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

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

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

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 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

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

Boox Note Max 13.3 has good writing "feel" and a large screen -- you can read letter sized PDF documents without zooming in. (Device size: ~11.3 x 9.6 x 0.18 inches). If you don't mind a smaller (but also less unwieldy) device -- also with a good writing "feel" -- Supernote A5X2. (Device size: ~9.9

Boox launched the Tab Ultra C Pro just 5 months after the first Tab Ultra C, the writing feel was the same, but they also launched the Note Air 3C with better writing feel. If they launch a Tab XC Pro it might have some faster processor (not really in need, it is already super snappy and with absolu

Boox has 2 13.3” e-inks, Note Max (B&W) and Tab X C (color). I’m taking math and chemistry and was using a 12.9” iPad for notes and reading (both of my textbooks are online) but the eye fatigue was making it hard to do long study sessions (anything more than 2hrs at a time was a struggle). The 13.3”
