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!

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).

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

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

I'm fairly new to the Boox ecosystem. I have a Note Air5C. I'm enjoying using the Notes app. The one feature I would like is either custom pen colours or a larger built-in palette of colour choices. I understand the display technology has limitations in this area but I'm hoping something can be done

Boox Air 5c or new Kindle Scribe Colorsoft?

I had a Scribe before and now have an Air 5C. The Boox is miles ahead of the Scribe, like it's not even fair. The note taking and annotations capabilities of the Scribe felt like an after thought. Also, the writing feel on par if not better on the Boox.

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

Boox Air 5c or new Kindle Scribe Colorsoft?

More like and a bit better (IMHO) than the Scribe in writing. Although, I haven’t tried the latest one. Not sure what your “reading apps” are, but it’s the only e-ink device that realistically does anything more than just Kindle and epub formats for reading. For me, note taking was super important a
