What would you like in a 7.8 inch display device?
I'd like a non-proprietary format for saving notes — for example using the PDF format. And using a PDF engine from one of the larger providers (say Adobe?) to ensure greatest compatibility. Not using whatever PDF engine BOOX is currently using, which is awful in so many ways. Similarly, using a non-

So Is Rocketbook Going to Be Sold to a Different Comapny? (Discussion)
I moved on from Rocketbook a while ago mostly because the amount of work I had to do to fit the product into my workflow. Frankly, I am not sure there is much of a way forward that doesn’t include some sort of tablet device not unlike the Boox or the Remarkable. The concept is really good and I love

BOOX Firmware V4.2 is here! Community-driven updates and a new thread for feedback.
It just doesn't always clear when you open something else or turn a page. Granted it is a bit improved over what it was like in the initial release. I always have the navigation bar at the bottom now so I can do a quick refresh. It's mildly annoying but not enough for me to give up on it. I wish the

Feature: boox assistant app on desktop and mobile The Friction: Viewing notes on Boox assistant never work for me. Either strokes is messed up or the template background doesn't render.

Question for Libby users on Android eReaders
Yeah it doesn't get rid of them completely, but for me it did reduce the page turn. I usually send my books to kindle from the libby app and read them on my kindle app so the very few books that I have to read on the libby app it doesn't seem so bad. It really helps if you can do it through the devi

How to send a handwritten page to whatsapp contact?
Export the relevant page(s) from your Boox device as a PDF file, then send it. If you've set up your Google Drive/OneDrive/Dropbox/etc. backups, you probably have the latest copy sitting in there. You can transfer files easily using mirrored folders with Syncthing-fork, or with KDE Connect, or with

Onyx Boox Go Color 7 (gen ii), page turn buttons not working
Not all apps do, yes. It’s a pity but I guess not all app designers consider that some people will have devices with some sort of buttons. :( (It’s annoying. The main app I got my Boox Go 7 for - a local subscription service app - doesn’t recognise any buttons at all, and it’s so frustrating, especi

4.1.1 on NA4C - mostly great!
I also believe that note files are internally stored as SQLite database files. (I'm not an expert in Android development, but I've peeked at them a bit using the adb command.) In the note files, even when strokes or pages are deleted, the file size does not decrease and seems to keep increasing. In
