Biggest frustration with 4.1

Boox hardware is being seriously let down by the software. I have 3 premium Boox devices and can no longer give them the benefit of the doubt anymore (Tab X, Note Max, Air 4C). My Note Max felt abadoned within 4 months of release. Software is also non-inutitive and really not enjoyable to use.

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).

Is there any e-reader I can read web articles with?

Look for Boox products, it's android on It. You can instal e-ink Bro to have a browser mad for e-ink. I have an air 4C and it is fine for online article reading

Bigme 10.3 B1051C-PRO. On paper, seems like a dream. Can't find a review.

Bigme devices have got quite a bit better in recent years but there's still software issues and they've got a slightly shady reputation as a company. One of the reasons you won't find many reviews is that they've asked for zero-criticism reviews in exchange for payment or free devices (at least acco

What device do you use to read PDF books?

I quite literally purchased a Boox note air 4C for the sole purpose of reading RPG modules and being able to write on the PDF while playing. The Neoreader (PDF) Is great and able to do that, you can do spreads in landscape mode and single in portrait. Or you can split screen and have another notes s

Boox go colour gen II for university?

I recommend the Note Air 4C for your use case because I’m using it in combination with my iPad. I have found I’m using the Note 4C more and more each day. I can get my textbooks on Kindle app and the VitalSource app just fine. I take lecture notes that sync to my other Boox device. It’s small enough

HELP ME CHOOSE!

100% kobo. Its cheaper than the boox and in all honesty I think a better quality product. I had a boox note air 4c and it stopped charging (not a good look for all other product lines.) Kobo is repairable, boox is not. To get a black and white device that costs more than a color device is honestly s

I’m Reluctant to Say this but…

I’ll chime in on this. The Kindle is great for reading but the processor on the Note Air 4C makes the experience better for large PDFs. Boox has a dedicated specialized PDF reader which works great and allows annotations. With Boox you can install any of the e-reading apps you want so it’s overall a

Best based what I own

Mine is a Kindle basic which does not support note taking. I would suggest check the Kindle Scribe, but the Boox Note Air 4C (just released 5C) offers more flexibility as it is an Android device.
