TECH – Most language-learning apps live on your phone, competing with every other notification or social feed vying for attention. But the E-ink Vocabulary Card E2 from DPP carves out a different path. Rather than pulling you into a pit of endless screen scrolling, this gum-pack–sized device lets you focus purely on words, turning scattered spare moments into laser-sharp revision. Yanko Design reports that it connects via Bluetooth to your phone, importing materials and memory-mode exercises from a dedicated app, while displaying everything on a crisp 2.7-inch e-ink touchscreen.
Weighing in at just 30 grams, the E2 features softly rounded corners and comes in warm pastel tones like orange, pink, green, or gray, making it tactile and friendly to hold. Its main button is tilted slightly—about five degrees—for easy reach by your thumb when holding it one-handed. The e-ink screen is kind to your eyes: fewer blue-light emissions, minimal radiation, and a contrast level that mimics the feel of reading real paper.

Because of e-ink’s ultra-low power draw, the device can last up to 150 days on standby. You don’t need to bring out your phone to quiz yourself — word lists, practice sessions, and memory drills all happen on the card itself, thanks to the app connection. The built-in support spans nine languages, and you can import custom word lists or select different study algorithms depending on how you learn best.
Designed for real-world durability, the card has an IP68 rating, making it dust-tight and waterproof — suitable for tossing in your pocket, taking to the gym, or even slipping into a bag on a train. A matching wrist strap provides extra portability and a bit of personal flair.
Visually, the E2 leans into soft, inviting aesthetics. Its interface features big, rounded icons that feel playful rather than stressful — like a friend nudging you to learn rather than a test looming over your shoulder. In this way, the E-ink Vocabulary Card E2 transforms tiny gaps in your day — waiting in line, commuting, or between classes — into meaningful practice, giving you a dedicated, distraction-free device for building your vocabulary.
