Your welcome
How about the entire 10? : )
I like to watch this guy talk about and enjoy e ink devises
Glad to hear. Have you got one yourself?
@@KitBetts-Masters yes. Recently I had the note air 2 plus and the scribe in hand comparing then. I went with the scribe lol
@@diegot143what do you like the most about the scribe?
@@haroldgaming7 For its size it’s fairly light, easy to hold and elegant. Its an inviting devise,I want to find time to use it lol. Also the writing experience with the low latency and the screen not being too smooth but not too rough, they found a good balance.
I have the Book tab ultra and I love how I do all my academic works in this device. Writing while watching your video. Thanks a lot, it was with your review last year of December that I was apted to buy this device.
The analysis paralysis - what an apt term. I watched practically your entire catalogue of videos while deciding what to purchase. Thanks for continuing to provide reliable reviews and comparisons!
Cheers, what did you go for in the end and how do you find it?
@@KitBetts-Masters I chose the A5X since I"m mostly concerned with note-taking, but I am having some second thoughts. I feel like productivity would be greatly increased had I gone NA2+ with access to the Play Store. It's such a weird feeling to love my purchase, but to be considering ditching it. Still torn even after purchase!
Thanks for this these videos have been really helpful... You sold me on the supernote for the distraction-free writing - but have since heard/seen on other reviews the supernote refresh is too laggy for typing on it. Has that been your experience on it? Now thinking your rec for the Boox nova as an entry to eink tablets might be the way to go...
Thanks for this video! Love your channel! You mention the Nova Air 2 is your bedtime device. I wonder--why this and not something smaller like a kindle paperwhite (or Boox Poke 5)? Do you have thoughts on when it's helpful to highlight (which would be possible on a simple ereader) and when it's helpful to use a stylus and annotate a PDF? I used to love annotating on my Max Pro 2 so when I was looking for a bedtime reader, I figured I'd of course want stylus input on that too so I opted for the Nova Air 2. I thought I'd want to use the stylus for markup but most PDFs are too big to read comfortably on 7.8" so I'm primarily reading books which I have as epubs and am converting them into small-sized PDFs so that annotation makes sense. But since these are books I have as epubs (and not articles/books for research), it tends to be more relaxed reading and I'm not convinced I need a stylus anymore. I'm considering returning the Nova Air 2 (even though I love it!) and getting something cheaper and simpler. Do you think highlighting some books (using Poke 5 for example) when I'm in the habit of annotating other books as PDFs will make for a frustrating workflow? Am I overlooking something?
Part of why I want to return the Nova is that I'm planning to replace my old Max Pro 2 with a Tab X (A4 is the size I'd primarily use in my work/productivity), but I also would love a 10.3" device because I frequently annotate smaller books and an A4 screen feels like overkill for that. My ideal setup would be to own all 3 (13.3", 10.3", and 7.8") but that's a bit extravagant for my budget so that's why I'm considering returning the 7.8".
Thanks for reading this lengthy question! Your time is much appreciated.
Thanks for reviewing and showing all these, please continue reviewing the latest greatest ones. Thanks!
Thanks for the great video. I hope there's some highlights or what product it is on the corner if the video.
Great video, but still need some help. I was all set to buy the Supernote a6x, but they sold out, and their customer support said it might not return. Please advise which small e ink tablet currently available has similar or the best pen paper feel, writing, hand writing recognition, good file storage and organization (nothing else needed).
"It's a great way to break the analysis paralysis and get started with e-ink." Spot on! Got the Nova Air 2 about a month ago and love it! Use it for sketching architectural details and sharing notes, usually in analog. It's handwriting recognition is quite good though and that will be of use. Just take some care about it's login / logout, which Boox term Binding and Unbinding, and you'll be fine!
How does the browser work? Could you share a video ?
Absolutely! They make great little ideas/sketchbooks/ quick notes devices!
What are your three top devices for just true pencil to paper feel? I was looking at possibly getting one for taking notes in a college class? Thanks for your help, great video.
