I didn't even know this existed! I already have a kindle paperwhite, and won't be purchasing another e-reader until mine breaks. The only reason this wouldn't work for me, is the fact that if it has other apps on there, I might be more tempted to do something other than read. I don't really have the self-control to just download the reading apps, even though I love the idea to be able to use Kindle, Google Books, & Nook app. I do really like the look of the home screen, and the fact that you can write on it. Who knows, maybe I'll get something like this in the future. Very helpful and overall great review :) x
Yes :) wonderful that you're learning all there is in the ereader world!
This was so helpful, thank you! I'm a weebtoon reader and have been looking for something like this ❤
Something to keep in mind - if you don't really need the colors, this may not be the best choice. Because the color layer makes the screen darker, which results in having to use the frontlight a lot more - which reduces the battery runtime quite a lot. Black-and-white screen devices by comparison run often a lot longer (like the Onyx Boox Note Air 3). But unfortunately Onyx currently has no b/w note taking device in the 7" screen size range, which is the right size for me to have it always on me.
DON'T BUY FROM BOOX
After 2 months of having my Mini Tab C the screen breaks. After talking to customer service they claimed there was some external force that caused it and it wouldn't be covered under warranty. This was in their case in a bookbag with other sensitive electronic none of which had an issue like this. They said I can pay another $270 to fix it. I think I'll just take the loss of $400 before it ends up being a loss of $670.
I’ve never had any electronic device break for as long as they have been available. Phones, tablets, laptops etc. and I’ve had them all. Sorry for your troubles. I never buy the insurance either. A waste of money.
I canceled my Kobo order after I saw this video. I needed an eReader I could read my WebToons and my Google Play Books. The fact you can install all the reading apps from Kindle, Kobo, Nook etc is a huge plus!! Thank you for your review.
Amazon shoud be ashame by now. There is no excuse for the non-existence of a kindle in colour!
I am invested in Amazon. I do hope Amazon jumps on board with colored e-ink display. Great color e-reading tablet.
There's no doubt they will, but they're likely waiting for the tech to catch up to people's expectations of what a color ereader should be.
That might decrease the battery lifespan
I agree. I'm hoping Amazon is working on a color e-ink tablet. I'll even take a color Kindle Paperwhite. However, I like the size of the Kindle Paperwhite, IF Amazon does roll out a color e-ink tablet, I hope it's not bigger. And, I would really like them to put effort into making the system more seemless and faster. I know this will increase the price tag but I'm willing to pay it. I'm sure many others would be to pay as well.
Amazon are bring out a colour e-ink kindle sometime in 2025 (per goodereader)
@@angela-thebooknerdess2110 omg no way
I just ordered one. I read books, manga, and comics. I cant wait!
Hey! Will you write something about him after a long time? I'm waiting for him right now
Thanks for this! I don't want to buy a Kindle and the Kobo Clara was lacking something a kindle had. I use the kindle app on my phone and was looking for an eink tablet for my eyes. Think this is the one! Just wished they have more color options for the cases.
Don't quote me on this, but there are supposedly 3rd party cases being sold if you search outside of their official site.
Hey ! 🌟 Just watched your video at 4:30 and OMG, I need to know what app you're using to jazz up your book notes with that cool pen magic! 🖊📖 It's like next-level bookworm stuff, and I'm here for it. Also, major love for that color e-reader-it's giving me all the good vibes! 🌈💖🤗✨
It’s a feature on the device!
Please do a co,parison review of this and the new libra 2 colour by kobo! Love you and your reviews.
Oooo what a helpful video! I’m a grad student who does A TON of reading every week. I have an IPad Pro (which I use for annotating and writing) and a Kindle Paperwhite (because my eyes are suffering from all the reading 😅). This sounds almost like the best of both worlds! Would you recommend this for someone with my specific use case?
If it helps I’m investing in an e ink reader to prevent eye issues down the road. They have so many sizes too which is cool
Thank you for mentioning the difference in resolution when using the display setting with full colors. Maybe this is something I’ve missed when looking at the specs but I hadn’t heard or seen this before. A good and well thought out review this. 👌
Serious dilemma; i been thinking of purchasing this product but i have 2 concerns. No.1 is to small for taking notes, and is to big to grab it as a kindle with one hand and read it in my couch; I been seeing a lot of reviews and everybody put it on the table or in a stand… I mean is that the only way that you can used it comfortably? I personally want it to read on the go and take notes on the books that I’m reading, and yes make notes on color is a big deal for me.
This has definitely inspired me to make a follow up video on this! I can try to answer these questions - what kind of notes are you taking? It’s definitely fine for quick notes, might be a little small for something with more writing just based on how you’d want to structure a page that is quite small. And it is a little heavier than its counterparts but not so much that you can’t hold it on the couch 😊
@@papernroses that you so much; I will wait for that video before I purchase it…
I’m been thinking maybe! I can resolve one of the “problems” by holding the tab with a pop socket lol. I love the size of the kindle paperwhite (not the aesthetic) but comparing it to the book tab mini I don’t see a big difference in sizes; so I may be able to do it with a pop socket, I don’t know if the case will allow me to do this or if I need to buy another case.
Talking about the notes, I do make notes on the same page like a little review from the page or if something catches my interest or attention. But also I take note like a full review from the book; for this kind of note in particular (full review) I like to use the iPad because I feel in big enough and comfortable to write, especially because I can split the screen on my iPad, I really not sure if I can do the same in this one.
Something about this tab (boox tab mini C) tells me that I only can use it for reading and small/quick notes, but not for studying/taking class note. (Maybe that will be something for a bigger boox tab or an iPad).
