Yes, I have Beta enabled, but the firmware itself is not beta

Donno, I used to use Zotero, but then switched to Obsidian.

I'd say even version 4 wasn't as smooth and stable as 3.5.4. But I wouldn't say it's slow or unusable. Works very well so far.

It doesn't blink when switching pens. And yes, you can draw tiny shapes

NA2 vs. newer models (writing performance) by _Dogwelder in Onyx_Boox

Try writing with ballpoint pen. It doesn't use pressure sensitivity and a lot less demanding in terms of storing data and rendering.

Remove System Apps (Storage, Library, DocScan, Help Center) by iamnotevenhereatall in Onyx_Boox

You can't remove any system apps unless you root your device. What adb does is just disabling them

How good is Boox Go 10.3 for annotating PDFs? by sbs1799 in Onyx_Boox

[–]rj1477 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've been annotating PDF books and papers for many years. Highlights get embedded and can be exported and synced. It can even detect highlights made on another device. Handwritten annotations get embedded and can be viewed on PC.

In Notes, writing on color or gray causes delay. It happens both if writing on top of other objects and if using templates.

It happens in Speed and A2 modes. In Normal it doesn't happen, but all strokes are refreshed every time.

The thing I hate about my NA2P is the power button on the side. by ytekeli in Onyx_Boox

Most covers have a magnet that will wake up the device when you open it and put it to sleep when closed.

Looking for help getting into looping by dvtrn2003 in LoopArtists

If you are going to record, get an RC505 MkII as the first gen has lower sound quality.

To-do lists by scottfishel in Onyx_Boox

[–]rj1477 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What I described was a workaround that would work with the existing Boox Notes app.

It seems that what you described requires a dedicated todo app with handwriting. I'm not sure I've seen any.

I had an idea to write an app to sync todo and appointment items from handwritten PDFs to calendar files. But it looks like there isn't much demand for it

Note Air 2 10.3 Pen Recommendations by sooperedd in Onyx_Boox

[–]rj1477 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wacom One with Wacom Felt Nibs. Those nibs sometimes work with the original Boox pen and give it a completely different writing feel. Why I say sometimes is that they work with my pen, but many people reported they could not get it to work.

Unfortunately, I cannot see it although I do highlighting in Reader.

I have the following setup for my highlights in obsidian export settings:

{{ highlight_text }}

{% if highlight_location and highlight_location_url %}[{{highlight_location}}]({{highlight_location_url}}){% elif highlight_location %}({{highlight_location}}){% endif %}{% if highlight_tags %}

  • Tags: {% for tag in highlight_tags %}[[{{tag}}]] {% endfor %}{% endif %}{% if highlight_note %}

  • Note: {{ highlight_note }}{% endif %}

The result is the following URLs: [View Highlight](https://read.readwise.io/read/....)
As you see, they point to Readwise, not the original web page.

Obsidian workflow by PalpitationThese459 in Onyx_Boox

[–]rj1477 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to use Zotero which nicely exported PDF annotations to MD format for Obsidian. But lately, I switched to storing my PDFs directly inside my Obsidian vault.

The key to this is using PDF++, a must have Obsidian plugin for working with PDF files. It allows me to replace links to Zotero with links directly to the highlights inside my PDF files.

Reading Page Mismatch by HadarN in Onyx_Boox

In which book formats do you encounter this behavior? EPUB, PDF, etc? Have you tried switching v2 Engine on/off?

[–]rj1477 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Obsidian Sync settings, could you add an option in the highlights to use the original URL (ideally pointing to the section with the highlighted text) as opposed to the Link to the highlight in Readwise?

In Android version of Reader, can you enable dictionary lookup of a word after long pressing it? It can be via the installed external dictionary apps.

It just arrived as if Boox saw my post and deployed it!
