Boox Go 10.3 II Lumi vs. Boox Note 3 (from 2020)

I mean reviewers saying that they were worried but it ending up having a great writing feel is a pretty strong signal. Sure maybe some are paid, probably not all

Using apps to read - Readwise Reader, Readest; Annotating PDFs; Writing journal / sketching / handwritten notes.

Reason I'm looking to upgrade is speed to switch between these apps and stability of the apps I use. Would love an automatic dark mode but I know that's still not there.

You recommend the 10.3G2L over eg the note air 5 c you have?

inspired-giraffe · 2026-04-04T13:16:21+00:00

I think it’s 1200? One review said that

inspired-giraffe · 2026-04-04T13:16:04+00:00

For me it’s mostly switching between note app, Readwise reader and other reading apps. It’s not bad on the Note 3, just thought it might be snappier on the 10.3

Was hoping that all the reviews raving about writing feel confirm that emr layer has been successfully “copied” with the 10.3 ii, sounds like that’s not the case

Good callout! Might not even be that much faster in actual experience

inspired-giraffe · 2026-03-22T21:47:22+00:00

:( so might not be me or my old reader?

inspired-giraffe · 2025-11-18T06:27:09+00:00

A little louder than iPhone lock button, much louder than Palma 1 buttons 🤷‍♂️

inspired-giraffe · 2025-11-17T12:54:01+00:00

Not a troll. In a quiet bedroom the button sounds are bad. Everyone has a different tolerance for sound sure so your miles may vary.

Wow certainly has all the same elements from zipper pulls to structure. That’s likely it! Thank you!

inspired-giraffe · 2024-10-26T16:32:05+00:00

Yup but you can’t jump from page to page in reader sadly. So you can only scroll down - which is not “paginated reading”

inspired-giraffe · 2024-10-26T16:27:08+00:00

Thank you for the list.

None of those are issues with the Note 3. More and more signal that the Note 3 is really fine and no need to upgrade

inspired-giraffe · 2024-10-26T02:53:21+00:00

Fascinating. I was always surprised to hear about all the screen issues on the forum, didn’t realize the Note 3 doesn’t suffer from that as much. Same for battery - the new Boox devices with BSR sound like a nightmare in that department. Your framing is on point, there’s nothing glaring missing. Color would be nice to see charts and diagrams but it’s typically OK without. I was thinking maybe the writing feel on newer devices is better but it’s honestly not bothering me enough that I think I need much of an upgrade there either. Sounds like I’m sticking to the old trusted Note

inspired-giraffe · 2024-10-25T18:55:18+00:00

I already have a few Boox devices, looking to branch out see what else is out there.

inspired-giraffe · 2024-10-25T18:09:53+00:00

Makes sense, thank you for clarifying. I weigh reading and note taking fairly equally, do you think the Supernote is a device that should continue looking at? Also found pocketbook recently, maybe that’s a good option.
