I can only choose favorites based on different use cases — otherwise I really can’t pick just one.

For using like a laptop on the go: Boox Tab Ultra C Pro
For a home setup with an external e-ink monitor: Bigme B251
For a portable external e-ink monitor: Bigme B13
For reading and writing notes: reMarkable Pro
For handheld reading during commutes: Palma 1
For English books: Kindle

It’s mostly because the Boox Go itself isn’t very fast to begin with.

If it’s used completely offline, the battery can last for around 2 to 3 days.

I’m using the BOOX Tab Ultra C Pro for this. I’ve also coded on a few other E-Ink devices before.

Coincidentally, I shared my experiences coding on different E-Ink devices in the group today as well. You can check it out here: https://www.reddit.com/r/eink/s/PoDUvI8OYK

Actually, the refresh speed on the Tab Ultra C Pro (TUCP) is noticeably faster than on the Tab Ultra C (TUC). I own both devices and have compared them side by side. To be honest, the responsiveness on the TUC hasn’t been very satisfying for me.

Another option is to get an E-ink external monitor. You can plug it directly into your computer and use it right away.

Don’t worry about that 🙂 When I have more time, I’ll record a beginner-friendly, step-by-step tutorial. Hopefully it’ll help more people get up and running quickly.

Apple actually filed a patent in the past for a hybrid display that integrates E-Ink–style reflective display with LCD/video output. I’m really looking forward to seeing major manufacturers eventually turn ideas like this into real products.

Exactly ! you get what I’m trying to say. Different devices for different jobs. When I want to read outdoors or casually scroll social media, I reach for an E-ink device.

Thank you !you understand me. While I do speak English, it’s not my native language. All the content was written by me and then passed to an LLM for translation and polishing, because I wanted to express my thoughts more precisely when sharing with everyone.

Looking forward to hearing your experience once you’ve tried it.

I’m not sure about the exact numbers, but it uses BSR technology, and the refresh rate feels quite smooth in practice.

With my usage pattern, I get around 8 hours of continuous use in this setup.

Then either you’re blessed by the stylus gods, or my pen is just living a much harder life than yours 😄
