android 11, which is excellent. It will support all big name apps for years to come. It also has Google Play preinstalled, so you don’t need to manually activate it like you do Onyx devices. There are dozens of different languages including English. So international users will find a ton of value. It also has the same UI and menu system as all of the other modern Boyue products, such as the P6, P78, and P10. The Meebook Pen/Stylus does not use Wacom EMR technology which has become a standard amongst its peers. Instead, it uses active capacitive technology, and, for this reason, it requires a AAAA (that’s four A’s) battery for power. The major advantage that this brings to the table is Android 11 and Google Play. It also has the power to handle all of the apps you install with the quad-core processor and 3GB of RAM. There is also plenty of storage with 32GB available and an SD card, with an additional 128GB. So on a pure hardware level, it is really solid. There is a ton of storage for your digital collection, since it has 32GB of storage, but also supports up to 128GB of extra space via the SD card. This will ensure your entire personal collection of PDF files, books, manga, audiobooks can all be there, when you need them. The file system automatically puts everything into nice little folders, so management is a breeze.

There is a front-lit display and color temperature system on the P78 PRO. There are around 24 white and amber LED lights. This system is useful for reading digital content in lowlight environments. There are two slider bars that control the luminosity from the toolbar, there is also an auto feature to control the brightness via the time of day. The Meebook also has software controls to automatically control the brightness of the screen by sliding your finger alongside the left side of the screen.My review is split into eight categories; Unboxing, Design & Build, Hardware, Note-taking, Reading, Organisation, Versatility, and Customer Service. Unboxing Although the Meebook e-reader app is okay, there are better reading apps available, and because there is access to the Google Play Store, you can install whichever e-reader you like best (kindle, Kobo etc.) Versatility As I said before if you are buying a 7.8″ tablet primarily for note-taking, there are far better alternatives on the market and I would recommend spending a bit of extra cash to get either a: The native e-reader app (creatively called MEE OS) is pretty good decent and supports all the major file formats that you would expect, including PDF, EPUB, MOBI, DJVU, CBR, CBZ, TXT, DOC, HTML, FB2, RTF and PRC.

So, before buying a Meebook, you need to be aware that customer support may not be available, and if you have an issue, unfortunately, you are on your own. The Mebook P78 Pro provides a ton of value. It doesn’t excel at any one thing, but does a bunch of things in a satisfactory way. Reading comics, books and manga is fluid and responsive. Writing on PDF files is passable, but not excellent. Drawing, taking notes or just doodling is OK, but you will get a better experience with other competing products such as the Nova Air, or Supernote A6X. Video and audio is on board and although neither of them are tremendously high quality, it can do them both adequately Although the Meebook pen boasts 4096 levels of pressure sensitivity, it is actually more like 3; a light pressure, a normal pressure and a heavy pressure. And pressure sensitivity only seems to be implemented for the fountain pen tool (it doesn’t work for the pencil tool). There is no tilt sensitivity, whatsoever. On a pure hardware level, the P78 is a deadly device. The hardware is really solid, and enough were manufactured to meet demand. On the software side of things, the menu system is bright and bubbly, with enough features to appeal towards the average user who wants to read books, but also do some light drawing, or note taking. Business users can buy it to replace paper in the office, and sign documents. Students will also see value, since the 7.8 inch screen makes it extremely portable, a Bluetooth keyboard will ensure you can manually take notes.One of the things I like about the UI/software is the new file manager. If you sideload things onto the root directly, it will break everything down. It will show you how many EPUB ebooks you have, and group them, showing a numerical value. Ditto with txt files, PDFS, Mobis, DOCX, ZIP, APKS, Pictures, and virtually every ebook format the device supports.

This means that as well as installing your favourite e-readers, you can also install a plethora of other apps.

Latency (the time between the pen touching the screen and a mark being made) is discernible – it is only a fraction of a second and it doesn’t make the experience unbearable but it is noticeable. And because I am used to writing on e-ink screens that have indiscernible latency, this was an issue for me.