Thank you for the video. I really liked the top 10 idea. Though I think the Bigme inknote colour+ deserve more than place 10 on the list. Understand its battery is a downside but other things are not far behind from Boox tab Ultra C. Maybe if you create another list separating tabs from e-readers would be more appropriate.
Hopefully... I'll get to look at the inknote colour plus soon!
Need advice on my daily e-ink for University, I need something distraction free, but at the same time i dont think a Boox would distract me with its features. I am a history student, i need it mostly for note taking during lectures and taking notes on pdf files. My key point is writing on it and having access to a cloud. I thought about the Supernote because of the writing experience and its longegivity factor, but everyone seems to jump on the boox train especially for students, what do you recommend ?
Thanks to you and @MyDeepGuide, I decided to get the Supernote A5 X, I was between that one and the BOOX Tab Ultra but what ultimately propelled me to Supernote is their customer support.
Also battery life, of course!
Keep the reviews, I keep watching your videos with my Supernote under my arm, proud and happy!
I have chronic migraines and i suffer with led screens. I do have a kindle scribe, but what I needed was a kindle scribe with google play and acess to internet/apps. What shoukd I get? Anyone help appreciated
Hi boss, can you please suggest me which tab is the best for writing like smart paper
I have an old Boox Note (first version) and I was thinking about upgrading to Note Air 2 Plus but I'm worried about the fact that a Note Air 3 could be released soon. Buy or wait? That's the problem...
Can you use the Tab X as a 2nd monitor for your laptop? Instead of buying a Boox Mira monitor?
Can you tell me which one is the best value for money? thank you
i travel for work with numerous meeting and note taking to do and reports to read. would need one that recognise handwriting and at the need to be able to connect to a keyboard to refine the minutes on the go (i write too much short hand) i like the idea of the supernote and it seems it doesnt connect to a keyboard, would your next recommendation be boox tab ultra c?
Thanks for your review!
Boox Note Air 2 plus is awesome. I watched lots of your videos before choosing. A year later, still love this device.
Yeah, couldn't agree more!
Thank you for the video! Really enjoyed the reviews and one of the most comprehensive this year. Some feedback that would improve user experience. Small things, 1. Put chapters on the video 2. Put the Ranking on the description
Most of those I never heard of. I own the Scribe, Elipsa, Elipsa 2E, and BOOX note Air 2 plus. I find the Scribe to be most enjoyable
Which one of these tablets would sync with google calendar and have a backlight for night?
What would be the most cost effective device for capturing hand written meeting notes, and sharing / saving electronically in MS Office and Teams environment? In an ideal world, I'd have an e-ink device running a windows OS compatible software that would run microsoft notes, or be able to save files straight into it. I hand write notes in a paper p[lanner, and transfer them to an Outlook calendar task management system (GTD)
Hi, nice video. I am a student looking for an e reader where I can read textbooks in PDF. Is 10.3 inch ereader enough? Can you please suggest me a good one?
I have read that colour eink readers are dark. Is that true? Should I go for black and white as my main goal is to read books?
Should I choose Kindle Scribe or Note air 3? How is browsing on note air 3?
I've been really tempted by the Boox 13.3 line, yet just managing to hold out for the Supernote A4 Slim at the end of the year... just.
Yeah, certainly having a Boox A5 and a super note A4 would be a great combo!
If only they would make one in Kaleido 3.
Kit putting _'The Tab Ultra C'_ at top of his list... I never saw that coming! 😁
I know, I know! Predictable conclusion there!
Thanks for the video, I just ordered the Boox Note Air 2 Plus. Coming from Ipad Pro M1 and Kindle Paperwhite. Do you have a comparison done for which e-readers use which digitizers and refresh rates/lag rates? I would be curious to see if all the panels come from maybe 3 manufacturers and have identical specs. I would also be interested to see if there are specific panels with better performance regarding ghosting, lag, refresh rates, and ability to record pen strokes. It could also help to determine if there are OS performance related enhancements ie. Android vs Amazon vs what the others run.
