[April 2026 Megathread] UX Feedback & Feature Improvements

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. That makes it harder to build a seamless reading and anno

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

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

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

Електронні книги в Україні

У мене Kindle Paperwhite вже років 5 - чудова читалка, доволі швидка, ніяких проблем немає. Але якщо буду обирати наступну, то скоріше за все візьму Kobo, бо цікаво порівняти з Кіндлом. Але важливо розуміти, де ви плануєте брати електронні книжки українською. Не всі видавництва пропонують електронні

BOOX Firmware V4.2 is here! Community-driven updates and a new thread for feedback.

We'd like to be able to disable pinch to zoom in the Boox Notes app. Otherwise it starts zooming randomly while we write notes. You removed the button that disables pinch to zoom. Why? Please bring the button back. I returned my Boox Note Max because of that. I do like the fast mode in v. 4.1 and af

Go 10.3 Lumi vs Note Air 5C

I had the Boox Go 10.3 for more than a year. I liked it a lot, but the lack of a front light was a dealbreaker for me. I then got the Note Air 5C, and a couple of days later the Go 10.3 Lumi was released. So I ordered the Lumi as well, to compare them and decide which one to keep. The Lumi has an in

Palma Pro 2 Screen Is Too Dim (Should I Buy ViWoods Instead?)

I went through this myself. I ponied up for a boox note air 5c (my first color eink tablet since a kindle 10 years ago). My use case was to use it as a portable screen for my keyboard. I have an iPad Pro so the comparisons were inevitable—and the boox screen was dim, grainy and slow. At the end of t
