The screens are more 1992 than 2025. Limited color space, slow refresh on the screen and the like. Any e-ink device will look deficient if compared to a modern tablet screen. The benefits are longer screen time and eyes that still feel great after a long reading session. The older tablet designs tha

I also prefer reading in a two pane layout since it more resembles reading a real book... however just for reading my Boox eInk tablets (Imostly use the 10.3" Note5 and 13.3" Tab XC) still do a better job than the NXTPAPER 11 Plus, especially outdoors. The strength of the NXTPAPER is that it can do

I just watched another review on youtube and the UI on the Note A1 looks very similar to what Boox is doing on their eInk tablets. I'll now order the NXTpaper 11 Plus from Amazon and compare it with the Boox Tab XC. There are some very good reviews on reddit that compare the 11 Plus with the Note Ai

Boox note 3 user here. Very similar devices with same screen and hardware. Note 3 works like a charm still and despite having a larger device tab xc, i prefer note 3 for light comfy reads Can web browse and function as well as the newest devices in most respects. Not blazing fast but not so slow to

Same position for me, I will explain my drivers through pros and cons of waiting for a potential release of an updated device. Potential Pros Might get a slightly better screen or optimisation. The Tab XC has shown some colour improvements over NA4C, which is an improvement over NA3C with same tech.

Io uso un onyx boox tab xc che ha uno schermo e ink a colori da 13.3 pollici E l'illuminazione (È l'unico sul mercato con queste caratteristiche). MI ci trovo da dio, mi sono letto con molto piacere Kickass e adesso Dago. Unico neo ha lo schermo in vetro al contrario dell'onyx boox max lumi che inve

The Tab XC is way better than the NA3C for reading and annotating research and anything else that’s designed for 8.5x11” paper. But the NA3C is way better for writing. I’ll often use both at the same time: I’ll have research open on the TXC and use the NA3C for the notes I take on whatever it is I’m

Boox has 2 13.3” e-inks, Note Max (B&W) and Tab X C (color). I’m taking math and chemistry and was using a 12.9” iPad for notes and reading (both of my textbooks are online) but the eye fatigue was making it hard to do long study sessions (anything more than 2hrs at a time was a struggle). The 13.3”

The BOOX Tab X C (13-inch color) is fantastic. It uses a Snapdragon 855, which is more than powerful enough for reading, no matter which app you use. On top of that, the color screen and front light make readability excellent. I used to read scanned PDFs on the BOOX Note Max, but the lack of a front

(Nothing is backlit. They're all frontlit so they can bounce off the page.) Boox Tab XC. Most of the freedom of Android, with limitations being practical stuff like the fact that the screen isn't fast enough to play games or videos satisfactorily.
