Because why not?
Kindle unfortunately doesn’t support Bluetooth page turners. I have the same remote and can use it with my Boox Go Color 7 and Kobo Libra Colour, but I have to use the clip on page turner for my Kindle. It sucks that Amazon hasn’t added that ability yet.

Has Boox improved the durability of their devices?
What is Boox supposed to do? The screens are sourced from E Ink and are made of thin glass, which breaks when subjected to sufficient pressure or bending. And they simply have to be mounted at the top - otherwise you wouldn’t be able to see anything. That said, there is a warning to this effect on p

Idk why people keep complaining boox is complicated and it takes time to get used to it
If you figured out how to change the settings of the buttons, get rid of the store icon, reset where the home page will default to or how to rearrange the home screen quick button icons without searching for it then you are a tech wiz. I've used Boox devices before and couldn't for the life of me fi

Will Note Max get another update?
Works great? Wow. Here are just a few of the bugs I run into constantly: Worst ghosting I have ever had on an e-ink device (and I have a few). Every page of a document or notebook requires as full refresh (swipe) unless you are ok with all the remnants of the previous screen. This was made even wors

About handwriting OCR…
Notewise destroys the Onyx Boox OCR. You can keep your notes exported from onyx boox exported as vector PDF, import into notewise as PDFand then you keep adding to your notes manually or search all of your notes via the AI for that notebook. The only downside is there's 150 page limit

Proud new owner, and some questions...
I don't like the way BOOX has coded their full-page handwriting-to-text for some of those reasons. It doesn't recognise sentences that break across two lines, and treats each new line as exactly that: a new line. And it doesn't recognise a deliberately large gap as a paragraph break. I could search-

Small e-reader device to read academic books in pdf
Yeah. Some e-readers like boox have a PDF feature to TRY to address this, by splitting a PDF page into four quadrants. I've tried that and still it is not that good. While it eliminates the dreaded janky zooming in and out by just splitting one pdf page into 4 pages that is zoomed in, it doesn't bod

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-

I want to get my wife an reader but she uses so many different apps/sites to read. What's my best option?
Seconding this. The ghosting and grainy newspaper like quality of the go color is a lot. It's not bad if you're actually using color. You can get over it when reading comics or books with children. I use color to highlight passages. It's fun, and relatively easy on my phone. But it's not worth it on

Need opinions on why I should choose the reMarkable Paper Pro over the Supernote Manta
Ghosting is when you can still see previous writing when you flip the page and you have to refresh the screen. SN has dedicated refresh strips on the L&R sides of the screen, though I never had a problem with it. I've not had any ghosting on the RM's. But that BOOX? Even with the manual refresh (and
