Viwoods AiPaper Mini: A Compact 8.2″ E Ink eNote with Android 13 and Frontlight

Viwoods recently expanded its lineup of Android-powered eNotes with the release of the AiPaper Mini, featuring an 8.2″ E Ink Carta screen, alongside its larger sibling, the 10.65″ AiPaper with a Mobius screen. The AiPaper Mini is now available on Amazon with a $50 discount coupon, like its larger counterpart.


Key Features of the AiPaper Mini:

• Screen: Unique 8.2″ E Ink Carta 1000 screen, offering a resolution of 1920 x 1440 (292.68 ppi, though Viwoods claims 297 ppi). It uses older Carta technology compared to the Carta 1300 standard.

• Frontlight: Unlike the larger model, the Mini includes a frontlight, although it lacks temperature control.
• Specs:
• Internal Storage: 128GB
• RAM: 4GB
• Processor: 2.0GHz octa-core CPU
• Battery: 2450 mAh
• Weight: 230 grams
• Software: Runs on Android 13 with app installation capabilities. While Google Play isn’t officially supported, users have reported workarounds to enable it.

The Mini’s entry further underscores the growing eNote market, contrasting sharply with the stagnant eReader space, where innovation has slowed outside established players. Could this signify that notetaking has surpassed reading in popularity for new device users?
