    What do you look for most in an e-ink tablet? Drop your opinion below!

      I look forward to an e-reader without ghosting, with a large battery capacity and good portability

      Great review. How does the battery life of the 4C compare with a non-backlight device like the Go10.3?

      @howtotechstuff  หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Hey Bernard, unfortunately I don't have Go 10.3 to compare. I'm still testing the battery to share more solid stats/life expectations of this device.

      @@bernardbrincat5450 I just received both and am evaluating. It's all about the backlight so far. Go looks good down to dim ambient light, but 4C needs frontlight except in very bright light. Full frontlight on 4C and you can see a percent battery drop every few minutes. Other channels have done numerical tests.

    For reMarkble the thing that makes me look for another device (top of the list) is the Connect subscription.
    This is also the same thing that made me abandon Evernote.
    Otherwise the main thing is the pen on paper quality I am looking for.
    So that’s hard to figure out.

    Ironically this video came up as i opened a new 4c and sysrted updating OS. First thing i notice is how dark is the screen even with max frontlight. I'm coming from OLED screens and black and white 300ppi carta 1200 ereaders. Libra 2 is much more clear than 4C.
    I expected a dark and grainy display intellectually. But it's a gut punch when you've just unboxed something you really want to work.

    Hello, first of all, congratulations on your videos. I have a question if you had to choose a device whose main function would be to read the novels you would choose in the dark:
    Boox Note Air 4c
    Boox Tab Ultra c Pro
    Thank you

    Yes I returned my remarkable pro also due to the screen being too dark .. bought a scribe .. the colour ink technology is just not there yet .. way too dark even with back light on .. and colours are too pastel as well.

    seems nice. But to big. I would wish for it to be roughly A6 Format. And the frame being smaler giving more area to useable screen. but that's probably dedicated to technical reasons and one not wanting to make the hole thing to thick. the remarkable 3 seems great therefore. (the frame/screen ration the device its even bigger ). but i have the remakable 2 and that's just not useable for many reasons.

    Hello, and thanks for the great review! As an author it’s the writing texture and paper-like writing feel that matters most - the colour’s nice to have, but it wouldn’t factor in to my writing to any considerable extent. That being said, could you identity a tad more specifically what about the Remarkable Pro’s surface texture you feel more closely approximates writing on a plain sheet of bond paper? I’ve seen some reviewers suggest one tablet feels more like writing with a ball point pen on paper whereas another tablet feels more like a 2B pencil, if that’s helpful at all.

    Hi, I find this product very interesting but I still ask you for some advice for my work.
    I am a sales representative and I still write orders by hand on a notepad and I send the orders by taking a photo of them with WhatsApp to my company. Crazy stuff but that's how they make me do it. Now I wonder if this product can help me do better. First of all I ask if it is possible to create "customer" folders where I can have a history of the orders that I am going to write and if from there I have the possibility of creating new orders, can I modify the files created and already saved? Because I often have customers who add to the orders and I need to be able to write more. And if I have the possibility of having an app on the company office PC, where my orders arrive, hence the notifications, or if I have to send them only by email... obviously I assume that this tablet has Wi-Fi.
    Thank you very much

    Having a backlight on an ereader defeats the purpose of an eink reader, even though it has the color. So you are in fact looking at a light source rather than reflected light.

      You can connect any third-party keyboard via Bluetooth. Boox doesn't have a keyboard for Air 4C so you'd need to look for third-party solutions.

      Do you realize that you are comparing incomparable things? You’re comparing a colorful, vibrant AMOLED screen designed for visual content, which harms the eyes, with a screen specifically created to minimize eye strain during reading.
      You’re literally comparing a book to a television.

    • @dashie4yt
      @dashie4yt หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@ТатьянаШирокова-ц2н So, you’re saying that, aside from the specific case of reading eBooks-which is absolutely perfect for e-ink displays-a tablet is better in every other aspect. The one and only advantage of e-ink is that it’s less irritating to the eyes. If that’s the case, I completely agree with you. But it is the ONE and ONLY advantage.
      Another important note: in the specific case of reading, we’re talking about novels and essays, where a budget e-ink device works perfectly too. We don't need an expensive device like the BOOX. And, important, when it comes to reading manuals, the screen size of the BOOX Note Air 4C and other e-ink devices is absolutely unsuitable.
      I say this because I purchased two BOOX Note Air devices, the first in black and white and the second in color, and repeatedly tried to use them, hoping for longer battery life, a better reading and writing experience, or greater convenience. But every time, I had to give up.

      @ibad2k หลายเดือนก่อน +5

      Anither advantage of e ink readers is writing feel ! No way does ipad match the writing experience of e ink readers. Specifically black and white e readers have the best writing feel
      Secondly another advantage is battery life !! No way is ipad with its vivid display going to match e ink readers battery life of weeks
      Lastly specific to boox you can edit and annotate pdfs or ebooks without any additional software, same is available in remarkable but it comes with subscription fee.
      Conclusion: your comparison is absurd. It all depends on use case. When your use case means you need ipad/other vivid tablets you cant critique boox tablet here
      Cheers !
