I am a big fan of .pdf books. these are my devices for reading pdf files 1 galaxy tab ultra for magazines 2 macbook air for skimming papers 3 ipad pro for textbooks 4 surface go for nonfiction 5. boox note air 5c for fiction and 6 kindle for manga I read pdf files exclusively and i don’t like epub

Wouldn't just a single boox note max 13.3 do the job with .pdf?

I want an ereader with alarge screen. Any suggestions on brand and model?

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

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

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

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

Trying to do too much is not ideal

I think you are conflating the darkenss of the Kaleido colour screens -- there is no graying film applied on the BW devices. There is a textured film as you note. Your broader questioning seems to miss the entire point of BOOX, which is to NOT be Remarkable or SuperNote. What's the point of trying t

Looking for a large-screen e-ink device with the best writing experience (paper replacement)

College student here, bought a Boox Note Max and Supernote Manta at the same time, my priority was note taking and reading pdf’s. I was using an iPad at first but the eye fatigue was getting so bad I could only write on the iPad for a max of 2hrs at a time. Since I already had a workflow with the iP

boox tablets for essay writing

I do that in a Boox Go 10.3 and a Boox Note Max. It works well. You notice a bit of lag, but it is not frustrating. And it is much easier on the eyes. I use mostly Google Docs and Simplenote to insure a good sync. You can also type on the native note-taking app and supposedly it flows better.

I own an Ipad but it's too smooth - What do you recommend that is closest to paper and pen?

I tried Supernote, Remarkable, Viwoods, Boox, and the Kindle Scribe. All of them have good handwriting feel. I liked the Remarkable Paper Pro the least because the pen makes a tapping noise with every contact. The other devices are alike enough that I don’t see any advantage to one over the other. T

Advice for a secondary E-ink device

It's better to stick with Boox if you use the Boox notes app on the Note Max and want to sync your notes.
