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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The best ereader for academic papers

If you need color, then the Boox Note Air 5C. Otherwise, the Viwoods AIpaper (for best screen and free AI), the Supernote Manta (for file organization), or the Boox Go 10.3 (similar to the others but a little cheaper.) These are all black and white screen with no light, so you have to use them with

Remarkable Paper Pro Move Disappointment.

Design-wise, the rM2 takes top spot for me. But I don’t like the glass screen. I’ve kept my rM1 just for that reason. The rMPP is very attractive, but I’m skipping that one. I must say that the Boox Note Max is currently on my radar; similar design to the rM2, but for me a more practical size.

I need help about choosing a model in regards to my profession.

Note air 4C would be great, It's a 10.3 inch device Since you would require to read a lot you could have a look at the latest boox Tab XC which is a 13.3 inch device (on the pricier end) If you are fine with a b/w device , Boox note Max 13.3" would be the finest one out (it's the b/w version of tab
