The [Sharp](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sharp-eposters) WG-PN1 ePaper notebook is a compact technology solution for users who are looking for a way to take notes in a more organic manner and keep essential documents securely stored.

The notebook features storage space for up to 7,000 pages of digital data and works with a [digital stylus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boox-go-7-e-ink-tablets) to let users easily jot down any kind of personal or professional information they wish. The [low-power profile](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dasung-paperlike-13k) of the notebook means it can be used for up to 10 days when accessed for about an hour each day to ensure it's always ready for use.

The Sharp WG-PN1 ePaper notebook is available now for preorder in Japan at a cost of 23,000 Yen and will officially launch on November 14.
