Can you write on this with a pen or pencil?

Yes, but some 'gel' type pens seem to take a bit longer to dry than when used on regular paper. No problem with felt tip or ballpoint ink pens.

Pens work great, especially ones called B2P (bottle to pen) these are made from recycled plastic bottles, they write on just about everything, even wet surfaces. Pencils don't work so good on this paper. I would highly recommend this rite in rain paper for anything you may need to use paper for in a damp or went environment. I wrote on the paper with 6 totally different types of pens and they all work great. You do want to write on single sheets though because you will make dents in the paper below if there is more than one sheet. I works perfectly for geocaching log sheets in container that may get wet inside, the log stays dry. I hope this has helped you decide.

Yes, you can even use a standard ball point pen. However, the sharper the point or the harder you press, a deeper impression is left. So, if you don't press too hard with the pencil, you can even erase your errors without leaving an impression. A ball point pen can make very deep impression and "stretch" the material, unless you press lightly and use something hard to press on.

Yes, definitely! I just wouldn't write on a piece of paper directly on it, because your words would come out bumpy. Writing or doing puzzles in books would work fine.

Yes, it is not ideal for writing on. Plastic, it's one solid piece, real flat. Just the top is rubbery. I hope that helps. We love ours, it's perfect for my son.

Yes, you can. There is a toggle button to turn the touch on or off while you use the pen

You can write with it -- yes. It will take a little getting used to and I would not expect to use it as a replacement for pen and paper. But it works well enough for me.

You can use either a printer or a FELT tip pen. Do not use a writing instrument that is sharp. Something like a Sharpie works well as it is a felt tip writing utensil.

You can use a pen or stylus with it but it does not have sensitivity settings like a pad would. If your looking to be able to get different brush strokes with pressure input this will not do that.

You can write just like you use to. It will not recognize your hand, its impossible to do so.its easy and 99% accurate for handwriting. If you want to draw, its not as accurate as handwriting.

Can you write directly on the wood surface without the need for a pad of paper to create a smooth writing surface?

This model doesn't have a digitizer screen. So any pen won't work. You need to buy the model with digitizer support which is probably few hundred dollars extra

I typically use pencil when I write in these books, it works the best. I find most ball point pens with thicker ink (most cheap ball points) work well too. Thinner watery ink will bead up and not write.

No you can't. This product is almost useless. Do not use your money to purchase this. It's a write and erase.

you can if you buy the easel for it as it just comes just the board with a tray for the pens and eraser to set on.

you can, it will not be as precise as the pen though, ALSO NOTE: you can go into the settings and change how you want the screen to respond, to touch only, touch & pen, or pen only. I always sent mine to PEN ONLY so that I can rest my hand on the screen as I write and not have the objects jump all over the place.

I have never tried a pencil. Regular pens will work as long as the paper doesn't get wet. If that happens, the ink will run, and count may be messed up. What I have found works best is Check Writing Ink Pens. They work really well, and you can get 8 or 9 for what you would pay for one waterproof pen. Also if the pen is dropped into the water, if doesn't hurt as badly as dropping the more expensive waterproof pen in (the voice of experience!)

NO! DO NOT USE A REAL WRITING PEN WITH THIS BOOK! It is meant to be used with the Tag reader pen so that they can redo EVERY lesson over and over again so they learn it better.