Hiya, yeah the eink panels are all pretty much the same, baring a few small things, (some have plastic top layers some have glass, different pixel densities etc.). But the pen latency is more a combination of the wacom EMR tech, the processing and the software. Voja at MyDeepGuide has amazing detailed spec and performance comparisons!
@@KitBetts-Masters Thanks for the response. I actually bought the Boox Note Air 2 Plus and the Scribe. I decided to test my workflows on both. The Scribe seemed to fit best for my uses. The notes/writing/speed/battery life and just all around polished feel is what tipped the scale for me. All my books are on the kindle/amazon platform, so that was a pretty big driver. The kindle app on the Boox, while pretty good after getting the DPI Tweaking done/refresh/sizing etc.. it just had too many little quirks that bugged me personally. The Boox is pretty great, and a tuner/customizers dream. The writing on it feels good as well, probably slightly better than the scribe... However, I don't think that the pros were THAT much better than the Scribe for my 2-3 uses. The other big thing, that might not be a big deal for others, but during sign up for Boox there was some verbiage about data centers out of the US where data could be read/modified/shared/stored. Also, I don't recall the exact quote, but it was something to the likes of "We will do our best to keep your data private...." haha... The increased DPI on the Scribe is noticeable on some of my books(mostly technical in nature with diagrams).
I bought the Supernote A5X in Nov, but couldn’t help myself and got the Tab C and I love it!!!
How is the battery life?
@@Bruceneuman for my use- it’s been really good. I don’t use the keyboard on it and I tend to use it outside of the house off wifi. I note take and read on it, so I’ve generally gotten a work week out of it between charges. But I am not a heavy user.
Yeah, are you keeping both! They are quite different devices really!
@@KitBetts-Masters it’s looking that way. When I write freehand, I prefer the Supernote and I love the HOM 2 pen.
I would like to ask you, Which one is better? Or Wich one is more versatile? I only have the budget for one 😂 I'm looking for read pdf files and write
Thank you for all your videos about e-ink devices. What model would you suggest to play chess online? Thank you!
Oooh, they're all good for that. I think the colour will actually be useful, because chess.com has coloured backgrounds. So I'm thinking something like Tab Mini C . But you would be happy on any of the 10.3 or 7.8 inch tablets from Boox to be honest!
@@KitBetts-Masters thanx very much for your answer!
As french speaker the UI of these tablets are : English or chinese for the Supernote and English for Remarkable 2. If you don't understand on of these languages don't buy, it's just crazy in 2023.
Agreed. I'll have a dig into the settings and see if I can find if any have other options!
Merci pour ton commentaire
Who even doesn't speak English, craaazy in 2023 🙄
And especially people from Europe? Like isn't the stereotype about Europeans that they keep bragging on about how they speak multiple languages?
@@SG-pu3rx why European should speak English? Some people don't go to school or are bad for languages and good in maths, oldest people, ... I suppose you speak more than one language 🤔😉
I understand that it's not yet fully released and also rLCD rather than E-INK, but since you had a sneak-peek at it, if you had to, where in this list would you roughly put the Eyemoo? Also, we really are long overdue for a third-gen Remarkable at this point.
Interesting question, I think the eyemoo is a different thing at the moment as no pen input. Honestly I think it might be a couple of generations before we see a great RLCD tablet, it's an interesting start point and useful if you know you need a high frame rate reflective screen tablet.
Hi just subscribed, please help I have craved for an e-ink display that I can put into portrait mode for additional display space, not just mirroring, for coding/programming connected wired/wireless to a macbook air. I do no want to use Duet though. I am also a physics teacher and the reading and note taking /annotating would be very useful too. Is there such a device please. Kind regards, David
Agree with Ultra Tab C being number one (and I own the Bigme Galy). Boox needs to make an Ultra Tab C in 13.3 inches and they will sell MILLIONS. Why has no one done this yet? It is driving me INSANE!
100% I'd love them to bring out a Tab X Ultra C!
