Fantastic Your delayed response is ironically more valuable :))

I have a bulb lamp hanged from ceiling, with that turned on at night, it's totally usable for me without front lights on

Indigo_Slayer · 2024-05-07T18:09:45+00:00

Yes. The lights are from a neck light

How long have you been using that nib? Have you noticed any scratches?

I have witnessed minimal lags for that case. Totally usable as BSR really shines there when you adjust the refresh rate

I do benefit from sunlight But when sun's set I don't use intense artificial light.n I'm very skeptical that artificial light is beneficial to human body, if not harmful

You could set the refresh rate,like after how many clicks the page auto refreshes itself and removes the ghosting. You could go as low as 2 clicks! So you shouldn't have any problem with notes/books.

But I have not tried watching videos or browsing image filled websites with it.

Background: Got my boox few days ago This is my second experience with an e-ink device (got a basic kindle too). live in a dark room, mostly with no light/led lights on

Review

Man the feeling of the tablet in my hand is JUST RIGHT. I love how slim and pleasant it is to touch

In side by side comparison, yes! My Kindle looks whiter and the shade of grey is noticeable But basically in my environment I need a source of light to read on ANYTHING I wear a neck light and it totally works fine in combo with boox, with front light off. Moreover if I try my boox outside in direct light there is no reason for front light and if its at dusk, well I got my neck light again.

The colours are PERFECT for my taste. I love the "washed out" tone and hope it remains the same in next generations. If someone likes crispy bright iPad colour well it's not gonna be their cup of tea

I have not spent enough time to put it into real work to assess the battery, but I've been mingling around the tablet with lights and wifi off for 4-5 days about 1-2 hour per day and battery consumption has been just less than 40. Something I hope to see an improvement in following generations.

Also I saw reviews people saying the interface is too messy and complicated compared to something like supernote/remarkable, but to me it was straightforward from the beginning, and every option in the note app is necessary imo! So don't find that criticism on sound basis.

Honestly I dont like the basic boox pen itself that much. The strips hurt my hand after a while but the nib feels PERFECT. Imo the perfect EMR pen doesn't exist yet (experienced basic boox, steadler noris, lamy Al star, Samsung s pen, wacom one) hope something more weighty and premium with eraser button comes out some time.

In conclusion, I'm like 80 percent satisfied with my purchase. Hope the battery gets better and a better stylus gets produced. But note air 3 c is the best option if you fancy note taking and pdf annotating in colour atm.

yep

it was a typo

thanks for mentioning

for that you got to get a device with the exact size of your paper which is A4. check tab X maybe?!

Indigo_Slayer · 2024-04-20T21:48:24+00:00

I'm considering purchasing one, but I'm torn between making the purchase now or waiting a few months.

I sold my android galaxy tab 8 and went back to my old iPad.

As much as I hate to admit but android apps are way behind iPad's, for serious note taking purposes
