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

Best e-ink tablet for heavy book PDF reading in a PhD?

Very similar situation as you. My decision came down to how much I needed a front light and how much I needed longevity in the OS. I landed on the Boox Note Air 5C after borrowing a Boox Go 10.3, but the darkness of the screen is depressing (I thought others were being dramatic). In daytime ambient

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

Palm rejection still an issue?

So, palm rejection isnt terrible, but its not perfect. What I have noticed is that using any apps like one note, its terrible. The experience is so bad - which is something worth noting because the biggest selling point of the Boox devices is the app support and freedom of an android system. But app

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

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

What is the best color eink reader today?

I believe the best for unmatched overall performances is still the Boox Tab Ultra C. I still prefer it over the Boox Tab Ultra C Pro because it comes with a larger battery and is less energy hungry. Certainly the Boox Tab X C is interesting if you need a larger screen, but I prefer the passive stylu
