I wish these types of devices weren't so expensive. I would use this everyday, multiple times a day. I use an iPad for my meeting notes (improved cognition and recall) but e-paper is vastly superior. Thanks for the long term review!
@@morningcoach That's why I'm watching the Boox Used Devices page. Great way to pick up a a Boox product at a discount IF it's available. That's how I got my Palma with both types of cases for less than the price of a new Palma, and it's in excellent condition.
Hey Mate, thanks for your review. Two questions: 1. With a kindle scribe you can also make annotations inside an ebook. Is this also possible with the kindle app? 2. What kind of "tablet holder" are you using? It's pretty convenient. (e.g. at 2:55)
There is something fishy going on... @05:46 Why do I see colour(!) in the template right in the lower row (English) ? @07:11 Why do I see colour again in the middle row to the right and in the lower row to the left???
JB! I'm now listening to your audiobook and loving your stuff! I'm taking notes on a reMarkable2, thanks in part to a 2-year-old video of yours (I know the competition is fierce in the e-ink tablet scene, but I really just wanted a digital replacement to paper... I'm all about the handwriting). I love your enthusiasm and I'm loving your book! :-)
Can the whole planner with all of your entries be exported at the end of the year, and will the resulting export operate in any PDF reader with hyperlinks intact?
That’s a great question I think it would depend on the device but yeah you should be able to export any PDF it’s just a PDF so you would export it as PDF thanks for asking
I am a musician who uses a Surface Pro for PDF files, live on stage. The screen is too small for me, but I do have great PDF File management with either Adobe Acrobat or Drawboard. How is this for PDF File management? I make setlists composed of PDF Files (1 pdf per song) that I can then call up when starting a new set. I Import and export PDF files. I mark them up with notes. Move them around continuously. Sometime change fonts or size, maybe make a 2 page pdf because it's easier to read on stage, etc...you probably get the idea :) I sure like the "readability" of an e-reader...and the size of this would be great. Just concerned about the file management system. I ONLY want it for reading and manipulating PDF files quickly. Not going to use it for a calender, reading books, etc. Just songs in PDF format...that I can actually see on stage ;) Would this be a good fit?
I want to test this for you but what I do know is they make special musician Bluetooth pedals for turning the pages. The PDF reader is really good and being 54 I like the size. It is an expensive device but for what u are doing it may be perfect. Just an fyi they have music note templates so you can make notes also. I hate to give advice on something I don’t do but I think this would be a great fit. There are some quirks to it but size, changing pages with a Bluetooth pedal etc…. It’s is a great pic for musicians
Thank you so much for your quick response. I think I am going to give it a try and buy one. I don't use music notation, Just PDF files that have lyrics and chords on them. Usually only 1-2 pages per song. So, I wont need a page turner or fancy music chart software...just good PDF management and file system since I literally have a thousand Song PDFS. I'll check back in after a get one and try it out. Thanks again :) @@morningcoach
@@Steven_Lee_Music PLEASE let me know I used to recommend the Onyx Boox LUMI - the OLD one for that also. This one has so much better software. This will work for that I am sure. The size allows you to read it, the lights make it great at night, and you can mark it up. I am excited to see how it works for you. It is pricey, but it's your music!!! I think you will like the battery life too. Can't wait to see how it works out.
@@morningcoach Hi, Coach! Ok, I've had this for about several months now. And, overall...it's been pretty damn awesome :) Small, lightweight. No harsh glare that lights up my face in a dark room. Very easy to read and add notes to each PDF. I use it a lot. I Do have a couple of software issues tho. The biggie is some of my PDF's are in Landscape mode and some I use in Portrait mode...depending on how many words and chords in the songs. I have an issue with auto-rotate. I have to click it on for almost every PDF...which is a pain to do in the middle of a set. Flipping the computer is not an issue, but then going into the software to find the auto-rotate function and click it on is distracting. I think it says something about Type of files you can do it with...but, they're all just plain PDF files. I haven't figured out how to make it do all of them automatically when I turn the computer. Any ideas? As far as the file/folder management system. Kinda clunky. Basically, I do all that on my computer and then just transfer completed files/folders to the Boox. Much easier. Boox is great as a viewer/reader in my situation...not so great for file/folder management and manipulation. You can do it, but it takes me forever. Not intuitive at all. Anyway, overall I think it is a very good purchase. Much better than using a laptop or Surface Pro, which I was using. The E-INK is the selling feature. So much easier to read on stage and in any lighting condition. Thanks again. - Steve
I just bought it ! I've had a Bookeen since last year and I'm happy with it (10.3"). I didn't want to buy the Remarkable, which has a closed system and requires a subscription... The Boox Tab X is expensive, very expensive ! I hesitated and your video convinced me to buy it. I use Onenote, but I don't know if I'll be able to use it on the Book, even if it does allow it. On my Bookeen, it's impossible because there's too much latency. Thanks for your video.
Hi JB--i was just watching a separate video of your analysis of Johnny Cash's Hurt rendition; preceded by suggestions you would give to our Remarkable 2 engineerings/manufacturers. Keep up the great work and have a nice weekend! Don
Thank you Don I appreciate it. I’m really just trying to create a good channel of fun content….I am trying to put some good energy out there but yes, I’ve got some reMarkable 2 Videos coming. Thanks for asking and thanks for the support appreciate it.
@@morningcoach Thx JB. Its so hard to guess what Remarkable's next move is with the device. I have one that i'm well within the return period on; its tempting to send it back; maybe they will release a new model later this year or in 2024. I made a comment/observation in one of the Facebook Remarkable groups about the official Remarkable photos of the device's screen looking more white in appearance than the actual grey screen. That drew some sharp rebukes by people that swear by Remarkable that "all i need to do is turn on a light." Some in the community agreed with my observation, though. The problem for me is that i'm rarely in the ultra light settings that make the Remarkable's content actually readable to an aging (okay 54) set of eyes. The Supernote (i bought earlier this summer), to me, has a much whiter surface and better contrast than the Remarkable, even though it also lacks lighting. Looking forward to the videos. Best! Don
Two things to get my money. 1) 13" color. 2) Double as external display via hdmi/usb-c.
Thank you for the BOOX Tab X review. It seems to display the books nicely. You are super organized with your folders!