@@KitBetts-Masters Make it happen my friend! Influence them. LOL.
Hello sir, im writing from Turkey and im searching a good reader (not the best cos i cant afford) in my country they are extremely expencive so im about to go crazy, so i need your help cos again in my country to read booxs is not such a popular thing. So its hard to find any explanations for devices. Im watching your videos since 2 weeks but im confuse than ever!😅 well i want to buy onyx boox poke 2 color which its effortable(kinda) 6000tl (minimum wage is 10k in turkey) and i also want to buy Tab mini C, which its 18000. So i have to spend more effort to buy to second one.😅 umm my question is, do you think Poke 2 color make me happy or enough to just read books? Ik that ghosting problem on that, but its still cute device, if it wont than what about tab mini C? Also do you recomand any other device? Im sorry for my long letter and bad english, if you answer ill be so happy, thank you and love from Turkey.❤
Hi i've been enjoying your videos. It would make me very happy if u answer my question . I am a med student and i read a lot . So i've been thinking that e ink screen would be my best friend. But here is the question do u think tab ultra c is suitable for long term use? Like can i use it for at least 3 or 4 years?
Yeah, should still be going just fine for three to four years. They've said they will keep updating software for at least three years from launch date, so I think you'll be ok there.
Great video thanks. I’m torn between scribe and remarkable2. I don’t want extra features. Note taking for studying Mathematics. Please can you tell me which would you recommend for the writing experience, pen types, for formulas etc? Amanda from Manchester UK. 😊
Hiya, probably about equal really. Neither can recognize formulas though!
You've got tags and things on the remarkable so that might just sway it. Although if any of your study books are available on Kindle that might sway it that way too,
I don’t need OCR. It’s for working out answers and study notes. I’m thinking of ordering both and returning one as they both have easy returns. How will I really know until I try them in person? Thanks for your help. I still have a few of your videos to watch. Really helpful.
Study books are pdf.
Hi! Where would you put note air 3C? With tab ultra C? Thank you, I really apreciate your videos
Hehehe, updated version of this will be live in Thursday evening!
@@KitBetts-Masters hope note air 3c will be in a high place! Already ordered it😬😬
Where to purchase any of these in Kochi, Kerala, India. Please direct me.I am interested in purchasing.
Is it possible to make Tab Ultra C or Tab Mini C force as grayscale? Because I don't understand how it works, color DPI is less than grayscale. Or it detects it automatically? When I just open a book, DPI will be as color mode or b/w??
Hiya, you don't need to. All black and white detail is always shown at 300dpi, is just that the colour is sort of "filled in"at a lower resolution.
Good job, cery usefull😊
I know of the Fuji Quaderno to be another A4 E-Ink Tablet, isn't it? Unfortunately there are not too many reviews on that. Is it to far behind technically?
Hi. Please HELP!!
I've obsessively watched reviews (mostly yours) over the last few weeks trying to decide which eink to go for. I've been back and to and then think I'm all set for wanting the supernote (regardless of the hefty price to get it from the US to the UK ) and then I see a comment somewhere and think .. argggh that won't work and I'm back to square 1 🙈 ... I love the sound of SNs keyword, digest, 🌟 and titles to organise and navigate through notes. I think I'd prefer pen to paper rather than pencil but for most effective note taking for me ... I want the ability to 'snip' parts of PDFs to add into my notes ... I've read that's not possible on SN?! Is it possible on any of them?
This decision process is certainly a journey ... 😅
I just need something to replace all the notes i write on random things for work to keep it organized. I would also use it to take notes while in meetings. I would like to save the notes to the device, no transfering them to phones or laptops. Which device would be best for my uses?
Hiya, scribe,remarkable or A5X will do you just fine. Check out my latest live stream as I go in detail about the current choices.
I got the boox nova 2 (not air) last week, because it was the cheapest for great value.

I was going to get the Boox Ultra C due to how open it is, running android and all that. But security is my biggest worry about it, I know it does consistently contact servers in china and I’ve heard updates are infrequent? If that’s the case then their products are a no go for me personally which is a shame because the hardware seems very good.
