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

my one page review of writing on the Go 10.3 Gen II
Well, I wish they implemented this on Palma 2 Pro. It might become a very good opponent to the RMPPM with this. Honestly, I didn't even consider buying it, but after each reviews I see, I keen to buy it. If I had seen this device earlier this year, I may not have even bought the Kindle Scribe 2025 (

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

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

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

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

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

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

Does it's feels like iPad or more like real paper?
Here's my evaluations on the top e-Ink tablets with writing capabilities Writing feel: the 'feel' when you glide the pen across the display - reMarkable Paper Pro / Paper Pro Move: pencil-like feel, ample friction for good control over strokes, satisfying scratchy sound, excellent for artwork, harde
