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

BOOX note max has a large clear screen and their Neoreadwr is awesome. Not sure about the dictionaries but they run on android.

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 (

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

StarNote app is by Onyx international ie related to Boox!?!

So I gave it a few minutes' test drive, and found a few things. Nothing that can't be debugged and cleaned up, if the Devs really wanted to. It's not ready for a public announcement that "It's compatible, hooray!" yet, but it's better than anything we've ever had. Notebooks created in Notes, exporte

Help me find my dream e-ink tab?

Boox note Max is probably what you are looking for. 13.3 inch, black and white, paper like handwriting and you can use any keyboard with Bluetooth (although you can buy their keyboard cover). It doesn’t have a front light

Cons or downsides to owning Boox

I'd say it depends entirely on your use cases and the models you are looking at. There are 12 current models of BOOX devices, which vary greatly in screen tech, size, stylus capabilities (capactive vs EMR vs USI), screen coatings, storage, and power. Trying to paint that variety with a single brush

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

Best e ink for a student

Electrical engineering student here, I would highly recommend going for an android based device. I use my device every day, and I find myself constantly going into my campus to download files, problem guides, PDFs, slides, etc. this would be miles more difficult with a remarkable. I had a really har

Go Color 7 review: Get the B&W version instead

Because you can see the color layer even when it is off. There is something additional between the outer glass screen and the e-ink display. It makes the letters look fuzzy and the whole screen has visible “texture” that reduces detail. Compare these close up photos of the Boox Note Max and the Go C
