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

Let's Talk About "EinkWise" – We Need Your Feedback!

I own the Go 10.3 Boox Note air 4c and the Go 7 Gen 2 B&W and the Go 7 Gen 1. One bit off feedback is change the defualt background color setting for all Google apps to 0. The default is set to 1 and this results in buttons throughout the app to be blacked out. It took me a year to realise how to fi

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

My palma pro is so cute 🩷

With b/w eink you usually can use the frontlight in a way that it just looks like brighter paper. With color eink you usually have to set it to a level that you actually see the light. Some people just don't like that. Boox devices also have the problem that they don't adept the frontlight in a good

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

Whoops

You are not alone! On day 3 owning new Air 4C I put the reader into bag, hang the bag on the chair not realizing the bag strap is longer than the chair. So bag ends up hanging but also partially on the floor. I move the chair so one of the legs goes over the bag. Not noticing that I sit on the chair

Help me validate my decision: Boox Note Air 4c

Do you need color and a frontlight? If not, I would steer away from the note air 4c. I own one but I have found the color and bsr make me want to use it like a bad iPad... I use a supernote as my daily driver for note taking and like it way more. Also my first e ink tablet was a boox go 10.3 which I

Ebralnik

Jaz imam ze nekaj casa Boox Note Air4C in ja je ok. Ampak vecina je precej razocarana ko vidi njegove barve. Danes smo navajeni na telefone in monitorje in dobesedno neomejeno barvno tabele, e-paper vseeno ni na nivoju le teh (par 1000 barv v primerji s par miljoni na modernih telefonih in monitorji

Has anyone used the XpPen Magic Note pad? What is it like in comparison to e-ink devices like the Tab X C or NA5C?

I don't have the XP Pen, but I have the Ugee Trio Pad (it's a rebranded TCL NxtPaper 14). It uses the NxtPaper screen tech which is a matte screen coating partnered with some different screen modes--one that reduces color saturation ala color e-ink and another that mimics black and white e-ink. IMO

Help me pick the right one

I had the Boox Note Air 4C in colour, but switched to Viwoods, and the colour hasn't faded yet. Colour displays like Kaledo 3 simply have disadvantages, such as the grey display, which is depressing in the long run. The Viwoods is amzing light and beautifully.