Yeah, I guess the android version is what you are meaning about updates, that's a drag. However they have added US based servers now which has made some improvement on the security front.
Thank you!
It may not count as working “really well,” but I think OneNote works well on my Tab Ultra C. I use it daily. Sometimes it can be wonky, but definitely works.
Yep the handwriting patch is an acceptable workaround!
I have the Bigme inknote c + and I got the Boox Mini c about a week prior.
I feel the mini C has FAR better ghosting and overall in quicker too.
Which is unfortunate because the Bigme has a more paper like screen imo.
Yeah, how's the battery on the bigme?
@@KitBetts-Masters hmmmm I used it for almost 20 minutes today on comics flicking through pages messing with settings and it dropped about 3% - I think I'll send it back. I dont want to. But the difference to the mini c is night and day. I would prefer it if the ghosting and speed was better. The ugly camera on the boox lol. I will stick with my Mini C until a Boox X c comes out I think.
@@BrianHallmond Boox X C or A4 size colour will be something outstanding today. But I think the challenge with it; how much the weight of the battery will be which will determine the size of it to make the device practically wanted unless a far advance tech will be used to make it lighter and effective at the same time. Secondly, think of the price, I don't think will be less than 800 USD.
Kitt, now that good notes is available on android (though in beta at present) will give it a go? Maybe compare it to the native software?
Enjoy the summer break, you've earned it.
Thanks buddy! Yeah, enjoying slowing down a bit and taking time with the kids!
Will certainly give it a go! But I imagine, unless Boox enable the handwriting mode, like they do for one note, it will be a laggy experience!
my boox tab ultra writes in one note really well. thats the only app that seems to work well for writing ( outside of the stock apps )
Yeah, they have a handwriting "patch" on top of one note, this is something they could do with other apps.
Top1 is the Boox Tab8 for me :)
What do you think about huawei matepad paper, not eligible for the list ?
I haven't tried it unfortunately. But honestly. I don't think it would make the list... maybe at 10! 🙂
@@KitBetts-Masters Actually, I was thinking of buying it, but what are the shortcomings you can say as obvious ?
Just went to the store and tried both Note Air 3 and Remarkable 2. The RM2 is so far superior in its writing feel, I'm shocked no one mentions it. There is zero delay with the RM2 and a major lag by comparison on the Note 3. Literal night and day how inferior the Note is.
Still asking myself if I should get the supernote a5x for university of applied science
It would be amazing, but ask yourself if you would find more access to cloud locations useful for study. If so, go Boox.
@@KitBetts-Masters I also saw your recommendation in the other video after commenting to this. Have to finish the video though. My question is rather, do I trade the writing feel of the supernote and the hom pen against the cloud usability. Especially without ever trying both of them! To understand better, I probably must order both.
Can we read kindle books on Boox tablet?
Sure can, you can download the kindle app from the play store. :-)
Remarkable2 will replace your defective device with new one.What you don’t know is that if some problem occurs to your device during warranty period they not gonna replace it with brand new one but with refurbished product.If you don’t belive me go check their warranty policy or contact their team with question.
I got a Kindle Scribe a while ago and it's a lovely device hardware wise and a joy to write on. Unfortunately, its software is still quite limited. I replaced it with a Note Air 2 Plus and while its apps are quite clunky to use, the battery is amazing. I also loved how I could customize its gestures! My bottom gestures are multitasker (kinda like RM2 quick access) home and full refresh (like on Supernote). But man, that software... For example sometimes annotating PDFs, zooming and switching pages all together feel like a chore!
Hi, I'm looking for a device mostly to read, pdf and books, how was your experience with the Kindle Scribe ? Which one do you recommend? Thanks
@@haroldgaming7 The scribe is just a great device. Writing feel is great, built like a premium device and lovely screen. If you don't have any particular needs other than the absolute basics plus some writing and note taking then go for it. If you need more (i.e. customization, split screen, quick switch between notes and PDF, etc.) then you may feel limited. More updates may come but there's not a defined roadmap.
