e-reader for university library books?
You could look into the Boox Air 4C and 5C. Make sure to look up reviews because Boox devices can have quirks and you cannot expect updates. In general I would recommend going with a 10 inch screen or larger for those types of books.

In case you're looking for a manga reader...
Nope. I don't think any of the newer large BW boox e-readers have a front light. I decided I would just give in and get a color ereader (note air 4c) but it's just not as good for manga and I returned it. I was pretty happy with the software though, and I would happily get something like the one OP

Switching from reMarkable → BOOX Note Air5 C — looking for tips & advice
I have a Note Air 4c. I work in a tech retail store and we have the Remarkables on display - having tested both I can't say I felt that the texture of the screen on the Remarkable was any better than on the Boox which has a pre-applied matte screen layer (which I believe is true for the 5c as well).

Does anyone read books in Logos on iPad or mobile phone?
I use the mobile app to read, but I own a Boox Note Air 4c, which is an Android tablet that has a color epaper screen. I very much recommend it! The Note Air 4c is quite big, which means you can have two columns besides each other just like on the iPad. There are smaller Boox tablets, which are comp

E-Ink Device - Suggestions
IMHO, all Kaleido 3 color displays are flawed - dark and unusable without front light, muted colors, long pen tip to ink distance - compared to Gallery 3. I’ve tried the Boox Note Air 4C and was disappointed that I had to keep the front light on at all times, and the writing feel was not much better

I absolutely cannot decide on a model and it's driving me mad
I've owned and do currently own several Boox devices. To me you first need to determine if color is important to you. If not my recommendation would be the Go 10.3 or Note Max, since you do a lot of PDFs. However, if not having a frontlight is a deal breaker I would say go for the Note Air 4C or the

Is this how the Kobo Libra Color is supposed to look…? It’s difficult to even read these covers, and the last page has odd shadows. (New to ereaders)
Great question! Black and white e-ink is pretty high resolution at 300 ppi. However, a Kaleido 3 colour e-ink screen (the most popular and common type of colour e-ink, and the one in the Kobo Libra Colour) is basically a normal 300ppi black and white e-ink screen with a 150ppi colour filter layer on

Kobo, Boox, Kindle, aaaa help me choose
Choosing between Kindle, Kobo and Boox. You have a lot of books in the Kindle ecosystem already. Kobo readers can't read Kindle books. So let's set aside Kobo for now. Your requirements aren't difficult to meet: reading, note-taking, larger than 7", 10.3" maximum, colour would be nice, cheaper than

Best E-reader for academic articles?
I just got into grad school and after lots of research decided to go with the Boox note air 4C. The EMR pen for annotating is really nice, the size of screen supports split screen so I can make a separate note document while reading a PDF, and since I have smaller Boox e readers the syncing is reall

Boox Air 4C or Tab Ultra C Pro?
Note Air 4C for sure! Improved Kaleido 3 screen, more current Android version, better writing experience. Durability has never been an issue for me and I have multiple Boox devices.
