What’s a tiny design flaw in an everyday object that quietly annoys you every single time you use it?

I swapped to an Onyx Boox from Kindle so i could take notes (school + work + old) and omg I audibly gasped when I saw both the power button AND charging port on the side so you could rest it upright while charging... never going back!

Feature: NeoReader ecosystem expansion: (1) companion app for Windows / web and (2) vanilla Android NeoReader app The Friction:One of the biggest limitations of the BOOX experience right now is that NeoReader is mostly locked to BOOX devices.

Not today, e-waste! Boox sent me a new USB-C charging board for $6 out of warranty, can't believe it still works

Kudos to Onyx Boox for providing good customer service. I liked it a lot.

Nxtpaper A1 Note

I was excited about the A1 Note, but after the first concrete specs and impressions dropped, I can't help but feel like it is a NXTPaper tablet shoehorned into an e-reader-shaped package with an e-ink price tag slapped on it. I can't shake the suspicion that TCL looked at the Note Air 5C or Supernot

I‘ve been thinking about getting an E-ink device for University as a student. What are your recommendations?

Boox Note Air 5C, by far. It's the most complete and versatile eInk tablet right now.

Honest opinion about Boox Air 5C

I switched to boox air5c 2 weeks ago (from 2024 scribe). For me it’s an eye opener. Notes taking is completely different. It’s like unlocking a demo version to a full fleshed version.

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).

Help please.

Tablets are best for color comics/manga because e-ink readers don’t show vivid color, and for a kid who loves manga and comics, tablets (like an iPad) definitely have more vivid colors and faster scrolling. However, E-ink readers are better for long sessions because they don't cause eye strain and c

Что думаете на счет читалок?

Лично я давно перешёл на ONYX BOOX. И очень доволен качеством... За годы сменил несколько читалок. И эти оказались самыми-самыми. Кстати, их модель в форм-факторе, близком к смартфону, тоже смотрел. Неплохо. Но обычный «планшетный» вариант более эргономичен

Hello Boox :) My feature request: Feature: Export searchable handwritten notes as PDF The Friction: When I export my handwritten notes, they lose the ability to be searched on my computer or my iPad.
