I looked at the wipe book page and it's kinda weird, like someone wanted to steal the rocketbook idea (if wipe book was first I'd never heard of them, had rocket books for years) but avoid parents so it's kind of just a crappy version. It looks like they found a vendor to make similar ink pens, but the paper is more plastic/glossy so the ink doesn't set in as well, making it easier to erase than rocketbook but harder than normal dry erase. I guess if you want that, something more like a dry erase, that's good.
And yes in both cases the "smart" is an app that scans the pages in. It's not just taking a picture, the apps use dots on the pages to figure out what orientation the page really is and warp correct the image you took so the images of your writing are correctly proportioned the way it looks in real life. I've only used rocketbook's, but this tech is convenient. Sometimes it takes more than one picture to get a very crisp image if there's very small text. Probably depends on the quality of your phone camera, mine is not terrible but not the best.
Speaking of small text though - this is what completely sold me on rocketbook, I wanted something like a boogie board but that actually had the resolution of writing with a real pen and could save your writing internally. Well, rocketbook still requires you to take pictures to save them, but the true equivalent of writing on a notepad is 99% there (the pens take a bit to dry, which is like writing but using gel pens). My ideal is still for it to have some sort of basic electronic page like a Kindle white with that detailed pen level resolution and automatic digital saving. But that's way harder to achieve.

For people who haven't tried them before, the frixion pens work great on Rocketbooks and they write smoothly. It's easy to erase using the eraser on the cap or, if you want to clear a whole page at once, using a damp cloth and a couple swipes.

For me, novelty of battery powered electronic devices has worn off.
If you like what you like, more power to you. I always seem to spill water or coffee lately personally, so something like this appeals a bit more to me... Since pages can't get ruined as easily with this type of thing
