It's time to check the competition

I'm not quite at the point of leaving RM altogether, but I will agree that colored e-ink just doesn't seem like it's a very reliable point in its development. Having both the RM2 and RMPP (and using both regularly), it definitely seems like monochrome e-ink is the more robust of the two. Makes me wi

Outdoor usage

These devices (not just BOOX -- all glass-based eink!) are thin stacks of glass wrapped in aluminum. The glass eink substrate is brittle glass and can be cracked if bent. Don't bend your device or let anything place irregular pressure on the screen (like loose objects in a backpack) and you'll most

my one page review of writing on the Go 10.3 Gen II

Well, I wish they implemented this on Palma 2 Pro. It might become a very good opponent to the RMPPM with this. Honestly, I didn't even consider buying it, but after each reviews I see, I keen to buy it. If I had seen this device earlier this year, I may not have even bought the Kindle Scribe 2025 (

Worried about buying the Note Max

"unprovoked screen breaks" most often means somebody didn't realize that these devices (for the most part) are thin stacks of glass wrapped in aluminum and if you bend them, or apply uneven pressure to the screen, the glass substrates will crack. And, yes, broken screens are not covered by warranty

How to prevent cracks from sharp temperature change in the future?

Case and protective insulating bag maybe would save it. I sometimes travel with my Boox Note Max with my case + insulation and it's fine.

Are e-ink note-taking devices like reMarkable worth it for software engineers?

The only one that work with a subscription (and it’s not an obligation to subscribe though) is the remarkable with connect. There is no hidden fees. I’m not a software engineer but considering your use of obsidian you might like the onyx Boox devices since it is an android google play enabled device

Ordered from BOOX Shop-nothing arrived. Whats your experience?

There are users who have had bad customer service response but those have been from mostly unrealistic expectations. I've owned at least 8 Boox devices and think the quality is very good. The Note Max is one of my favorites. I'm hoping they make a version with frontlight sometime in the not toi dist

Recommendation for reading/studying

Two questions to consider I guess. Do you need access to the google play store or not ? Do you need color ? (Color devices in eink give quite light Colors and a darker screen) Based on what you said and if you don’t need the play store or color I would suggest Supernote either the nomad (smaller dev

If you could only use one device, what are you picking

If I could keep only one single device, then I'd probably go for the Boox Note Air 3 C. I still love this thing most and enjoy using it every day. Contenders, and following suit, are Supernote Manta, Boox Tab X, Bigme Highbreak S Colour, and PenStar eNote 2 Pro.

What I Wished I Knew Before Buying Boox Note Max

Same old argument. Same response from BOOX. Not a hill for me to die on. Other companies do the same. Thinking any tech company is ethical is naive. How many of us use tech from a company that has actually been prosecuted for malfeasance and don't know/care? Baffled by this. What is your frame of re
