Fascinating, I might have to get one. Do these smear when you close the book? Does it have a similar feel and aesthetic to paper?

Smear : you really have to put a lot of ink and immediately close the book to have some. In practice I have none.
Look and feel : The texture and feel is quite different from paper. It's basically paper laminated with some sort of plastic. It depends on the pen you're using[1]. If you're using a medium pen, it feels a lot like a whiteboard (gliding feeling) . With a fine pen, it's a little bit more scratchy.
[1] they are all using Staedtler Lumacolor correctable 305 pens. I wonder if there's an expired patent or if it's just a happy coincidence
Do you need to use special pens? Or can you just use standard dry erase markers?

Erasable pens for overhead transparencies. They're not expensive at all, and most decent stationers would have them.

While those works, they can leave some traces. The guy behind Wipebook made a video about it [1]. See also the Tips and Tricks videos from the same company [2] [3]
