Anyone has a non-Kindle e-reader? Which one do you recommend?
The 2 big non-Kindle brands are Kobo and Onyx Boox. the difference being that Boox is Android-based so you can download different apps while Kobo is a closed system like Kindle. It depends on what you want out of your e-reader. I personally have a Boox Go 7" (in black/white) and I'm a big fan of it

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.

Is the Viwoods AIPaper a good fit for me?
I presently own a reMarkable 2, Boox Note2, & an AiPaper. The reMarkable 2 has long been a staple in the E-Ink market, but it is currently hampered by aging hardware and a restrictive subscription model that gates basic cloud syncing features. With only 1GB of RAM and 8GB of internal storage, it str

I need help deciding between some ereaders for reading and manga
Boox note air absolutely. It runs android, you can install Minho or any other app you want. I have the boox note air2 and I started reading my first manga a few days ago. It's perfect.

Will Note Max get another update?
Works great? Wow. Here are just a few of the bugs I run into constantly: Worst ghosting I have ever had on an e-ink device (and I have a few). Every page of a document or notebook requires as full refresh (swipe) unless you are ok with all the remnants of the previous screen. This was made even wors

What annoys you the most when reading on the web?
On my MacBook using Safari, nothing really bothers me as I have an ad blocker which removes most of the nuisances for me. On my Onyx BOOX color tablets everything that moves for no good reason is the biggest annoyance IMO. I like to use EInk Mode not only for its better paginated presentation, but a

I treat my boox poorly and it works. For many years.
My cat bit mine, the screen cracked, and I still use it every day. https://www.reddit.com/r/Onyx_Boox/comments/1kzjjul/my_cat_took_a_bite_out_of_my_boox/

Can y'all help me understand some of the different technologies used in different Boox tablets?
Is "InkSense Plus" really worse than EMR? there is no straight answer to this because USI accuracy depends on a combination of screen tech and pen. the InkSense Plus pen is capable of accuracy on par with EMR -- better than reMarkable's USI anyway which nearly everyone accepts as being functionally

I'm thorn between these 2
The frustration is very real. This is why I have bought a new eink tablet seemingly every 8 months (Note air2+, tab c, remarkable paper pro, A6X2). I agree that software on the paper pro is frustrating. It also isn't as good for organization as it's competitors (supernote is the best in my opinion).

How to download from play store?
No problem! I had to do it a couple of times because I still got the "not certified" error after doing it once. Just make sure you go through the restarts after setup and force close the Play Store app when needed. It's a really good screen. I picked up the aipaper mini last week. Coming from my Boo
