Imagine a world where there's a really nice cool dude who makes high quality and eye-pleasing UA-cam videos every day about the same e-ink devices. He lives in some kind of extraordinary world like Groundhog Day, everything related to his content is repetitive, like a time loop at some point, but he somehow manages not to bore his viewers too much. Oh, wait. I know this one. Cheers!
My Supernote Nomad was the best purchase I made last year. It's the perfect size to take everywhere with me. I am saving up to get the Manta to keep at my desk at home just for the larger real estate.
I just find that I’m always wanting to write on my Manta as the writing feel is such a pleasure. And the Manta feels great in the hand as well. Great to see it at No 1!
Yes I don't think that you should underestimate the importance of that feel. Planning on it today I was just loving using the really nice pen on the really nice screen.
Excellent video and couldn't agree more with the new list. If the Manta didn't exist, I would completely go for the Max or 10.3. This just makes more excited for a 13.3 Supernote. Thanks for the shout out.
Totally agree with his number 1 choice, I couldn't wait for the Manta release so went with the Supernote Nomad. Great little device for carrying about everywhere, and the best notebook functionality of the 3 main systems. I then needed something bigger than the Nomad for study book annotation and as the Manta was still not released, I went with the RMPP. Sizewise, it is a great compromise between the Supernote Manta and the Boox Max and my experience of it has been positive overall. If I am still studying when the Supernote 13.3 in comes out, I will go for it with no hesitation.
I had a Boox 10.3 and switched to Remarkable Paper Pro. The color does the trick when writing and highlighting e-books, so it's much easier to take notes on Remarkable. The highlighting is also very helpful there. Despite the very extensive functions in Boox, this system and interface look a bit childish. However, there are great experiences in Boox when reading epub or pdf. However, the lack of a highlighter color in books is terribly depressing. In my opinion, it's a good idea to create a Max version of Boox, if someone prefers to take notes in A4 instead of A5, this is the perfect solution. Only the lack of highlighting color and the lack of highlighting are tiring in the long run. Also, the light from the lamp reflects more strongly on Boox than on Remarkable and you have to play around with the angles more carefully so that everything is legible and doesn't reflect light. Remarkable Paper Pro is very intuitive, fewer functions in the menu, but that's good because I couldn't remember what's where and what to press in Boox. I wasted a lot of time searching the menu/interface.
Thanks so much for sharing. You're absolutely right that remarkable got a lot of things right with this tablet! And I think you hit the nail on the head with what people would want which device.
Yes, I wasn't expecting to like the RMPP as much as I do. Sure, it has it's limitations but I do enjoy the simple approach to PDF annotation. I found the Boox system very powerful but overly complicated for casual use and not that intuitive. The Supernote software is a solid compromise between the simplicity of the Remarkable and the complexity of the Boox. In fairness though, all 3 systems have good things going for them... I hope I am never forced to pick just one of them!
@@Capt.Morgan-Retro I think that if Boox Max added a slight backlight to the screen and a highlighting/noting color. If he changed the appearance of the system a bit to make it more fancy, it would be the perfect e-ink. Well, then it would clash with Boox Note Air 4c, so we probably won't see it. However, if someone has more money, it is worth having both Remarkable Paper Pro and Boox Note Max. I haven't tested SuperNote but it's too small for me.
I've just discovered these devices today and am thinking that an e-ink tablet (the Boox Note Max in particular) may be perfect for my use case. I"m a musician (a drummer) and often need to have sheet music + hand written notes printed in a binder that I can read on a music stand. It would be amazing if I could scan the sheet music I needed for a show, create an "e-book" for that particular show, and easily be able to find the page with the music/notes for a song within seconds and read from the tablet rather than having to bring printed music in a binder. The fact that this a the size of a standard sheet of paper, is great so I can read from it at a distance and, it "looks like" the screen is "anti glare", which would be important to me because of stage lighting. I'm guessing I would use OneNote for this. But as I've said, I'm just discovering this technology now, so leaving this comment here in case someone has an opinion on this. Great informative videos. I've watched a few of them now. - ty
My current e-ink fleet: One handed reading - Boox Palma Travel reading and notetaking - Boox Tab Mini C Full sized reading, notetaking, and work - Boox Tab Ultra C Retired (should sell off) - Boox Note Air 3C Next purchase - either the Boox Tab X or the Boox Note Max. This is for sheet music, PDF reading, notetaking and, depending on which one I get, work (Note Max keyboard case).
