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).

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.

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 absolutely cannot decide on a model and it's driving me mad

In your case, top priority would be to identify exactly what you want to use the device for. Some uses simply can not be combined in one device; "large for reading/annotating pdf's and small to carry it around easily ", "very sharp contrast and also colour+front light". That is why choices have to b

Help choosing between the Go Color 7 and the Air 4C for my first e-reader!

Hi there, I also have both. Go Color 7 is great cause is light and portable, but screen size makes it hard to enjoy other than epubs, news and note taking (occasionally). Air 4C is great, but heavier compared to the boox 10.3” go (same size). For Manga I will suggest the Air 4C if weight is not an i

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

Is note air 4C good for reading research paper? Would you recommend other devices?

Former Geology PhD student... Long reading is great on the Air 4C. I have one. If you are reading laying down it does get heavy quickly. Get a loop thing that goes around your finger so you don't drop it on your face. I ended up getting the Go Color that I can dedicate to reading. Very little to no

Best eink tablet for to do lists, planners, etc.

best handwriting recognition on these devices so far is from Boox. I would say a Go 10.3 is perfect for this if you don't need color. if you do, a Note Air 4C is also a very good choice. if you're in a well lit place you frequently won't even need the frontlight, but if you do it is not typically th
