Description
eNote is the combination of an e-reader and some functions for working (checklist, creating tasks, or to-dos). The concept focuses on how a device can be the most comfortable to handle with just one hand, it can fit any bag and pocket. Moreover, with Wifi built-in, all tasks from the Email, Task, and Note apps will be synced. The eNote was designed based on the symmetrical design language and button-less user experience (using a light sensor instead of a home button).

My Inspiration
“I love the e-reader, I usually spend my free time on books and ebooks. I think the e-ink technology is awesome but there are few smart things, and devices in the market used and developed based on e-ink.
After some research, I realized that many people love e-ink but they don’t need a device that only has a reading ebook function, they need something helpful for their life, and work. That’s my inspiration to start this design.”

The Challenge
eNote is a pocket device that has a small screen with functions for creating/checking tasks and reading ebooks; so the hardest part of this project is to rethink and design the UI/UX – touch keyboard, notification panel, folder view, task view etc.

Highlight
eNote uses e-ink, which is more energy-saving than LCD, LED, and IPS screens, keeping your focus on working without caring about the battery.
eNote uses a light sensor instead of a home button, just fast double taps for on/off – this is the main function of a home button, and fast pentuple taps for reboot – less or more than 5 taps will have no effect.
eNote has a thin silicone line on the back, which is anti-slip when put on a flat surface and easy to hold in hand.
For less distraction, eNote’s UI/UX was designed with minimalist icons, texts, and without images.