On the Tab-X leaving because of the Note max, I would concur because that's what I've done for my work use-case. The Note Max is my first no-light tablet and it did worry me. I was quite disappointed when I unboxed it. However, just getting to work in a room with very poor lighting, I forget about it and it wasn't an issue. Then spent a couple of evenings reading on the Kindle app, poor lighting once again, but what do you know it didn't worry me. The contrast on the screen is excellent. The black is so dark. I didn't think the 207 ppi on the old Tab-X was an issue, until I got the Note Max. So if anyone was consider a Tab-X, just get the Note Max. I'm about to lend my Note Air 4 C to a colleague who is after a color e-ink tablet. She has a reMarkable 2, loves it and uses a lot for productivity. What I haven't asked her is why not the Paper Pro? Gallery 3 shouldn't be a shock to a long time e-ink user.
Thanks for the those interesting reflections! Very useful I'm sure lots of people. And you're right the no front light thing is something that you don't really get bothered by after a while.
It seems that soon there will be a new challenger in town - HyRead Gaze Pro X (from Taiwan). 10.3 inch Carta 1300 Screen with 300 DPI, Android 14, front light, 8 MP camera and bigger battery than Onyx Boox Go 10.3. No info about international release though. Seems interesting.
In my own personal research, I would have to concur with your list. I now use the top 2 in my work and home life. Each distinct in their service but really liking the Manta. I can’t enjoy the software without getting past the hardware. The Manta felt great out of the box. I didn’t feel like I needed to handle it gingerly like the rM2. The exclusive Lamy pen feels great in the hand and due to its light weight, felt less fatigued. The combination of the ceramic pen and notepad feel to screen makes the technology aspect forgettable and clearly invites you to start writing! And the one hardware feature that closed the deal was its future expandability / replaceability in processor, memory, and battery. E-ink tablets in general should be in everyone’s backpack and briefcase for distraction free writing at a moment’s notice.
The Supernote Manta would have been my number one device if Ratta had supported other languages. It's a great device if you think and speak in English. So I had to decide on the Note Max. Which by the way, measures 24.5 cm wide, the same as my 15.6 inch laptop. And almost 29 cm long, about 8 cm less than my laptop. When I travel with the Note Max, in addition to its original case, I put it in its original box, this way it does not move when I carry it in the dedicated laptop pocket in my backpack. But then I can't carry both things at the same time, the laptop and the Note Max. Regards Note: I like the work you do, it helps to decide to buy one of these devices, because as you say, whenever you choose one, it doesn't matter what it is, you have to make sacrifices. That's why you emphasize use cases so much. And I appreciate it. Thanks
When it comes to handwriting recognition, Supernote supports dozens of languages. It's just the system that's limited to EN, JP, and CN. I don't know your specific use case, but I believe you can easily use Manta for writing in a number of languages. Note Max seems like a great choice too, though, don't get me wrong.
@@tlk889 That's something I can't understand. It has letter recognition in more than 60 languages, however it does not have a virtual or physical keyboard in those languages. If you want to correct handwriting recognition, or name a document, you cannot use the symbols of your language, in my case, the accented words, the umlaut, (example: á, ü or the letter "ñ"). Boox, for example, has poorly translated menus, even if you select another language, most of the menus are still in English. But it is a minor problem because you have data entry in your chosen language. Regards
Thanks so much for this lovely comment. Wishing you all the very best in your e-ink exploration, and very much looking forward to hearing how you are getting on with your new Note Max!
I use both the Nomad and the Manta and wouldn't trade them for all the others combined. Well, maybe I would, but I'd sell all the others on eBay. If you have to write for a living, the Supernote platform is the one you want.
Interesting comparisons. I have the RM 2 and Boox Go 10.3, my immediate is to look at the 8" size screen for reading with writing as an option. Maybe the AIpaper mini or the SN Nomad are good options. What I would love to see a standard where handwriting is recognized across devices. For a color I still prefer the Apple family with Ipad Air or Pro as the app ecosystem is much better. The RM 2 maybe limited in features but it does simple really well. So much easier to just add a document, sign then download. Also the ability to combine text with handwriting is another plus.
Yeah I think this is a good point and I think if you are going to stick with an iPad then a simple note-taker like the remarkable or the supernote makes perfect sense. Cheers to you.
