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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

nsights. I'm trying to decide on my first Boox device and not sure if I want the Note Air 4C or the 5. Of course I want the newest device but the 4C has everything I nee and I could save a couple dollars Is the Kaleido 3 screen on the 5c better than the one on the 4c?

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

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

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
