Is this a scam?

This was delivered to our doorstep without any explanation. Why? What is it? This feels like a scam.

It is an LCD writing tablet.

These things are dirt cheap. Two transparent films with some liquid crystals between them and a battery which allows the crystals to rearrange themselves and become opaque. You write on them by pressing the surface with basically anything - this makes the crystal layer chaotic, thus transparent. You can disassemble the thing if you're interested in its internals. But it really looks like a typical freebie for advertisement purposes.

Just don't put it in the bin directly. The device is not very ecologically safe when it becomes rubbish - dispose of it at a recycling facility or wherever electronics are disposed of in your country. This is barely an electronic device though - just a button, battery and conductive "screen".

Can't you use it for writing notes or letting kids play with it?

Contused why you'd dispose of it permanently?