Yeah although I did run my Note Air 3C exclusively without the light on for a week or so to see how that worked, and I did find that more often than not it was quite doable! You just have to be a bit more conscious of the lighting conditions and how you orientating the device.
Love listening to your reviews even though I've enjoyed my SN A5X for 2 years! Now I'm thinking of a second device at some time but the big question for me is transferability of notes and annotated pdf's. Could you maybe do an episode about devices and transferability as I'm probably not alone in thinking 2nd device or migration to another brand. Thanks for all you do Kit!
Thanks so much for your kind words I suppose wanting you could do so all your previous notes as PDFs and then import them onto a different device. Also wanting that I have not really discussed but if you want to boox you could always have the supernote app installed on boox and keep all your things in the cloud there!
Quality video all round. Any update on the ghosting on the note max that people were seeing? One thing I liked about the remarkable pro was hardware-wise it could handle a lot of zooming in and out on notes for very detailed mind maps, though it was let down by the touch controls which were so unreliable. Any possibility for zooming in and out on boox notes?
In fact I'm going to release the video really soon about using the new margins feature on boox software 4.0 which allows you to essentially have an infinite zoom. And honestly the ghosting isn't something that's really putting me or seemingly a lot of other users off at this point!
Yeah it seems like it's all of them. I don't know if it's an Android version thing or specifically Box. If you needed to I guess you could do that through a browser.
because you can use any app on an Eink doesn't mean you should, and since apps on any of these devices is a horrible experience it should not be a plus
Absolutely! But the ability to install other apps allows you to integrate with other systems that you might use in your wider work ecosystem and so I do think it's an important positive for many users.
Hi, thanks so much for these videos, I have been watching a lot recently and find them really helpful. I switched from the Manta to the Boox Go 10.3 due to ease of syncing files and better quality of the notes when viewing on PC. I did love the Manta but those things were limiting for me. I would like another, smaller device which still uses a pen, and maybe has a frontlight. Just wondering if there are any front-lit e-ink tablets which are not super dark when the light is off? I bought an air 4c at the same time as my Go 10.3 to compare, and while frontlights are sometimes really useful, I love being able to just leave my tablet out to take notes as needed rather than feeling like the battery will run out on me.
Yeah I'd love to try one but they've not been interested to send me one because they're not focused on the UK market, I've also considered buying one to test out but they don't seem too many ways to buy that yet!
Thanks a lot for your detailed analysis. I own a RPP and still in the 100-day trial, I tried a Boox note max which I already returned and I'm waiting for the SN A5X2 to be delivered. I really like the minimalist approach, the size and colour option of the RPP but for my job (lawyer) and studies (WSET Diploma) it lacks some essential features offered by SN. Boox offers everything in terms of software and, in my view, a messy/buggy software and an unreliable post-sale support (my iPad Pro 13 inch is better at everything). Therefore I'm leaning towards the SN as I need its system of references, links and headers. It is great but not perfect, I would have preferred a SN with the bigger screen and front light of the RPP and the split screen option of the Note max (this is however in the road map). Any thought on the SN manta screen size in comparison with RPP and its lack of a front light? As to the final list, the RPP, in my view, should be ranked as 3rd: gallery 3 colour, front light and screen size (bigger than 10.3 but still portable if compared to 13.3) are 3 factors representing a unique, as of now, proposition in the market of e-ink device and should not be underestimated. Can you expand on this?
Hiya, thanks so much for the comment and interesting discussion. The thing which will really blow you away with the manta is the writing feel! If that's a priority you won't miss the extra size in my opinion. I think if you've found that the rM pro was a nice experience, but it just didn't quite have enough features for everything you needed then supernote is certainly a nice balance. I don't disagree with your point about the ranking, it was certainly very close between them all, I'd say that the way I compared the three brands in Note Taking, Reading and Writing and Other, in my last live stream probably shows why I put it behind the Boox 10.3 devices, (Go, Note Air and Tab Ultra,) because it just doesn't win at any of those categories! Great tablet though and I think you make a solid point about the gallery 3, but for core eink tasks, the loss of resolution, and contrast, (and I don't like that flashing,) is really not a trade off I'd recommend for most people! Cheers to you!
Certainly agree with your top 2 choices, but don't agree with your other placings. I would have: (3) RMPP (colour, great size for PDF annotation), (4) Supernote Nomad (ideal "carry around" size, brilliant notes system), (5) Note 4C (good all-round colour device) and (6) Go 10.3 (over-rated IMO). Don't really care about the other lower placings...