Sir, I watched one of your videos and purchased the boox note air 2 plus. I live in India and I'm sorry to say that there is practically no support for the product at all. I feel I've wasted my money on it. The product seems to have a very lean learning curve. Very very lean, rather. And sadly there is no kind of support available for it at all. I'm surprised.
Do you expect Boox to release an A4 size color device?
With you on that brother. That's the one thing I want more than anything and I already own an Ultra Tab C, an Ultra Tab X, and the Bigme Galy. Need a 13.3 inch screen in color to handle pdfs natively.
I don’t agree with the tab ultra c. I purchased it and couldn’t get over the ghosting and the latency when taking notes. Maybe I had a faulty machine but it just didn’t write as smooth as the kindle did.
Wow, yeah, you shouldn't have as much ghosting here as ok the Kindle. Something wrong there. Only to say that as all the things Kindle does are static and so can do full page refreshes more often, you might not see as much ghosting on it.
Waiting for Note air 3 300 ppi black and white
Think that will be a pretty shy m sweet device, any other features in the wish list?
@@KitBetts-Masters New Boox tab X with better ppi and keyboard. New 13 inch and 24 inch eink monitors.
When you get the Wave color, dive a little deeper into that note software. I would love to hear what you think of all of the capabilities and competencies of that little piece of engineering. I think some people are missing that and it's one of the Waves biggest strengths. The simple interface makes it easy to not dive deeper ..and oh my gosh.. what this little thing can do.
You are very kind about the Galy.. It's the first eink device that I've literally been driven to giving up on.
Seems like the wave will be very good but they haven't got back to me when I've enquired as to what's up.
Seems the gallery screen is a dead end for tablets!
Wait - did the Kindle Scribe land at #6 and #4?? 00:05:55 and 00:07:19
Oooh, I think I see what you did there. It jumped up after the update. Sorry, that was confusing at first :)
Hehe, yeah, I could have made that clearer!
very nice viseo as always, my wife is a new born author and i want to make her a gift, which one is for you the most suitable for her.
A5X is splendid for writing, but I would take a look at the remarkable 2 and the Tab Ultra or Tab Ultra C from Boox, just because those three have great keyboard cases too.
thanks @@KitBetts-Masters probably i will buy note5x just because she want to write by pen.😀
I want a coloured A4 😢
Great video, but now I have a headache! Too many choices!
I want an one writing/notes only. A play store is not something I want in this type of device, i can get a normal tablet for that.
Best review I've seen on all these notetaking E-Ink options!
I've had my eyes on the Remarkable 2 for a while now, but after this I've had some new questions/concerns - maybe this thread can help
I'm a filmmaker by trade, I want a device that helps me:
1. Read and offer feedback on mine and other people's scripts right in the margins
2. Screenshare Storyboards during zoom meetings or google meet
3. If it can create spreadsheets or edit spreadsheets that can be exported as CSV's to help with metadata on shoots, that's a plus but I am not completely sold on that
Could go small but probably want larger.
I'm not interested in spending more than $600, but could be convinced
I'm full IOS, too, so getting an Android device makes me feel bad, but it looks like there isn't another option for my needs. I used to think B/W was all I needed, but that was mainly because I didn't know color on E-Ink was even an option. Could help with feedback on scripts. I'll probably still storyboard in greyscale cuz I do like things to be simple, but color might actually be a game-changer...
What do we think, y'all?
Just returned the kindle scribe as you cant remove the recommendation advertisments from it
I finally got my TUC. I cant go back
Yes! So the scribe is finally on the shelf?
@@KitBetts-Masters oh no I haven't used that in a long time I was using nova air C and lumi. Scribe is the best tablet with no features
*throws money at the screen wishing for Tab X color version to appear*
Haha! Add a keyboard case and we have a winner!
if give me one it would really help a lot in my studies, i will view,react and share all your videos, hope i get notice.
