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

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

Advice on laying off the phone

Kobo Libra color has pen/note taking support. Onyx Boox also has very good note support. Boox is android based, but so few apps actually do well on eink that I wouldn’t worry about it being like your phone. Eink is really only good for reading and notating, I’ve tried apps like Reddit or Bluesky but
