What is so bad about Boox ereaders?

I will preface this by saying that I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the Boox, but I do understand the bad reviews you’re seeing. It all comes down to what you are expecting and what you’re willing to learn. If you are coming from a Kindle (and I assume a Kobo) you may be expecting any eread

crazy insight from my therapist about scrolling in the morning

I can't speak on this from an anxiety standpoint, but I can vouch for it as far as motivation and dopamine are concerned. I've been great at not bringing my phone to bed for around 5 years now (I find it makes my sleep awful) and I always leave it in my study, while using an old school alarm in the

I just got a Boox Go 7 to replace an old Kindle, I love it so far! Any app suggestions for reading, or is default reader the best?

As someone who had been using Kindle Oasis, and then Boox Page and now Boox Go 7; Nothing can beat KOreader if you figure out its settings and find out your desired reader customization. EDIT: putting the book cover you’re reading on the screen saver/sleep wallpaper automatically makes KOreader irre

To those of you who have 2 e-readers, why do you keep both and what do you use each one for?

I bought my very first Kindle, a basic 2019 during the pandemic. If has been with me through everything, work, medical school, hospital duties. It’s my solace during those moments that I needed to dissociate. Then in 2024, someone tried to sell me a brand new Boox Page (sealed) for 50% off because t

Switching from reMarkable → BOOX Note Air5 C — looking for tips & advice

I have a Note Air 4c. I work in a tech retail store and we have the Remarkables on display - having tested both I can't say I felt that the texture of the screen on the Remarkable was any better than on the Boox which has a pre-applied matte screen layer (which I believe is true for the 5c as well).

Has anyone tried any Korean ereaders like the Luna X2, Crema Pebble, etc?

I'm Korean, and honestly from my experience they're very standard android based ebook readers with some user interface stuff that makes it easy for Korean users and to use various Korean services. (this is not counting the ridipaper brand of ereaders, that one is tied to ridibooks as a platform kind

Any help? This is so janky

Why do you want to open the PDF in Notes? If you want to annotate the PDF with your thoughts and workings, scribble in the margins, etc. then NeoReader is the app you want. NeoReader can do almost everything Notes can do: handwriting, conversion to text, shape perfection, text boxes. It can do many

PLEASE let me disable the infinite scrolling feature.

I personnaly love the infinite (vertical only) scroll. Like this I can use pages as a topic separator and I can accumulate data on the same page. But I can also just ignore the scroll and use pages as if it was a notebook (just by not swiping vertically). I'm very frustrated that Onyx Boox implement
