Boox team listen up - here's why USI 2.0 is dreadful
I got enough shit in my life I have to charge. I don't wanna charge another pen. It's not a solution for me. My kobo libra colour has a pen that I have to charge. Given I rarely use it ok. But when I do need to charge it, it's an inconvenience. I don't wanna think about that. I have the Boox Note Ai

I decided I wanted a new eBook reader for reading .pdf files. I wanted it to be high-quality, with a fast refresh rate, a color display, the ability to use a stylus for note-taking and a large screen. After a long search I finally have mine it’s the Boox Note Air 5C. It works great with pdf files
To be honest, the battery life of the Boox Note Air 5C is not great but I found that reading books in a dark room with the brightness set to 10 is fine and it saves a lot of battery. For reading in a well-lit room you can turn off the brightness completely, which saves even more battery.

Physicist choosing a BOOX device for daily research workflow (Obsidian + Zotero) — which model actually holds up?
The Go 10.3 is probably your best bet. The Note Air 5C is a little faster and more powerful, but it is color and the battery life is poor. You do not need a larger device for your kind of work, and the larger devices are less portable (although they are faster). The writing latency on all Boox (and

Honest opinion about Boox Air 5C
Okay, so I ordered a Boox Note Air 5C. This post's comments and the other posts I read as a result of an increased interest are the reason. So, I just had to come back to this post to say something.... people saying the Boox is better are absolutely nuts. The Scribe Colorsoft is far and away better

nettbrett eller penn og papir?
E-ink er utrolig plagsomt å bruke om man skal se på noe i ettertid, responstiden til skjermen, ghosting, osv. er fortsatt veldig dårlig i forhold til hva man får men en lcd eller oled tablet. Som skriveflate er det bra, og man merker jo nesten ikke noen forskjell om man bare skriver som på papir. Me

Returning Boox note air 5c
If you're just reading books, I would get a Kobo. You'll get the actual month long battery life that you expect from eink (I get a solid week of battery on my Go 7 B/W, definitely feel I got more on my Note Air 3 B/W which could almost do 2 weeks but I do tend to charge when I'm down to like 30% bat

convince me to buy kobo clara colour instead of kindle coloursoft (or vice versa)
on the boox no app for me works as good as Moonreader (basic reading app on boox devices). i think the biggest issue for me is poor battery life on my go 6 (i recharge it every 4-6 days. i read with wifi off and brightness at minimum). i’d like to try a colour e-reader with better battery life (i do

What is the best color eink reader today?
I believe the best for unmatched overall performances is still the Boox Tab Ultra C. I still prefer it over the Boox Tab Ultra C Pro because it comes with a larger battery and is less energy hungry. Certainly the Boox Tab X C is interesting if you need a larger screen, but I prefer the passive stylu
