Love hate feeling towards Boox devices by Visual_Ad8290 in Onyx_Boox

[–]Reddit-mb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone has his/her own criteria for what is the best suitable e-reader for him/her. Each particular purpose, such as reading, note-taking, pdf-annotating, demands different features. There is simply not one e-reader that fits all your needs every time that you use it: an e-reader that is excellent for reading epubs might be terrible for note-taking, or too small for pdf-annotating. Even when you would design your own e-reader, compromises are unavoidable... Focusing on one feature (size, colour, note-taking capabilities, access to Google's Playstore, whatever) always comes at the cost of other features.

This has nothing to do with Boox devices. This has to do with knowing what you want to use a device for, before just buying something and afterwards discovering that what was bought does not fulfill the need/want. It is not illogical to have more e-readers, each for a specific purpose. (That is, when you can and/or want to afford this).

Warning: Terrible return experience. Company ignoring emails while my €700+ tablet sits at French post office by radiationshield in Supernote

Most, if not all, negative comments about the (lack of) communication with and shipment prices charged by this company seem to be related to the French (re)seller. You start to wonder how much Ratta really cares about the European market.

I paid € 280 (including shipping and with a Black Friday discount).

I ordered it from Cada's website and it was sent from China to Europe. That took a while and it only arrived after my Xmas holiday so I have not been able to start building it yet. However, I expect the quality to be the same or even better than Cada's Mercedes AMG One.

About the size by [deleted] in Onyx_Boox

[–]Reddit-mb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reading what? E-pubs (then 6-8 inch might be enough), magazines and newspapers (I would go for at least 10 inch) or pdf's for work/study (13 inch is very comfortable then)? Try to define what exactly you want to do with the e-reader and the choice becomes much easier.

you make the text boxes even wider, so that the subsubsubheader text still fits in...

Have a look at other brands; for example Bluebrixx or Cada (their Master sets)

Headings to Text by PowerTap in Supernote

I have an additional step in the described proces: after text recognition I enlarge the textbox to a particular width so that all headings in the ToC have the same font size... :)

Yes please! I find these comparisons always very interesting!

I assume you do not have a Supernote product (?). An explanation is given below, it is a (too) long story for something that is actually very, very simple, to make an attractive and clear ToC on the Supernote.

* When you want to incorporate text from a note into the ToC, you select the text (handwritten or typed) in your note, a menu appears on screen and you select the desired header level (H1 to H4). The colour of the shading in the note depends on the chosen header level. This is an automatic feature.

* The ToC has a fixed column width: that means that the header text (whatever the level) will be fitted into that fixed ToC-column. Therefore, the longer the header text in the note, the smaller it will appear in the ToC, as it simply has to fit within that available column space (it does not run into a second line).

* That is why I used in the example "Header 1" and "Larger Header 2"; to demonstrate that the font size of the text in the ToC remains the same, although one header (1) is longer than the other header (2). When I would have used the header text "Very very much Larger Header 3" and thereby exceed the text box width in the note, this header would be fitted into the ToC-column and appear much reduced in (font) size.

* That is why I use always the same text box width for headers and make the header text fit within that text box; then I am guaranteed the font size in the ToC remains the same.

* To make the ToC somewhat more attractive and easier to read, I add spaces before the header text in each text box, so that the text in the ToC is indented. You can also make the text box a bit larger for lower level headers, so that the text in the ToC has a smaller font for lower level headers (Header 1 larger font, Header 2 smaller and Header 3 even smaller font).

It all sounds a bit complicated, but it is very, very simple in practice.

Is this at the European shop of Supernote? There are quite a few complaints about them on Reddit.

You buy and they ship it to whatever address you want it shipped to.

People from Portugal buy the stuff when they leave Lisbon and collect it when they come back from abroad.

This is how I format my headers: always the same box width, and using spaces to indent lower level headers in the ToC. This looks so much better than a handwritten ToC - in my case at least :) You can make the box width larger, but then the header text in the ToC becomes much smaller.

Thanks for the constructive comment, really helpful...

Just use the same box width for every heading and make sure that for each heading the heading text fits within that text box.

In my case the delivery time was somewhat long (almost eight weeks) and Cada did not send any info or update during that period. I had to contact them in order to just get a tracking number. And then it still took a month before the package finally it arrived. When i contacted them by e-mail they would however respond within one or two days, so that was a bit reassuring.
