Can y'all help me understand some of the different technologies used in different Boox tablets?
Is "InkSense Plus" really worse than EMR? there is no straight answer to this because USI accuracy depends on a combination of screen tech and pen. the InkSense Plus pen is capable of accuracy on par with EMR -- better than reMarkable's USI anyway which nearly everyone accepts as being functionally

I need the X4 with Android.
The Boox Palma is a 6" smartphone-sized eInk device powered by Android. It's unfortunately just four or five times more expensive than the X4. The X4 is powered by a really low power microcontroller that can basically just handle updating the display, reading ePub files off an SD card, and some basi

Is the Boox Palma 2 pro for me?
You should never use banking apps on a chinese made device with an old OS and questionable security with rare updates. That's insanity. The Palma 2 isn't a phone so phonecalls, text and hotspot doesn't really apply. eink does not replace an iPad/Tablet, its a luxury device that people will have alon

E-ink displays — why aren't they in more devices by now?
I hope the Boox Palma 3 Pro gets full phone functionality and a proper software support lifecycle. Though I would need to hear from recent owners that they haven't been lied to like I was with my 2 Boox purchases. My Poke Pro never received Android 7 like they promised before I bought it and my Boox

Durobo Krono, or should I wait?
Thanks for your reply! I considered the Palma 2, but it runs on a much older version of Android and I'd prefer a device that stays current for many years. I'm also aware of the supply issues; for instance, here in Spain, Amazon says it won't ship until July. There are rumors that a new model might b

Dumb smartphone for Swedes
Problem is they don’t recommend it. If I’m going to use a banking app I want it to be secure. Will research Boox Palma! Edit: Too large unfortunately.

Does AiPaper Reader pair with smart watches
I do not have a smartwatch and dont use any google services on my Reader so I cant answer those questions. But I can tell you that it doesnt have GPS at all, and you cannot use the official chatGPT app because of some kind of device attestation error which may also affect your banking apps depending

Love my Boox Palma 2. Best Purchase Ever.
Wanted to state this clearly for posterity:-The Palma 2 can't be used with a stylus.-It can't be used to jot down notes or grocery lists.-It doesn't come with the Boox notes app, nor is there a seamless way to share notes from your Palma to your Onyx etc.-It's a skinny e-reader that's shaped like a
