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

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

Best e-reader for a multi-column book?

You need size. 10 inches might work, but personally 13.3" like the Boox tab xc or the Boox note max would be a significantly better experience. If you can, scaling a printed copy of a page to the dimensions of whatever screen size you're looking at is your best way to get an idea of how well it will

Best e ink for a student

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.

should I trade in my boox go 7 (gen 2 BW) for the new go 10.3 gen 2?

The Go 10 is 2x as heavy as the Go 7 which for me is a no go. I love that I can pick up the Go 7 and read without the weight ever being an issue. Its about the weight of a cell phone. The Go 10 is the weight of a tablet. That's too heavy for me for long reading sessions. I still use my OLED tablets

I absolutely cannot decide on a model and it's driving me mad

I've owned and do currently own several Boox devices. To me you first need to determine if color is important to you. If not my recommendation would be the Go 10.3 or Note Max, since you do a lot of PDFs. However, if not having a frontlight is a deal breaker I would say go for the Note Air 4C or the

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

Bigme Hibreak Pro Colour is just not ready

I've been using a Hibreak smartphone as my sole and daily driver for over a year now. First the Hibreak color classic then the HBP color. It works great. Try going from the Hibreak classic to the Hibreak Pro and you would be thankful to have this great little device. Same for me with LCD/OLED screen

HELP ME CHOOSE!

100% kobo. Its cheaper than the boox and in all honesty I think a better quality product. I had a boox note air 4c and it stopped charging (not a good look for all other product lines.) Kobo is repairable, boox is not. To get a black and white device that costs more than a color device is honestly s
