Best e-ink tablet for heavy book PDF reading in a PhD?

  1. PDF handling — clean rendering, easy navigation, no fighting the device Boox and NeoReader is going to be best at this, e.g. it's very good at reflowing PDFs. 3. Annotation and highlighting — needs to work smoothly, and I would like to get highlights/notes out in a usable format. same for this. 4. Z

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

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

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

BOOX Firmware V4.2 is here! Community-driven updates and a new thread for feedback.

We'd like to be able to disable pinch to zoom in the Boox Notes app. Otherwise it starts zooming randomly while we write notes. You removed the button that disables pinch to zoom. Why? Please bring the button back. I returned my Boox Note Max because of that. I do like the fast mode in v. 4.1 and af

From reading the posts here it seems that the Remarkable is not what I should be purchasing...

I'm an academic. Get something that's large enough to display full page PDFs at a comfortable size. You don't really want to be messing around panning and zooming on eink, given refresh rates. That means one of Boox Note Max (13 inch), Boox Tab XC (13"), or Remarkable Paper Pro (11.8"). Boox devices

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

It's Official! Tab XC 13.3 Color Kaleido 3 Just Dropped

I'm going to guess that within 3 months, there will be a 13.3 inch Note Max C that will be a better device than this glass screen, suboptimal non EMR surface pen Tab X C. That said, dammit about my willpower given I've been waiting 7 years for a Boox 13.3 inch color device.

Best e ink tablet for PhD?

a lot of your decision comes down to whether you need a screen light built in to read by. if not I tend to recommend the Supernote Manta or Boox Note Max. both are excellent for pulling together content on a big, easy to read screen. the former is better with respect to organization and building a p
