WARNING: Do NOT Buy Onyx BOOX. $500 Note Air5 C turned into a DEAD BRICK in less than a month, and support has completely GHOSTED me.

Over the years, I have owned and used: Note 5 Note Air 3C Tab X Go 10.3 Note Max Note Air 5C Go 7 Palma Pro 2 Go 10.3 II Lumi All worked flawlessly with zero issues. That being said, I buy them on Amazon, not from Boox directly, so I can easily return them if I need to.

Considering a Note Air 5C after a disappointing reMarkable experience – how reliable is it long-term?

I've had my Air 3C for 3 years now, and I believe from the specs they use the same display type and are almost exactly the same size. Yes, the display is darker, the display is more grey than white, but I rarely have to use the built-in light. I almost exclusively use OneNote for notes (despite its

Apua e-kirjojen hankintaan ja lukemiseen?

4,3 tuuman näyttö on hyvin pieni, todella paljon normaalia nykykännykkää pienempi. Oletko varma, että haluat minikokoisen laitteen? 7 tuumaa eli pinta-alaltaan noin 3 kertaa isompi näyttö on tyypillinen e-book lukulaitteen koko. Käytännössä jos haluaa laitteen joka toimii kaikilla e-kirjoilla kannat

Mini ereader

I truly don’t understand some of this sub’s relentless attacks on XTEINK. I bought an X4 and it totally reinvigorated my love for reading. I’ve since purchased an X3 as well - I love the portability. I have not had any quality control issues, and if you buy from Amazon or directly from XTEINK on the

I can never go back to LED

For context, I'm a tech freak an compulsive buyer, so I'm not a good exemple. For 10.3-ish I bought : Viwoods Aipaper (for note taking and productivity) BOOX Note Air 5C(for overall media consumption without too much distractions). I bought the Boox first, but I prefer the Viwoods. More focused, bes

Onyx is in my heart… but I’m torn with a Samsung tablet. Talk me out of switching?

If your use case is handwritten notes in color, the Booxs Note Air 5c will work really well. E-ink color will never compete with an iPad or Samsung tablet for viewing (browsing, video, games etc) because those tablets have more vivid color displays. But those very qualities work against them for rea

When I'm at home I read physical books. When I travel I read e-books especially on planes, trains, hotel rooms and islands. My Boox Note air 5c is lightweight and can store hundreds of books. I switch back and forth between physical books and e-books and I enjoy it so much.

Always liked having both the physical and digital versions so i can have a book at home and when I’m at a coffeehouse or sitting somewhere i can pull out my xteink or Inkpalm, when I’m at the office the Boox Go and then back home to grab the book. Good fortune having digital options too. Note Air is

E reader tavsiye ihtiyacı

Eğer PDF, manga veya manhwa okuyacaksan, ekran boyutundan dolayı kesinlikle 8 inç üzeri bir Onyx Boox bakmalısın. Üstelik bu cihazlarda Google Play Store desteği de var, bu da büyük bir avantaj sağlar

.pdf vs .epub. What is your favorite file type for reading ebooks and why?

PDF for anything that isn't just plain text, or where layout is important. I also like that PDF looks good on my computer as well (for a lot of documents I'm switching between my reader and my PC), and that I can print copies of the PDF and have them look good. ... .epub looks hideous and destroys f
