If you loved using Etch A Sketch as a kid, a Boston startup company called Rocketbook makes a line of digital notebooks that’s right up your alley.

A number of different companies offer digital notebooks that let you save your sketches, drawings and written words in a digital format.

What sets Rocketbook apart is it offers two kinds of digital notebooks that you can wipe clean after you’ve drawn your doodles and uploaded the work into a “cloud” service, such as Google Drive, Dropbox or Evernote, by snapping photos of the notebook’s pages with Rocketbook’s smartphone app.

The Rocketbook Wave, the company’s first offering in 2015 bankrolled with a $1.3 million Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign, uses a special pen with special ink that disappears after the $27 notebook is gently cooked for a while in a microwave oven.
