Any tips for Textbooks and Scientific Papers?
Honestly, this is probably not the device for image-heavy PDF files, in my opinion. You may be better served with a larger e-ink device. I have used some of the larger color e-ink devices from Onyx Boox for this purpose. They are not cheap, but provide a much nicer experience.

Physicist choosing a BOOX device for daily research workflow (Obsidian + Zotero) — which model actually holds up?
The Go 10.3 is probably your best bet. The Note Air 5C is a little faster and more powerful, but it is color and the battery life is poor. You do not need a larger device for your kind of work, and the larger devices are less portable (although they are faster). The writing latency on all Boox (and

nettbrett eller penn og papir?
E-ink er utrolig plagsomt å bruke om man skal se på noe i ettertid, responstiden til skjermen, ghosting, osv. er fortsatt veldig dårlig i forhold til hva man får men en lcd eller oled tablet. Som skriveflate er det bra, og man merker jo nesten ikke noen forskjell om man bare skriver som på papir. Me

Getting a work profile to be work with Intune Company Portal
For clarity, as I am an Intune admin trying to get this to work, some organizations allow for their users to use non-managed versions of apps along with App Protection policies to be able to allow their users access to the various office apps without corporate management of the device.

PDF annotation query
Owner for about the same amount of time and having a similar issue. I am currently studying for the CMA using the Becker app and trying to grab a screenshot of the digital text book. I've tried both the pickings 'crop' feature and an entire screenshot, but it only saved a black box. My hope was to i

Yet another RMPP vs NA5C comparison (for writing & note taking)
I totally second this. I tried using only my air 5c to do everything. But eventually my RMPP is back on my desk permanently for note taking. It just feels really natural like real pen on paper, while boox really feels artificial. For all the other stuff the Boox is the better one obviously. But pen

Boox support

Introducing Scrawl, a handwriting-first keyboard for Onyx Boox
I went through a very similar arc with Boox + Obsidian where the constant mid-stroke conversion totally broke my train of thought, so the “write first, convert when ready” thing really clicks with me. On my Note Air I ended up doing this janky workflow of handwriting in the stock notes app, batch co
