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

Not today, e-waste! Boox sent me a new USB-C charging board for $6 out of warranty, can't believe it still works

Managed to drop my Boox Page onto concrete from about three feet and somehow only broke the charging port. I think of eInk screens as so fragile but it worked fine until the battery ran down to 0% and it turned off. With no way to charge it back up I thought I'd need to get a new one entirely. I cou

Idk why people keep complaining boox is complicated and it takes time to get used to it

I just got the same device and I love it! With that said, I understand why people warn about complications: If you're new to e-readers AND android, then this device is not just a unbox and immediately start reading. You have to learn the navigation, android OS, how to get books, how to side load (BO

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

Best Ereader for actually owning your books?

I got a Boox page, use it with all my de-DRMed books. Love it. Buy my books from ebooks.

Kobo Remote vs 8BitDo Micro

I've had both as well as a 3 key keyboard. I prefer the kobo remote because it's intuitive and fits nicely in one hand. It is however super easy for it to turn on in a bag or pocket. The micro was my least favourite because it was annoying to have so many extra buttons. I use the 3 key as my page tu

Presenting the Octavia

My latest iteration of my writerdeck is named in honor of Octavia Butler. It is a iPad Mini 6 mated to an Epomaker EP64 keyboard with Drop DCX White on Black keycaps and a custom designed, 3d printed case intended to balance form with function. In the back is a swiveling handle and usb-c charging po