So the tab ultra is not on the top 10?
I've just sort of lumped it in with the Tab Ultra C. If it was on its own it would be third behind the Tab X.
While I love my Boox Max, I WISH they would make a CHEAPER one devoted ONLY to READING. I don't use the device to write or draw or surf the internet or OCR, etc, etc, etc. and DON'T like paying UP for that capability. Just offer me a CHEAP large screen reader.
I don't think the e-ink tech is any good at the moment. I bought the onyx boox nova3 color 2 years ago and it is below average. Writing is kind of ok but not that good and I rarely use the device. Ghosting is a major issue and along with dark screen (I've to have the backlight on most of the time) it makes for a quite painful experience for the eyes. These are marketed as good for the eyes but I find myself very quickly with eyes in pain after using this, it must be the backlight (or frontlight as I've found out recently, the light is probably led in front of the screen, the worst kind of thing for the eyes).
Also they are very expensive for what they are. They cost as much as an ipad and you'll be better off with the ipad for almost everything including eye strain.
Curry's recently had a remarkable 2 on display. And the screen seems a lot better, it is white so the ink looks a lot more like paper. But suspiciously locked on a position with a light on top of it. And I wonder if they are doing this to show the device on an optimal light and avoid reflections?
Just to mention a few drawbacks:
- ghosting or very slow refresh. Choose your poison. And btw how is this better for the eyes? Either corrupted image or flashy-redraw every time you do something
- as tablets they are pretty lousy. Slow, with an un-intuitive edition of android. Remarkable is not even a tablet. With Boox I tried their recommended screen sharing app (because you want these to draw things and share them on meetings). After like a billion security warnings when I was installing it on the boox tablet itself and also on my mac, the experience was terrible. I was drawing things that were not shown on my mac.
It just makes me wonder: what's going on with all those youtube videos painting a good image for these tablets? They are slow, bad for the eyes, they won't replace pen and paper. The only reasonable one I've used so far was a kindle and that because I had to change page every a couple of minutes and it was ok. But even that one eventually I gave up in favor of normal books even if those were more expensive.
Thanks for sharing your experience!
I think colour has come on quite a lot since then. Also, I've no issues regarding screen directly using the built in Mira cast in android, so no security issues there. I also find them very eye friendly, just as much as the Kindle. Although pure black and white eink is still optimal for simple text. You are right that always is better to go for good natural lighting on the screen rather than relying on the front lights, but the front lights are better than transmissive screens by a long way. I think the jury is probably still out as to whether they are better than an oled turned right down in dark mode though!
@@KitBetts-Masters for me the front light hurts my eyes, I feel pain after a while. I noticed the same for my son (who is the other reason I am closely looking at these tablets because of his myopia). Also there is a lot of glare, you can see it in your videos too as soon as you move the tablets a bit away from the optimal lighting you have, but for me most of the time the light is not optimal at all. I would like something which works better taking into account the UK weather and how much sun we have here. My son also has a very good lamp (with floor stand) but still with the boox there is too much reflection/glare where as normal paper books are fine.
Since my boox is color e-ink, it seems to be worse off regarding readability. And I see newer boox models are bit improved but I don't think that much that it will make a difference. So I am thinking BW is better but not a full tablet (they are pretty useless as tablets) because you can't even read a static web page. I've tried reading documentation (technical, programming stuff) but it is pointless. Most of web sites were not optimized for these devices. It is a bit OK with BBC or Guardian if you're ok with all the flashing and slowness.
regarding the mira cast, I searched yesterday but for macos the 3 more popular ones are paid. Casting and drawing on screen on meetings seems essential for these products and it should be supported out of the box. Maybe things are better on windows. If anyone knows a free reliable and secure casting please let me know.
In my opinion the best e-ink device is the cheapest one lol. I really don't want to spend 400-1000 dollars on something that I'll only use for reading.

I have bought a kobo elipsa, last year, and I cannot used it more than three times. It freeze every time I try to write and to convert the text, but also for reading! It really sucks! I have completely lost my money. I contacted the customer care and they only offered me a refyrbished one, as I could still trust in such a instrument. Don't buy it!
