**Much more than an e-reader — an excellent E-Ink Android platform**

I have been using the VIWOODS AiPaper Reader for some time now, and my experience with both the device and the company has been extremely positive.

I originally bought it primarily as an E-Ink reader, but I soon discovered that its open Android environment makes it capable of much more. As someone who enjoys developing software, I started creating my own Android applications specifically designed and optimized for its E-Ink display.

So far I have developed and tested several applications directly on the AiPaper Reader, including an ADS-B aircraft radar and METAR viewer, a world clock, a weather application, a daily astronomical almanac and a space information center. I have included some screenshots with this review because I think they demonstrate better than words how versatile this device can be.

The E-Ink screen is particularly enjoyable for applications where information needs to remain visible for long periods. A clean black-and-white interface looks remarkably natural on this display, almost like a printed technical instrument rather than a conventional tablet.

I also appreciate having Android underneath. Being able to install applications and use development tools transforms the AiPaper from a simple reading device into a genuinely interesting platform for experimentation and custom software.

During my first weeks with the device I encountered a few issues, particularly involving Google Services, ADB access and installing/logging into applications such as Telegram and X. This is also where my experience with VIWOODS really impressed me.

Their customer support was excellent.

Claire and the VIWOODS support team responded personally and in detail, explained the Google Play certification situation clearly, provided the necessary tools and instructions to enable ADB development access, and involved their technical and firmware teams when necessary.

ADB now works perfectly with Android Studio, Google Play Store works correctly, and I have successfully installed and used both Telegram and X.

What I particularly appreciated was that the support never felt like a collection of generic automated answers. They listened to the technical details I provided and genuinely tried to understand what I was doing with the device.

For someone interested only in reading books, the AiPaper Reader is already a very pleasant E-Ink device. But for technically curious users and developers, I think there is another side to this product that deserves more attention: it can become a surprisingly capable E-Ink Android platform.

After developing and running my own applications on it, I probably use it in ways I had never imagined when I bought it — and that is perhaps the best compliment I can give a piece of technology.

Excellent device, excellent technical support, and a company that appears genuinely interested in listening to its users.

Very happy with my AiPaper Reader.

Warning: "Free Returns" is a trap. Avoid this company.

I bought a device from Viwoods EU because they explicitly advertised free returns. After trying it out, I decided to send it back. However, they deducted €15 from my refund for shipping, claiming that my order was placed during a "promotional period."

This is deceptive advertising. Save yourself the headache and avoid companies like this.

Despite the frustration and the enormous waste of time caused by using the AiPaper Mini, it is perhaps a great relief to finally leave a terrible review for a product whose software is nothing short of disgraceful. It is packed with bugs that persist release after release without being fixed. The whole experience is clunky, overly complicated, and unnecessarily frustrating.

I’d rather have fewer features that actually work than a long list of broken ones. Never again. I wouldn’t use it even if it were given to me for free.

The device was fine until it stopped working after a few months of use. Customer service has been unresponsive. I'm left with a very expensive paperweight. Please do your research on this company before purchasing any products from them.

The product is kinda ok. Used Remarkable before and that was plain old tech. Viwoods AI Mini is faster and has way more functionality.

But, when my styles broke I send them a request askimg if they could help. I got a honest reply stating the styles is defected. Only having it for less than one year, they stated that I was in luck, I could get 50% off the retail price for a replacement. What? In EU we got atleast 24 months of warranty.

“We are sorry to hear about the issues you've been experiencing with your stylus. Based on your description, it appears the issue is specific to the stylus itself.

As your order has exceeded the 100-day free trial period, it is no longer eligible for a complimentary replacement. Additionally, please note that the stylus is classified as a consumable item, which is generally not covered under our standard warranty.

However, we want to help you get back to using your device. As a gesture of goodwill, we are pleased to offer you a 50% discount on the W2 stylus or a 40% discount on our ceramic stylus.

Please let us know which option you prefer, and we will provide the discount code for your purchase. Thank you for your understanding.”

Replied and stated your mistaking and point out the EU law. After wich they send it to me only by paying 15 euro for sending and handling costs. Are you mental? This results in never ever buying a product of Viwoods ever again. What are you thinking. Viwoods scams the customer in my opinion.

