Hello Boox :) My feature request: Feature: Export searchable handwritten notes as PDF The Friction: When I export my handwritten notes, they lose the ability to be searched on my computer or my iPad.

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

Any Color E-reader around 8-9 inch that is recommended?

I’m not sure anything really even exists between 7.8 and 10.3’’ screens in this market (E Ink Company doesn’t provide an awful lot of screen sizes for different brands to buy for their devices). So your choices really are either the few 7.8’’ devices (PocketBook Inkpad 3 Colour comes to mind and I b

From reading the posts here it seems that the Remarkable is not what I should be purchasing...

well, first of all, nearly everything is cheaper than reMarkable, which helps. generally for someone with your needs I recommend a Boox Tab XC or Note Max. especially if you are a big Obsidian fan, tho, I lean towards the Supernote Manta, because there's a really great integration for Supernote with

Worried about buying the Note Max

"unprovoked screen breaks" most often means somebody didn't realize that these devices (for the most part) are thin stacks of glass wrapped in aluminum and if you bend them, or apply uneven pressure to the screen, the glass substrates will crack. And, yes, broken screens are not covered by warranty

Best e ink for a student

Electrical engineering student here, I would highly recommend going for an android based device. 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. I had a really har

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

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

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
