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

Would you say the Supernote Manta, Boox Note Max and Viwood are better than IPad?
In terms of handwriting, I would definitely say yes. I did not try the Supernote, Boox or Viwoods; I have another device which is the Penstar eNote2. This is my first eInk device and it is cheaper than those three brands (in my budget opinion). It might not be as good as those three, but I am quite

Some comments on the V.3.8.4 update
The Penstar eNote is a first gen e-ink tablet that is a year or two older than the Viwoods. It had been in China for a while under the Hanvon name, before being brought to the ret of the world under the Penstar branding. What makes it unique is the fact it has no touch layer or backlight. All screen

Clarinetists who use digital sheet music: Any recommendations for larger tablets that don't cause eye strain?
I use an eink tablet to read the music sheet, I also hate eye strain, so I use my Penstar eNote Pro to read the music. I can also take notes and make annotation on it if I need to. Since it is eink device, it won't cause eye strain and I can tell it is true. It also have the front light, even in the

Colour e-ink tablet designed for PDF reading
My girlfriend has Penstar eNote Pro, it is color eink and I usually use it to read manga and reddit. I like its color performance. Of course is not as vivid as the ipad or phone, but when I use it to read manga, it remind me that I am reading an old color book, I'm kind of liking that feeling. So, I

Why is color e-ink so much more uncomfortable ?
I had a Penstar eNote Pro, it use the kaleido 3 display, it is darker than my eNote 2 which is b/w. I use it for reading mostly. And I feel it all right, since I don't read like couple hours. For all the color eink, I think it might cause the eye strain it is because color eink screens use color fil

Thinking of an E Ink Monitor for Work to Reduce Eye Strain — Worth It?
I was thinking the same thing as you. I spend almost six hours in front of my monitor, and I find that very tiring. Most of the time, I just need to read things. Now, I have a Penstar eNote 2, which is much better for reading than a regular screen. However, I still want an e-ink screen monitor becau

Tablet recommendations?
For your case, I would suggest the Penstar eNote Pro. My girlfriend has one, and I use it often. I would say it has very good color performance. I use it to read manga a lot. It also has five physical buttons, which I find very useful. The physical buttons make it feel more reliable. And they're all

I believed that you will like Penstar eNote 2, I had it for half a year, I also use my friend's remarkable for a while. I think eNote 2 offer the same writing experience as remarkable, or maybe even better I think. As for PDF, I think remarkable is some kind of inconvenience. So, I think the android

Help for replacing reMarkable 2
I've heard that remarkable's closed system can be a real headache for some people. In your case, the Android system is a better choice. I've had a Penstar eNote 2 for six months. I've had a very good experience with it, especially with the handwriting feature. I love it. I also agree with you that i
