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.

looking for thoughts on the Note X5 Mini and how it could be internationalized

Thanks for putting together the note. I really hope Boox team would see this. I already have a number of eink devices, Go 7, Palm 1, Note Max, Kindle Scribe 1 (tonight's announcement will be interest!) and I really wanted something with a small form factor, with front light and EMR support. After a

Why are ereader screens so fragile?

Used to be the only way you could get 13 inch screens (most of the big BOOX before the Note Max were Mobius). But, yes, expensive, not as crisp and some report a less satisfactory writing experience.

Boox, Fix your firmware! (Cannot disable pinch to zoom/touch control)

I’m having the same issues with my new Boox Note Max, and I’m seriously considering returning it. Writing in the Notes app feels unstable. Palm rejection isn’t reliable, and it keeps zooming accidentally while I’m trying to write. Erasing is extremely laggy in the Notes app. If I use a stylus with a

Yet another RMPP vs NA5C comparison (for writing & note taking)

I know writing feel is a very subjective thing in general, but being an owner of a Boox note max, supernote manta and RMPP, I always end up back on the RMPP as I just enjoy the “scratchy” writing feel best. At least for me, remarkable is the best in the business for this. I agree that the software o

I built an open-source optimizer to fix Boox sketch lag (draw 5-10x more)

I tried .svg export to .note. It worked for one file (https://openclipart.org/detail/355294/how-to-make-a-paper-fortune-teller), but maybe you could note in the documentation the Boox Note page size dimensions as when I picked a random image from Open clipart, it was too large to fit on the page.

my one page review of writing on the Go 10.3 Gen II

  • I went to the Boox Store today, and I really liked the device. In my opinion, the writing feel is still not as good as Remarkable's USI pen feel; however, it is close, very close.Apart from Supernote Manta's pen and screen, which I think is the best in the industry, I believe this is better than the

PSA: Firmware 4.1.1 release update (not just beta) pushed out for Note Max today

It's a brand new Max with almost nothing installed. I find the Boox Notes app to be laggy, in erasing or registering page swipes, especially after the 4.1.1 firmware update (and also they removed the option to disable pinch to zoom, so now the page zooms randomly when I write and its palm rejection

Looking for volunteer testers for my Google/Outlook Sync Enabled Calendar Planner for Boox

I'm having the same problems. The app crashes every time I write with the stylus. This happens on both the Boox Note Max and the Boox Go 10.3.It's absolutely impossible to properly test the app like this.It's impossible for the app to be released on the Google Play Store in this state, as it doesn't