Thank you - Yes that is PRICEY that is the biggest issue, it is really $900+ but does work great so far

Hey, how easy is it to get google play on here? I can see you have it which is great. Thanks. I want to get one for music study.
How do you like reading on it versus a 10" display?

Do you have an idea on when a color will come out? I keep eying this off.
That’s a great question. I have contacts a lot of companies, but I don’t app Onyx but will keep you posted if I hear anything
@@morningcoach Do they have any plan on launching in India? The import duty is itself the price of any device.
Hi. Thanks for the review, its all complete. But i have a question. It can a pdf creat and export to the printer?
Yes, you can export a PDF for sure
@@morningcoach thank you. Today i buy it. Your review help me to decide.
I am loving my tab x for pdf work and reading. Great devices. My Get it done now planner is working great as well.
Love it Jeremy, thank you
Thanks for the review! Quick question: can you connect a wired keyboard? And can you connect both keyb AND mouse? (Bluetooth, whatever)
Yes it is really good with that and a foot pedal for musicians.
Can the whole planner with all of your entries be exported at the end of the year, and will the resulting export operate in any PDF reader with hyperlinks intact?

I have the Boox Tab x 13.3 and would like one just like it half the size. Which one do you suggest?
Hi Jamie, what is the text clarity like? I will be reading kindle books and PDF's I load. Thanks in advance.
YES really clear!!!! I do like it - my favorite BOOX device
Is the surface matte like glass?
It’s not the best writing experience. It really depends on the nib with the pin you’re using, but it is more glassy than scratchy if that makes sense.
I just bought it ! I've had a Bookeen since last year and I'm happy with it (10.3").

Hey JB, quick question, have you eveer analyzed the nove Air 2?
Hey hey I had the Air but not the Air 2 - need to get some of those smaller devices
Hands-down my favorite device. And I’m an Apple fan boy.
Yeah, they did a really good job. This one a little expensive, but I use it every day.
Pumped for this vid
Thank you as always!!!!! If you need to see more please let me know - just went over what I am using :)
You show us the neatest things👏. I learn so much from watching your channel. Thank you for sharing 👍👍. Stay safe healthy and happy ✝️🇺🇸
Thank you
Thank you.
Weren't you all about remarkable 2 😮😂
I use both - I use my reMarkable 2 as my primary planning device, the Onyx I use for my show notes....
Thank yoy!
