Hello Boox :) My feature request: Feature: Export searchable handwritten notes as PDF The Friction: When I export my handwritten notes, they lose the ability to be searched on my computer or my iPad. Your Suggestion: Amazon Kindle has the option to export a searchable pdf with my handwritten notes.

Quite honestly the security concerns are way overblown in my opinion. The question is does the device work well on the current operating system and I can tell you that it does. It's unlikely that Boox will release a newer version for at least a couple years. My guess is that with the success of the

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

For drawing Brad Colbow does good YouTube reviews and sometimes covers eink. For example (this the the NA4C, NA5C just came out): https://youtu.be/181nRu2MCHY?si=pqCUSI5BHVAJteos In general, for colour your main choices are Boox or Remarkable. Assuming you want at least 10 inch, there's the Boox Not

well, first of all, nearly everything is cheaper than reMarkable, which helps. generally for someone with your needs I recommend a Boox Tab XC or Note Max. especially if you are a big Obsidian fan, tho, I lean towards the Supernote Manta, because there's a really great integration for Supernote with

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

Electrical engineering student here, I would highly recommend going for an android based device. I use my device every day, and I find myself constantly going into my campus to download files, problem guides, PDFs, slides, etc. this would be miles more difficult with a remarkable.

Well, literally you can't move notes between different brands of devices. Nothing like that exists in hardware world I mean.So it is your choice whether you are tied to hardware or software. You can use Samsung notes, Microsoft OneNote or Apple's whatever notes they have. There's also notion, Everno

It's not like pen and paper. It's not as smooth and glassy as an iPad, but it's not pen and paper. The lower you set your expectations, the more likely you'll be happy with your purchase. 😆 Go to this comparison table, filter by brand Onyx Boox, stylus input. See what size you like, compare prices,

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
