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

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

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

Depends on a lot of stuff. I have books and PDFs that always look weird on my Note Air 4C, no matter which settings in eink center I choose. And there are other books and PDFs that look quite okay, even with similar colors (especially light skin color). On my iPad all look similar. I guess, Boox doe

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

I've been trying to make boox note air4c work, but I always go back to ipad pro with pencil. Reading, notes, marking up pdfs, etc. Zotero, obsidian all just work.

The Tab X C is terrible for writing. Air4C writes better than the X C, but worse than the 10.3 or the Max. And they are both color screens, which is just plain downgrade for reading, even in full sunlight. The Note Max has terrible ghosting. And a lot of this If you want the best reader and writer (

I used to own a rMPP for a few months, and had a love-hate relationship with the writing feel. Sometimes I would really enjoy taking notes on it, other times hate it due to the slippery texture I experienced when writing fast; to each their own. As for the weight, because it's distributed evenly acr

I second this recommendation. I absolutely adore my Kobo Libra H20. I also have a Boox Note Air 4C, but I always go back to the Kobo to read long form articles and books. Basically a perfect device.
