Recommendation for reading/studying

Take a look at the Penstar eNote 2. It is a B/W device with a super white screen. It is also a pen-only device, so it takes a little time to get used to it, but it's very good once you do. In terms of the writing experience, I'd say it's about 90% as good as writing on paper, which is very good. I c

[Advice] Help me to find a device that is good to take notes

It depends on how large of a screen you want. I also need to take notes, and I prefer the 10.3-inch screen because I think it's the perfect size for taking notes. I currently use the Penstar eNote 2 for taking notes. One thing I like is the split-screen feature. I can read documents or books and tak

Thinking about getting a Penstar eNote 2 🤔

I love my eNote 2! It has really helped me increase my productivity. I also like the button design. I think the multiple button design is kind of brave since most e-ink tablets have abandoned it. The buttons are not gimmicky, but useful, all the button is customizable. The handwriting experience is

Device for only reading, highlighting, note taking on PDFs, transferrable to mac

Check out the Penstar eNote 2. It's great for PDFs. I use it for notes and PDFs for work, and I love it. I usually keep a charging cable nearby so I can charge my tablet and transfer files. I like it, and it helps me a lot.

Which e-ink device should I get?

I'd like to recommend the Penstar eNote 2. It's my main working device, and I really enjoy using it. I think it's a great value for the price. Since it is a pen-only device, it does take a little time to get used to it. However, using only the pen isn't that bad, it really helps me avoid accidental

E-ink Tablet with open software?

I think the Android system would suit your needs. Boox, Viwoods, and Penstar might be good options for you. I personally own a Penstar device that doesn't have the Google Play Store. I believe the Boox has it. I usually install apps using APK files on my Penstar eNote 2, which is convenient. As long

Why are einks tablet so expensive and are they worth it

In my opinion, it is worth it. It is designed for eye protection and productivity. You can see that it is a well-organized notebook and bookshelf. It helps you organize your notes, textbooks, and books very well so that you don't have to carry around tons of books. It doesn't have too many distracti
