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!

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

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

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

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. And using the google store makes the boox also more useful. Now I read comics via dc infinite and Libby, my old kind

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).

The problem is that it’s gonna be endless (report the bugs -an update that fixes the bugs comes with new and maybe more serious bugs) This isn’t the first time. The firmware 4.1 ruined my Boox Go 6 and now the Note air 5c with the firmware 4.2. I just want Onyx to make it possible to downgrade the f

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

If you want something between 6–8 inches and you’re planning to read a lot, use Libby/Hoopla, and do some audiobooks, I’d go with the BOOX Go 7. It’s the best mix of e-ink screen quality, portability, and flexibility since it runs full Android and handles the library apps well. If you ever decide yo

I got enough shit in my life I have to charge. I don't wanna charge another pen. It's not a solution for me. My kobo libra colour has a pen that I have to charge. Given I rarely use it ok. But when I do need to charge it, it's an inconvenience. I don't wanna think about that. I have the Boox Note Ai