1 more curiosity; can you tell if I can flip pages like a regular book? Or that is a feature that only others boox has…
Thank you for your time, I will be waiting for this second review ❤️ xo
i was thinking about having my first e reader be this or the palma, and the pen annotation has convinced me!! that’s amazing
How is the battery
hi! thanks for the great review! but how is the battery holding up on everyday use
This looks interesting.
But I gotta ask about the battery. How long does it last on a charge?
Hoping Amazon makes it possible to annotate in color directly on books on both a Kindle (reasonably priced) and using the app on a tablet. I have hundreds of books with Amazon and don’t want to jump ship unless they just don’t make this offering.
I'm a webcomic reader so this sounds amazing
Would you be able to use the Boox device for digital planning?
I was wondering the same thing!
Can i transfer my pdf books to this from my Android phone..?
Loved your video. Very helpfull. Can you please tell me how much it does weigh? Thank you! What's the app that allow you tô scrible on the books?
I was thinking of getting one and am so thankful for your review
You can convert kindle files to a kepub file so you can annotate on your ereader
Great video! Thanks so much for sharing 💜 I would probably just get the iPad mini instead of this and keep my kindle paperwhite, but I do love many of its features.
Can u use it without the front lights turned on? I read a lot of books and manga and I was planning on change my b/w ereader for this one, but I don't want to have the front lights turned on all the time
Can you annotate in the margins on the page in the kobo app on the Boox Tab Mini C?
I am planning to buy my very first kindle paperwhite but I really wanted a coloured e-reader. The Boox tab mini-c is too expensive here in Aussie.
This video really sold me on this brand! Because of the price I'm probably going to go for one of their devices without color tho
Love this ! We can have Libby etc on this ... all
Reading apps here ! This is awesome
Much appreciated for this review! First I saw your shorts, then I see your review video! It’s amazing and I’m going to get one now!❤ Book worm rocks!
Is this easier on the eyes than an iPad mini
how was audiobooks
Install moon reader in it
Great video! I was considering the new Kobo color, but after viewing your video, I'd consider the Boox. I own a Boox Note Air 2 that I love. Although I have read on it, my Boox is used almost exclusively as a note taker. Question: is there a way to share notes between devices, similar to what Apple does? That would be a killer benefit for those of us in the Boox ecosystem already. Again, thanks for the good review.
This would be great as I do like to read on various apps like kobo and scribd. Do you know if Goodnotes works on this device?
If there is an android app I’d say so
Good review.
Three questions to ask.
1. How does it perform in daylight? Do you end up looking at your own reflection?
2. Does it work with the Libby overdrive app? Guessing yes, if it's android.
3. OCR to convert your written notes to text?
Thanks
I bought a Big me coloured e-reader as it was less expensive than the boox tab mini-c but unfortunately the colour from the big me e-reader is disappointing. The comics and webtoon novels appear whitish and more like a bright faded colour. I tried adjusting the e-ink settings but nothing changed. I’m regretting buying the big me and thinking of buying the boox tab mini c or should just go with the kindle paperwhite..
Why is there such a huge price difference when buying it on the EU site...it s 450 euros which are around 480 USD....
I just purchased one. Should be here soon. I have a boox tab ultra. 😊 I ordered a Supernote but the back order was ridiculous so I cancelled the order.
I have a kobo but unfortunately there are books that I want to read that aren’t available in the kobo store. I know there are ways of buying ebooks in other stores and transferring to the kobo but I want something easier than that. I was considering replacing my kobo (7 years old, with a few charging issues at this point) with a kindle paperwhite but I have to admit that this one here is intriguing and the price reasonable. Kindle needs to up their game.
I wish they have a colored ereader that comes in 6". The size of this one is too big for my liking. 😢
I want to annotate books, but dont gave the means to store physical books. Biggest reason i want this because kindle wont let me also do audio books
I’m gonna buy one soon I just have one question can I download pdfs?
Can you advise if there is similar product with no color eink?
Do you think you could do a comparison review of this with the Kindle Paperwhite (or maybe even all the Kindles)? Or the iPad Mini? Also, how much heavier than the paperwhite is it?
I need a reader only for D&D manual .pdfs. How does it handle color .pdfs?
How can I purchase this thing in Canada?
Does outlook or teams application work with the ereader?
Thank you for your review! I was thinking of getting this because I wanted the ability to read from multiple apps and actually see comics in color and this sold me on it
I’ve been waiting for this I wanted to get this fit the colour and to get the reading apps mainly library apps since I can’t get that on my kindle and I hate reading on my phone
Does it have a read aloud feature where the book is read
kobo app will directly let u annotate i think
Hey! Loved the video! Thanks so much for highlighting this. I have two questions: 1) Is it backlit? 2) Does it have equally amazing battery life as the black and white e ink readers do or is it somewhat lessened because it’s in colour?
Can you do an update on how it’s been? Thank you ❤
This must be crazy expensive😮😮
holy shit that thing is beautiful
how is the battery life?
Guys help me to buy this, please
I love your unboxing vids. So soothing❤
best review so far based on my exact use case!
Thank you ❤
спасибо за ваш обзор!
Love this !📖💌
Thank you Kayla!
So I’ve never owned any ereader but having one in color that can also take notes seems very appealing. Seems like an improved kindle scribe based on reviews I’ve seen.
I swear these sponsored reviews are like those old adverts with hands just waving around and not actually USING the product to do anything.... How do you guys suck so bad
I have to upgrade my e reading the one I have is getting old I’m confident between Onyx Boox Palma or Kindle scribe or onyx Boox tab mini c it’s like seeing King Sabrina 🥹😭🫨 in color is what’s getting me but like what the battery life