I would have bought the Manta but Supernote is not available herebin the Philippines so I go for the Go 10.3. No offense for the Max but it's too big for my preference
What do you think about the new Top 10 E-Ink tablets, do you agree or disagree with any of my picks? Share your experiences as it is incredibly valuable to others making the same choices as you.

You said you can’t install ChatGPT on boox devices?? Is this all of them or a specific device?
Yeah it seems like it's all of them. I don't know if it's an Android version thing or specifically Box. If you needed to I guess you could do that through a browser.
because you can use any app on an Eink doesn't mean you should, and since apps on any of these devices is a horrible experience it should not be a plus
Absolutely! But the ability to install other apps allows you to integrate with other systems that you might use in your wider work ecosystem and so I do think it's an important positive for many users.
thank you for this video !!

Hi, thanks so much for these videos, I have been watching a lot recently and find them really helpful. I switched from the Manta to the Boox Go 10.3 due to ease of syncing files and better quality of the notes when viewing on PC. I did love the Manta but those things were limiting for me. I would like another, smaller device which still uses a pen, and maybe has a frontlight. Just wondering if there are any front-lit e-ink tablets which are not super dark when the light is off? I bought an air 4c at the same time as my Go 10.3 to compare, and while frontlights are sometimes really useful, I love being able to just leave my tablet out to take notes as needed rather than feeling like the battery will run out on me.
Thanks for sharing your experiences I'd love to hear what you think about the go 10.3 versus the Note Air 4 C..
What abou the new Quaderno?
Yeah I'd love to try one but they've not been interested to send me one because they're not focused on the UK market, I've also considered buying one to test out but they don't seem too many ways to buy that yet!
Love it!
Cheers to you!
Thanks a lot for your detailed analysis. I own a RPP and still in the 100-day trial, I tried a Boox note max which I already returned and I'm waiting for the SN A5X2 to be delivered. I really like the minimalist approach, the size and colour option of the RPP but for my job (lawyer) and studies (WSET Diploma) it lacks some essential features offered by SN. Boox offers everything in terms of software and, in my view, a messy/buggy software and an unreliable post-sale support (my iPad Pro 13 inch is better at everything). Therefore I'm leaning towards the SN as I need its system of references, links and headers. It is great but not perfect, I would have preferred a SN with the bigger screen and front light of the RPP and the split screen option of the Note max (this is however in the road map). Any thought on the SN manta screen size in comparison with RPP and its lack of a front light? As to the final list, the RPP, in my view, should be ranked as 3rd: gallery 3 colour, front light and screen size (bigger than 10.3 but still portable if compared to 13.3) are 3 factors representing a unique, as of now, proposition in the market of e-ink device and should not be underestimated. Can you expand on this?
Hiya, thanks so much for the comment and interesting discussion. The thing which will really blow you away with the manta is the writing feel! If that's a priority you won't miss the extra size in my opinion. I think if you've found that the rM pro was a nice experience, but it just didn't quite have enough features for everything you needed then supernote is certainly a nice balance.
I don't disagree with your point about the ranking, it was certainly very close between them all, I'd say that the way I compared the three brands in Note Taking, Reading and Writing and Other, in my last live stream probably shows why I put it behind the Boox 10.3 devices, (Go, Note Air and Tab Ultra,) because it just doesn't win at any of those categories!
Great tablet though and I think you make a solid point about the gallery 3, but for core eink tasks, the loss of resolution, and contrast, (and I don't like that flashing,) is really not a trade off I'd recommend for most people!
Cheers to you!
Thanks for your comment!
My pleasure! 🙂
You are the best thanks sir 🎉
Cheers to you, like thanks!
Certainly agree with your top 2 choices, but don't agree with your other placings. I would have:
(3) RMPP (colour, great size for PDF annotation), (4) Supernote Nomad (ideal "carry around" size, brilliant notes system), (5) Note 4C (good all-round colour device) and (6) Go 10.3 (over-rated IMO). Don't really care about the other lower placings...
I would have bought the Manta but Supernote is not available herebin the Philippines so I go for the Go 10.3. No offense for the Max but it's too big for my preference
Go 10.3 is a great choice! Wish you joy of it and hope it works out for you!
one prog on daylight dc1 maybe
Yeah I'd love to! I need to reach out to them again actually see if they've got a copy now available for review!
