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!

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

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).

Dear Onyx, I’m a user, NOT your software tester! – DO NOT update to the 4.2 firmware.

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

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

New eReader. Between the Boox go 7, Bigme B7 and Kobo Libra Color

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

Boox team listen up - here's why USI 2.0 is dreadful

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
