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

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.

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.

Relentless regret
Eink is always slower in terms of refresh rates, but the Go 7 doesn't have the Boox proprietary BSR optimisation which improves things considerably on devices like the Note Air 4C, Note Max etc- there you can scroll with pretty minimal lag. This, combined with the Go 7 being a very small device (eve

The best - note taker
Before I had a fuckton of notebooks, sticky notes, and books laying around. Now it's all been replaced by my Boox note air 4c. I have a seperate notebook per task, all my annotations are synced in drive and I can access research paper annotations through zotero.
