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

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).

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

Best e-ink device for school?
Supernote Manta or Boox Note Air 4C are your top options for this list. Boox is getting better at organization but Supernote is still king. Boox is going to be the more flexible device though. I would not worry about "distractions," most things that qualify are simply bad experiences on e-ink.

Boox protection overkill?
Lack of "otterbox like" cases for these e ink devices is a real limiting factor. Im still searching for something to "armor up" either my boox air 4c or my already damaged rmpp ( nic in screen from something, very small)

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.