From the beginning i found this tablet not user friendly, and when I contacted them they told me that it is new tech and there would be frequent software updates over time, and that should make the operation of it easier.
Now comes the serious matter, when I was informed of a new update, an then I tried to switch on the ai paper, nothing happened the tablet was fully charged. I contacted customer service and they gave me steps to reflashing, but I could not achieve this as the tablet would not switch off and switch on, so it could not be recognised by my pc. I have not been helped by customer service, excuses like it Chinese new year etc. I have now a very expensive tablet that does not work and is frozen in like a stby condition. I now regret putting my trust in this company

Terrible after sales experience. I returned a stylus and it's been a month since I'm waiting for a refund... "We will get back to you.." every message. Really disappointing.

Das Gerät sieht toll aus und scheint auch anständig gearbeitet zu sein. Aber…
Intuitiv geht anders. z.B:
- Etwas aus einem herunterladen, geht zwar nur, wo ist der Download hingekommen?
- etwas vom PC auf das Tablet laden oder umgekehrt funktioniert bei mir nur via ViTransfer also via Server in den USA! Goots no?

I like your name. It seems i am using a wood to read.

Great customer service. AI paper writing experience is better than remarkable paper pro. Hardware is good though software can be better compared to Supernote manta. Return process was very smooth.

I love my viwoods mini.
It's perfect for reading and note taking. It has some flaws but the overall experience is great.

Very simple and reliable device. Perfect for taking notes, reading books and other things. What I like the most, is that the developers constantly working on improving it, issuing updates almost every month instead of developing new devices and forcing you to buy them.

The e ink reader is great and I have both sizes. Main benefits are:

* Being able to take notes on either device and upload to the cloud service of your choice and then see the notes on the other device.
* Full Google store access, I really love using my newspaper app on here.
* Viwoods constantly making updates to improve the user experience.
* Taking notes and linking these to the calendar to make looking back by time really easy.

I have both models and love them. I spent a lot of time learning about the alternatives before landing on Viwoods. The software and hardware do not disappoint. The devices have allowed me to make substantial improvements in how I work.

Viwoods creates a great e-ink device.

The AiPaper is well made both on hardware and software side.
It runs on a custom version of Android then it is easy to find and install applications of daily usage.
In addition, the Viwoods team releases software updates frequently to add new features.

It is equipped with, probably, the best screen on the market for resolution and contrast.
I like this product a lot!

My expectations have been completely fulfilled.
The writing experience is almost better than on certain types of paper: the ability to quickly jot down notes and reorganize them later is what I needed to be more effective and productive.
The new voice recognition and automatic transcription features are what I was waiting for to have a complete work tool that suits all my needs. Congratulations to the development team—the ability to use Android apps is the definitive distinguishing factor.
Well done guys!

I love my Viwoods AiPaper. I bought one of the first released in the US last October. I bought it to help me with taking notes for classes. I investigated a number of the other e-ink devices and when it came right down to it the AiPaper was the number one choice.
I love that it does so much more than just take notes. I use it for meetings; for reading and annotating pdfs; and keeping my daily schedule. It is also great that I can utilize my Google apps.
On top of all the features, the response of the development team to provide continuous updates to improve the user experience it another reason for review rating. All I can say is keep up the good work.

I’ve really enjoyed my Viwoods and have both their large and mini device. The company itself is very trustworthy and responds well to customer feedback, and helps quickly if you have any issues. I would recommend them as a reputable company and would recommend the device as well, as it is being continuously improved with iterative updates.

Viwoods has done a great job of providing a solid e-ink tablet experience. The screen is one of the best I've seen, and having access to Google Play really helps increase my productivity with the device. I appreciate how responsive the team is to user feedback and community suggestions, and the continuous updates are great.

I love my Viwoods! I used to have Remarkable and switched to Viwoods. The writing is great, and I also use it to read books and other articles. I do not use it much for emails, but I have configured it on my Viwoods and it works perfectly. The file transfer is very easy and intuitive. The handwriting recognition is almost perfect considering my handwriting! The only issue I have is that somehow it does not connect to my phone's Wi-Fi, but I can easily connect with other networks! I am also impressed with the frequency of the updates and new features—the pace is amazing!
