E-ink on Android. What could go wrong?

The Huawei MatePad Paper is an E-ink tablet running HarmonyOS, which is a modified version of Android. It's both wonderful and weird. Here's a mini-review!

It’s insane how much demand there is for an affordable e-ink tab yet nothing available, either the tech is expensive or a certain company is gatekeeping through patents etc.

[Dflect]

so desperatly want e-ink to become cheaper, its such a cool tech.

[目は心の鏡]

I love e-ink I just wish it wasn’t so laggy. Reading on a kindle is so soothing for the eyeballs compared to OLED. The remarkable looks nice at first but it falls short too.

The voice sounds sped up, in like "higher pitched" or something :-D

As an onyx boox note air 2 plus owner (yes it’s a mouthful) I have enjoyed using it on daily basis and not having a headache for hours thanks to the e-ink display.

I think we need an e-ink LAPTOP. Pen support, weeklong battery life. Easy on the eyes.

[francisbonnafoy]

Highly recommend the Boox note air then. It's got all the positives mentioned, and the battery life is amazingly long weeks go by before I charge mine, kindle and googledrive work so all my books and papers are at ready for me to use.

I have a Boox Nova Air which is e-ink on Android, and most Play Store apps work. I use both Audible and Kindle on it. I don't know why they don't work on Huawei's, but it's not an Android issue, it's a Huawei issue.

who are you and what did you do to marton?

[coolak]

I have Onyx Boox Max Lumi 2, it's a huge E-Ink Android tablet, can't complain, it's fabulous.

[Urbancombat]

You sound different, like someone else 😂

And that cover is how I broke my iPad. Thank you for bringing back bad memories and good content.

[igorgiuseppe]

i want!
e-ink is great for reading, its as good as papper (dont make your vision tired), the screen seem to be black and white but that is enough for reading manga (except for cover art)

[martonmehesi-melis]

PLEASE I WANT MORE OF THIS CONTENT.
I love seeing odd tech gadgets that have one, or a couple of gimmicks.
And this one minute duration is the perfect amount of time the present these gadgets/devices.
Please make more of this.

Some of the downsides has nothing todo with the e-ink + android. For example, the Onyx ebook reader have a full app store where there is kindle, audible, scribd, etc.

[klaymoon]

Pretty good. Hopefully the next version will be even faster.

[lmaos.mp]

Is there something up with the mic or the editing… had to really listen if it actually was marton

[jamesmcgrath]

I have a likebook mars, a P6, a Leaf 7 and a nova color. You'd love the magnetic cover for the boox leaf 7. For someone like me who has thousands of books over multiple platforms an android e-reader is a must and for that purpose they are great. If your looking for heavy note taking you'd probably be better off with a tablet. Just my opinion.

[evanpeterjones]

love my onyx! I think e-ink on an assistant-enabled, well-supported, smart watch is going to be a game changer.

[mikev]

I would so love it if we could get a more western focused e-ink phone and tablet.

There's some cracking ones available, mid-ranged, but they're all non-google approved Android, so not usable in the west if you want things like banking apps or similar
