Honest opinion about Boox Air 5C
I switched to boox air5c 2 weeks ago (from 2024 scribe). For me it’s an eye opener. Notes taking is completely different. It’s like unlocking a demo version to a full fleshed version. And using the google store makes the boox also more useful. Now I read comics via dc infinite and Libby, my old kind

BOOX Firmware V4.2 is here! Community-driven updates and a new thread for feedback.
I'm fairly new to the Boox ecosystem. I have a Note Air5C. I'm enjoying using the Notes app. The one feature I would like is either custom pen colours or a larger built-in palette of colour choices. I understand the display technology has limitations in this area but I'm hoping something can be done

Boox Air 5c or new Kindle Scribe Colorsoft?
I had a Scribe before and now have an Air 5C. The Boox is miles ahead of the Scribe, like it's not even fair. The note taking and annotations capabilities of the Scribe felt like an after thought. Also, the writing feel on par if not better on the Boox.

Go 10.3 Lumi vs Note Air 5C
I had the Boox Go 10.3 for more than a year. I liked it a lot, but the lack of a front light was a dealbreaker for me. I then got the Note Air 5C, and a couple of days later the Go 10.3 Lumi was released. So I ordered the Lumi as well, to compare them and decide which one to keep. The Lumi has an in

Boox Air 5c or new Kindle Scribe Colorsoft?
More like and a bit better (IMHO) than the Scribe in writing. Although, I haven’t tried the latest one. Not sure what your “reading apps” are, but it’s the only e-ink device that realistically does anything more than just Kindle and epub formats for reading. For me, note taking was super important a

Quelle tablette choisir ?
Boox est de loin la marque de choix et la moins chère pour ce qu’elle propose. La boox go 10.3 (gen 1 seulement avec stylet wacom emr ils ont mis un stylet actif sur la nouvelle génération) est excellente pour tout ce qui est cité ou encore la note max plus grande. En couleur il y a la note air 5C é

Hows NOTES on the boox go 7? As good as ReMarkable? Or as bad as the Kindle Scribe?
I haven't used the scribe unfortunately, but comparing my experience with the ReMarkable 2 and the Boox Note Air 5C vs the Boox go 7 I can confidently say the previous two feel much better and i was equally impressed as you with their feel (ReMarkabke slighlty better imo). The Boox go 7 is ok, it ha

BOOX Note Air5 C vs Amazon Kindle Scribe Colorsoft vs Apple iPAD
kinda had the same slow page turns on my old scribe. the boox air 5 c is a solid step up - the android processor makes everything snappy and the color screen is great for highlights. i've had mine for six months with no bloat issues, just keep the play store apps minimal. the note taking feels way c
