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).

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

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

Kobo sage and Boox Note Air 4C here. Even switching between BW and color on the Boox is barely noticeable. The sage is slightly sharper, but the difference is nowhere near as bad as this sub would have you believe, as long as you’re not laying your face on the e-reader to compare. Normal reading dis

nsights. I'm trying to decide on my first Boox device and not sure if I want the Note Air 4C or the 5. Of course I want the newest device but the 4C has everything I nee and I could save a couple dollars Is the Kaleido 3 screen on the 5c better than the one on the 4c?

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

My Boox Note air4c will do that if it's in HD or regal refresh mode, if I'm doing a lot of scrolling I use speed mode and it is fairly smooth for an eInk display.

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

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.

(I too dark mode all the things, lol) I use several different e-reader apps on my Boox Note Air 4C and both Google Play Books and Readera both have fantastic dark modes in the e-ink screen. At night, reading in the dark, I set the brightness at near the minimum and the color temp at max. This is usi
