e-reader for university library books?

You could look into the Boox Air 4C and 5C. Make sure to look up reviews because Boox devices can have quirks and you cannot expect updates. In general I would recommend going with a 10 inch screen or larger for those types of books.

Im genuinely upset.

Iİ own an onyx boox note air4c. I carry it with a cover put in a protective zipped case. Double protection. Seems bulky but the best way to save them. These are expensive and fragile devices.

Kindle Scribe - Colorsoft Edition

More info direct from Amazon: https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/devices/new-amazon-kindle-scribe-color Nearly $100 more expensive than the Boox Note Air 4C, which is arguably more capable. I don’t understand their pricing strategy. I suppose it’s for people deep in the Amazon ecosystem.

Something going on at Boox?

This is something they do, and it's pretty annoying, but they do make good equipment... They basically make enough for complete run of a version of a product and sell it out completely before they move to the next version of the product. I got my boox note air 4C, because I was trying to buy a note

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

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

some notes on last night's release event (with bonus clowning)

Boox Hulk™. OMG, that cracked me up. I was thinking the same thing. All dude does is work out and make Boox videos from time to time. I want that job. Great insights. I'm trying to decide on my first Boox device and not sure if I want the Note Air 4C or the 5C. Of course I want the newest device but

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

Is the Remarkable Paper Pro worth it?

I mean it's definitely not the best value for your money. typically I recommend a Boox Go 10.3, Note Air 4C or Note Max for students. Supernote if you're really into note organization (especially if you're an Obsidian fan) or Viwoods if you want a really high contrast screen and want a combination o

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.