Anybody else concerned with Boox customer service?
Thankfully I haven't had to use them yet. However, they can't be as bad as Good E Reader (stay far away from that company).
vocal fry is insane
Buying a black and white e-ink tablet now is a bad idea, considering the fact that there are more and more color ones.
Thanks, I sort of agree, but there are still some benefits in terms of contrast and clarity with black and white eink and for people who were only interested in reading and writing words that might still be better.
@@KitBetts-Masters Agree. I gave my subjective opinion.
They are too dark/dim!
@@baltgames1 But much more versatile
Not is as myself you just want to write notes, the benefits of say... _'colour highlights'_ isn't enough to offset the darker screen baltgames1 has already touched upon or the higher battery consumption, but if writing notes isn't your bag then yes... you're spot on.
This video has a very weird format and distracting editing style. hmm.. Plus, your script for the video is in plain view
Really glad that somebody is looking at the Bigmes.
They have their strengths.
... And weaknesses but they fit a slightly different niche than Boox. So I'm glad to see you talk about them. They may be the only eink devices that play well enough with third party software that I can actually draw in third party apps without even using the global pen. There's a tiny lag without the global pen but it's very small and it's just enough to make me stop and pay attention to what I'm doing.
I wish they had a 7.8 inch version of this tab ultra c.
The camera is what really makes the tab Ultra C useful for me but it's too big, and to fragile, look around outside everywhere.
Hiya yeah they now have a Tab Mini C. First content around that is on my channel already.
I hope that Boox is generous to you 😉 I just bought the Tab Ultra C, because of your very good review! with the Keyboard as a bundle. Now it will sit next to my Kobo Libra 2 and iPad Pro - hopefully I will use it to its full potential 🙂. Thank you for your very insightful reviews.
Cool, How do you find it for Kindle and Microsoft apps, how good or bad is the lag?
@@SS-ui2le haven’t received it yet! Monday 🤞
Those Eink as note takers are all laggy . All boox all Remarkable all and all are only one single thing - Laggy in hand write , pixilated , Low resolution ..
For handwriting IPad is king . And in IPad using Noteshelf 3 is the way to go . And in Noteshelf 3 the way to go is using the fountain pen ( it is more of a regular pen albeit the name fountain ) and under fountain pen you want sensitivity OFF ( but ON is also good) and 0.5 or 0.6 or 0.7 or 0.8 thickness options.
That is the best way to go for writing and I have tried them all - E ink and IPad. E ink is too laggy and pixilated for hand writing.
For tipping also IPad is exactly like typing on a computer using even the same office bundles .
Using Bluetooth pen is much more responsive quick the using any non Bluetooth pen . Bluetooth is a must for the pen not to be laggy .
Ipad uses Apple Pencil which is a Bluetooth pencil .
Also in Apple Pencil you can use the same tip for 10 years . With E ink the nib is becoming mushroom like and needed to be replaced every 2 weeks or so , even 1 week , and the writing experience which is not the best from the start has a ad decline slop as the nib gets worn so quickly . Also those E ink nibs needing fairly quick exchange is a huge cons.
IPad screen and ease and fluid work and color accuracy are vastly superior to any E ink.
iPad is the only way to go from any aspect.
Would have been great if they were all clearly named on screen.
They are, but fair enough they could stay for longer.
Great videos... What's the best e ink device for OneNote users? With ability to sync.
Hiya, all the Boox devices can access one note just fine. It's the Android app so as long as you are happy with that. Oh, also you could access it on the web app as well. I'd suggest either the Tab Ultra C Pro or the Note Air3 C. 🙂. (colour will be your friend in one note.)
@KitBetts-Masters thanks for responding... I hadn't thought of that... colour would be handy in one note... I was about to pull the trigger on the tab X for its size.
@@skillsamurai-AU yeah, well the size is a great benefit too. Great for splitscreen mode!
