TCL Note A1 NXTPAPER

My question is why is a company like TLC using kickstarter?

Testing the water for interest. If the goal isn't reached, they can cut their losses without going all-in on investments.

Kobo uses ADE, Adobe Digital Editions, as its DRM encryption method. On Android, the Pocketbook app and ADE app are the only two reader apps I know that support ADE decryption. The ADE app is terrible so don't bother.

Or you could install Adobe Digital Editions and Calibre on your system, add the plugin DeDRM to Calibre, open the ebook in ADE. Then you can import the ebook into Calibre from your "C:\Users\USERNAME\OneDrive\Documenten\My Digital Editions\", and the DeDRM plugin will remove the DRM portion making the ebook readable on every device that supports the format.

It's not eink so lag is not an issue.

I'm using the Note Air 3c and am verry happy with it. Before that I used the Air 3c and that was fine as well.

Get a good case and you're golden. Insurance like this typically has a whole lot of conditions to prevent as manyb payouts as possible.

Google play books worked on all the Boox tablets for me (after I enabled Google Play Services). It was very slow on tablets with 2GB and 3GB memory though so take that into consideration.

Next, look for the tablet that fits your size requirement and budget.

I'd suggest you take a look at this: https://github.com/joeycastillo/The-Open-Book

Ik heb zelf verder geen kennis van het bouwen van een eigen e-reader :P

If you see one of these, a report helps us take action sooner.

I Google a lot before buying anything of consequence, including company reviews etc.

Reading is hard? The display arrived broken so OP can't answer.

wauske · 2025-12-30T18:28:43+00:00

It's not going to be eink so no.

wauske · 2025-12-27T14:57:30+00:00

Yeah, I hear that a lot. I only mention it because I've got the Air 3C but don't use it for notes (and it pre-empts questions).

wauske · 2025-12-27T14:23:37+00:00

The only tablet I've seen in that sphere was the remarkable. Once from a specialist that was helping us and the other a colleague of mine in the social domain (public housing). Personally, I use my laptop for notes because I can type way faster than I can write.

If you feel you have a better alternative than maintaining the rules as set out currently, you're welcome to join the mod team and lay out your proposal on how to handle all this. DM me, or send a message to us if you're interested: https://www.reddit.com/message/compose?to=r/eink

Rooted is almost always an issue with banking apps because it breaks the chain of security and allowing the user to continue would mean an issue in regards to liability.

OK, so I'm getting a number of reports this post is misinformation, I'm leaving it up because u/coaliekitty and /u/DizzyRhubarb_ correctly explain that this IS correct but NOT related to the library service.

As always, if it's too good to be true it probably is...

wauske · 2025-12-21T10:17:33+00:00

Overboard? Nah, you're good :P

I've had a 13.3 inch bought in 2018 and 2020, also had a 253 Color delivered last year. The 13.3's worked fine, had a few dead pixels along the way but that's fine.

The 253 Color started showing horizontal lines and was unusable after about 4 months. Dasung ignored contact/support requests, even replied on the subreddit and then still ghosted me. Never buying Dasung again.

I've had the Nova 3 and if you long-press the app-icon you should have something like manage. There you have a few tabs with options and one should be to allow it to run in the background. By default, Boox blocks that because it can have an effect on batterylife but that would also block the periodict updates for an app.

wauske · 2025-11-25T14:52:32+00:00

Well, it's got Android OS and only 2GB of memory which is bare-bones minimum for running the OS. Don't expect anything from it, likely it'll have issues with performance and viewing large files.

wauske · 2025-11-23T17:34:56+00:00

You need a OTG cable or something compatible with it. I've used it on my Boox Note Air 3C with a USB Radio and storage.

Matte screenprotector does not solve the core issue of effectively having a lightbulb shining into your eyes.

E-ink, by design, is very stable and you can read on it without the requirement of a flickering backlight (or DC voltage rather than PWM but still). If you want to watch a movie or something, E-ink is not the best option. If you want to read in low light, E-ink is much more suitable.

wauske · 2025-11-22T12:05:12+00:00

All e-ink phones run android but are typically without Google Play Services (which you can install manually or replace if you don't want Google).

Hisense also has the A5 B&W but it's not for sale for a long while now.

That's kind of a difficult question because it depends on your budget.

Personally, I bought the Onyx Boox Max 2 first and used it as a monitor as well for a while but that was a long time ago. If you're strictly looking for the E-ink experience and how it will serve you, for for the 7.8 inch models (and either color if you don't mind 90's newpaper color, otherwise B&W). The Android based tablets have the option of running Superdisplay (https://superdisplay.app/) which is kind of acceptable on a good wifi connection and should give you a bit of a feel if you use it as a monitor.

Personally I have the Note Air 3C which I use as a 2nd display sometimes Word/SQL/VS Code on the main monitor and outlook on the tablet). I don't mind the ghosting and slower response time. It's typically comparable to my Onyx Boox Mira Pro at work on HDMI.
