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

You need size. 10 inches might work, but personally 13.3" like the Boox tab xc or the Boox note max would be a significantly better experience. If you can, scaling a printed copy of a page to the dimensions of whatever screen size you're looking at is your best way to get an idea of how well it will

What I like about android E readers is the capacity to take over all other devices. Boox is a good representation of this capacity. I’ve reduced almost all dependence on other devices since purchasing the Boox tab xc. While it cannot substitute laptop, with the capability to use word, read all kinds

I've owned and do currently own several Boox devices. To me you first need to determine if color is important to you. If not my recommendation would be the Go 10.3 or Note Max, since you do a lot of PDFs. However, if not having a frontlight is a deal breaker I would say go for the Note Air 4C or the

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

I've been using a Hibreak smartphone as my sole and daily driver for over a year now. First the Hibreak color classic then the HBP color. It works great. Try going from the Hibreak classic to the Hibreak Pro and you would be thankful to have this great little device. Same for me with LCD/OLED screen

If I were you I would go for a Boox Tab XC or a Boox Note Max. I've been using my NA3C for a few years now, and I can confidently say that it is really good for anything university related. It is very versatile, works well, and it is slow enough so that I don't get distracted. Even if Boox looks les

I have the BOOX Tab XC and had tried the Note Air 5c but returned that one since I felt the XC can be better for PDFs and comics. I sometimes still feel like the XC is too big for taking around my house to journal, and the only protective case I found is 3rd party on Amazon and quite thick. It's a g
